Abstract
In 2015, NSSE collected responses from more than 315,000 first-year and senior students attending 585 bachelor’s degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The following pages present selected NSSE results from students at 541 U.S. institutions or subsets of that group where supplemental survey items were included. They also report selected results from NSSE’s two companion surveys, the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) and the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE). In this report, they investigated NSSE results that bear on the importance of challenging students to do their best work, seniors’ preparation in the major, and the relationship of financial stress to engagement and views of the campus environment. The BCSSE analysis examined high school study habits and their relationship with the first year of college. The authors use FSSE results to investigate faculty perceptions safety and crisis preparedness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
