Supporting Documentation for the Self-Study Questions and the Unit Accomplishment Summary

To assist departments/programs in preparing the self-study and the Unit Accomplishment Summary, various administrative offices across campus serve as resource to facilitate the gathering of data/information from centralized databases.

Each academic program is provided a data booklet from the Office of Institutional Research (http://www.ir.fsu.edu/links/linksinfo.cfm?ID=t_enhancement). The data booklet includes information about undergraduate and graduate enrollment, degrees awarded, student credit hours by instructor type, program expenditures, and instructional workload.
The Office of Sponsored Research (http://www.research.fsu.edu/sras/) provides information regarding faculty research activities, including the number of proposals submitted and funded and award amounts. This data will also be helpful in preparing responses to the self-study questions and completing the Unit Accomplishment Summary.
The Unit Accomplishment Summary requires that you obtain publication and citation counts from a web-based database produced and maintained by the Institute for Scientific Information (http://ts.isiknowledge.com). The method for obtaining these counts may be found at http://bio.fsu.edu/~thistle/nrccounts.html.
As part of the Quality Enhancement Review, faculty SUSSAI scores are analyzed for the last five years. The median score for #8 from each faculty member's SUSSAI (for each course) is reported using a template provided by the Office of the Provost. The Center for Teaching and Learning (http://learningforlife.fsu.edu/ctl/collaborate/PIE/) serves as a resource to assist programs with obtaining this data.
Questions about program and student learning outcomes should be directed to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (kmorton@fsu.edu).
