Notes
In addition to providing the level of significance for each question where the University of Arkansas's responses were significantly different from either the Benchmark or Doctoral-Extensive comparison groups, NSSE also provided the effect size associated with each of those questions. The effect size is the practical significance of mean differences. The larger the effect size, the more emphasis one should place on that difference. An effect size of 0.8 is considered large; 0.5 considered moderate; and 0.2 is considered small.
