URSSA
- Undergraduate
Research Student Self-Assessment
URSSA is an online survey instrument for use in evaluating student
outcomes of undergraduate research experiences in the sciences.
The URSSA survey items have been thoroughly tested and URSSA is now
available for
returning and new users!
URSSA is hosted by salgsite.org, the web site that hosts the SALG
(Student Assessment of their Learning Gains), a survey instrument for
undergraduate course assessment. Through the salgsite platform,
URSSA users have access to all of the functions developed originally
for
the SALG, including the ability to:
- use and
customize an existing survey
- administer
it to students online
- examine
simple statistical reports of the results
- download
the data for detailed analysis on your own computer.
While a direct portal to URSSA is
under
development, URSSA is available to departmental and program users
through the SALG interface.
