Characteristics of departmental networks about undergraduate teaching^a

Department	Network density	Transitivity (%)
Green (n = 19)	0.29	17.9
Yellow (n = 43)	0.18b	26.7b
Red (n = 23)	0.34	30.5
Blue (n = 28)	0.15	12.6

^aSurvey participants identified all departmental colleagues with whom they interact. Their nominations create a network of connections among faculty, and the degree of cohesion within the network is characterized by density. Transitivity relates to how efficiently information can be expected to travel through a network.

^bThis value should be interpreted with caution, because this department had more missing data than the other departments.
