This aricle summarizes how course evaluation reports for private music lessons work. |
Overview
Instructors in the Music department receive Section-Instructor reports for every course taught including MUS-PRV courses. These reports often fail to meet our minimum enrollment threshold (Policy 4300 6.1) so they may appear greyed out or inactive in Blue.
The MUS-PRV report is a special report. It combines all private music lessons lesson courses for a given instructor into a single report without course or student identifiers. Combining all MUS-PRV courses into one report helps us protect gets student feedback to instructors while protecting student privacy in classes where enrollments are typically below the minimum enrollment threshold (Policy 4300 6.1).

Gaps
The MUS-PRV report accurately counts the number of responders across all (and only) MUS-PRV courses; however, the
...
report counts the number of invited students across all courses taught by a given instructor (even if the course is in another subject area such as MUS or MUS-ENS), which inflates the denominator used in the response ratio calculation. As a result, the response ratio on MUS-PRV reports is inaccurate from a MUS-PRV response ratio perspective.
The example illustrates how MUS-PRV reports are constructed and how the response ratio is calculated.If there are no MUS-PRV student responses saved or submitted, an empty MUS-PRV report will be generated.
Example
In this Spring 2024 example, the instructor taught:
MUS-ENS 127/ 327
2 students enrolled/invited
0 students responded
MUS 351
11 students 13 students enrolled/invited
8 students responded
MUS 500
1 2 student enrolled/invited
0 response
MUS-PRV 112101
2 1 students enrolled/invited
1 student responded
MUS-PRV 312301
3 students enrolled/invited
0 students responded
MUS-PRV 514501
1 student enrolled/invited
1 response
So, on the MUS-PRV report, the invited number is 20 (total invited across all courses taught in Spring 2024). The responded number is only from the pool of people enrolled in a MUS-PRV courseāof the 6 students in one or another MUS-PRV course, only 2 saved or submitted the evaluation. For the response ratio, Blue counts the number of people who saved or submitted their a MUS-PRV evaluation and divides it by the number of students who were invited to complete the evaluationevaluations for any Music department course taught by the instructor. This results in a response ratio of 10.0%, which is inaccurate from a MUS-PRV response ratio perspective. (Figure 1)
