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

1. 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.

Example

In this Spring 2024 example, the instructor taught:

• MUS-ENS 127/227

  • 2 students enrolled/invited

  • 0 students responded

  MUS 440

  11

  327

  • 13 students enrolled/invited

  • 8 students responded

• MUS 512500

  • 1 2 student enrolled/invited

  • 0 response

• MUS-PRV 112101

  • 2 1 students enrolled/invited

  • 1 student responded

• MUS-PRV 314301

  • 3 students enrolled/invited

  • 0 students responded

• MUS-PRV 511501

  • 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 course—of 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 a MUS-PRV evaluation and divides it by the number of students who were invited to complete evaluations for any Music department course taught by the instructor. (Figure 1) The This results in a response ratio of 10.0%, which is inaccurate from a MUS-PRV response ratio perspective. (Figure 1)
