This aricle summarizes how course evaluation reports for private music lessons work.
Overview
The MUS-PRV report combines all private music lessons for a given instructor into a single report. Combining all MUS-PRV courses into one report helps us protect student privacy in classes where enrollments are below the minimum enrollment threshold (Policy XXX).
Known Issues
While Blue accurately counts the number of responders across all (and only) MUS-PRV courses, the system 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).
Example
In this Spring 2024 example, the instructor taught:
MUS-ENS 127/327
2 students enrolled/invited
0 students responded
MUS 351
11 students enrolled/invited
8 students responded
MUS 500
1 student enrolled/invited
0 response
MUS-PRV 112
2 students enrolled/invited
1 student responded
MUS-PRV 312
3 students enrolled/invited
0 students responded
MUS-PRV 514
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 their evaluation and divides it by the number of students who were invited to complete the evaluation. (Figure 1)
