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 4300 6.1).

Known Gap

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.

The example provided illustrates how MUS-PRV reports are constructed as well as how the response ratio is calculated.

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 courseā€”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 course taught by the instructor. (Figure 1) The results in a response ratio of 10.0%, which is inaccurate.
