Request Date Start: 08/01/2015
Request Date End: 12/31/2019
Details: For every section of every undergraduate course offered at the Storrs campus and between Fall 2015 and Fall 2019 (inclusive of these two semesters and all intervening summer & winter sessions), I request the following information:
- Semester (e.g. Fall 2015)
- Instructor name & unique identifying number (if such a number exists and is invariant to name changes)
- School (e.g. ENGR, CLAS, etc)
- Course written name (e.g. Intro to Microeconomics)
- Course identification number (e.g. ECON 1201)
- Section identification number (e.g. 001)
- Section enrollment/number of final grades posted (e.g. 97. This should equal the sum of the counts for each letter grade provided in the distribution of letter grades and should reflect the total number of students receiving a letter mark for the section.)
- Average GPA (out of 4.0)
- Median GPA (out of 4.0)
- Distribution (counts) of letter grades (including non-grade values such as I, W, P, F, N, X, etc.)
If possible, do not combine cross-listed courses. (e.g. A course offered under two separate names, majors, schools but is actually a single course.)
Please provide the requested data in either Excel (.xlsx) or comma-separated value (.csv) format.
Please ensure the provided information is FERPA compliant. For example, courses with sufficiently low enrollment (e.g. <= 5) may need to be excluded in order to prevent identification of individual students. Please include those courses but refrain from including any of the requested GPA/grade information. (This is to ensure an accurate index of courses & sections irrespective of their enrollment numbers.)
If this request will incur a cost, please get in touch before incurring that cost. Additionally, please contact me if any individual piece of information is prohibitively time-consuming to aggregate. (e.g. Suppose the School of a course may not be readily available in any database and may need to be manually populated.)
As a potentially helpful reference for completing this request, the University of Wisconsin provides a similar array of information (in PDF form) for each semester going back to Fall 2013, which can be found at the following URL under 'Course grade-distribution reports': https://registrar.wisc.edu/grade-reports/
