Dear Miss Jessci,

I refer to your request dated 2 December 2024. We apologise for the delay
in providing a response.  The University’s response follows:

‘Grade Distribution: Could you please provide the grade distribution for
all courses within the Master of Business Analytics program for the past
four academic years? I am interested in knowing the percentage of students
who received each grade (e.g., A+, A, A-, B+, etc.).’

The information requested for the years 2021 and 2022 is publicly
available at
[1]https://fyi.org.nz/request/28467-histori...,
except for courses with low numbers of students. This part of your request
is refused under s 18(d) in respect of the publicly available information
and under 9(2)(a) in respect of courses with low numbers of students, to
protect their privacy.

The information requested for 2023 is publicly available at
[2]https://fyi.org.nz/request/27761-average...,
except for courses with low numbers of students. This part of your request
is refused under s 18(d) in respect of the publicly available information
and under 9(2)(a) in respect of courses with low numbers of students, to
protect their privacy.

The information requested for 2024 is publicly available at [3]Grade
Distribution for All Papers In 2023 and 2024 - a Official Information Act
request to University of Auckland - FYI except for courses with low
numbers of students. This part of your request is refused under s 18(d) in
respect of the publicly available information and under 9(2)(a) in respect
of courses with low numbers of students, to protect their privacy.

‘Failure Rates: Could you also provide the failure rates for each course
within the Master of Business Analytics program over the same period? This
would include the percentage of students who failed or did not pass each
course.

If possible, I would appreciate the data being broken down by year and
course. I understand that personal information will not be disclosed, and
I am only seeking aggregated data for academic and research purposes.’

The information requested for failure rates is included in the
spreadsheets published on the webpages above.  The University does not
hold the percentage statistics requested but you can calculate these using
the spreadsheets published on the webpages above. This constitutes a
partial refusal of your request under s 18(d) of the OIA, as the
information requested is publicly available.

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan

Dear University of Auckland,

 

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I am writing to request
information regarding the Master of Business Analytics program.
Specifically, I am seeking the following details:

 

Grade Distribution: Could you please provide the grade distribution for
all courses within the Master of Business Analytics program for the past
four academic years? I am interested in knowing the percentage of students
who received each grade (e.g., A+, A, A-, B+, etc.).

 

Failure Rates: Could you also provide the failure rates for each course
within the Master of Business Analytics program over the same period? This
would include the percentage of students who failed or did not pass each
course.

 

If possible, I would appreciate the data being broken down by year and
course. I understand that personal information will not be disclosed, and
I am only seeking aggregated data for academic and research purposes.

 

Please let me know if there are any fees associated with this request
before processing it.

 

Thank you for your assistance with this matter. I look forward to your
response.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Miss Jessci
