Boston College course evaluations · every published number, ranked class by class

Positions account for how many records stand behind each number, so one perfect review does not outrank a semester of them. Every score shown is the real average — only the ordering is adjusted.

That is the class itself, averaged across everyone who taught it. Who taught it, and how each of them scored, is the board below — that is what a student picking a section is actually choosing between.

What the challenge rank is made of
84thMore challenging than 84% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
96BC — “Intellectually Challenging”2 records · raw score out of 100

Boston College's own “intellectually challenging” question for this class only — students answer it positively about courses that stretched them, so it measures intellectual challenge and NOT grading, workload or quality. Almost every BC class scores high on it, which is why it is shown as a rank rather than a score.

What the workload rank is made of
BC — “Workload”2 records — does not contribute

Boston College's workload question was not reported in these records, so there is nothing to show. That is missing data, not a light class.

Social Entrepreneurship focuses on developing innovative, market-based solutions to long- standing social issues. Social entrepreneurs are motivated to create profitable, sustainable companies that have a positive impact on the community, the broader society, and the planet. In this course, students will learn how to design, build, and lead profitable, impactful social enterprises. They will analyze best practices for measuring and assessing the impact of social entrepreneurship in a variety of organizational, enterprise, and community settings. Case studies and guest speakers will illustrate the challenges and expanding opportunities of social entrepreneurship models in the private and public sector. Course topics include defining social entrepreneurship as distinct from traditional entrepreneurship; analyzing the essential components of a sustainable, scalable social enterprise; understanding organizational, governance, and funding options; reflecting on the interpersonal, analytical, and leadership skills that characterize successful social entrepreneurs; developing innovative solutions using strategies for co-creation with core stakeholders; and applying tools for measuring social impact and sustainable change.

Bar length is the rank against every comparable record we hold, not the raw score: BC's questions all have a median around 4.5, so a raw-scale bar would be nearly full on every row and would tell you nothing. Every bar is one ink colour — nothing here is graded green or red. The hatched bars are not ratings at all: a higher number on either describes a different course, not a better one. 1 of 13 questions were not reported and are left out rather than shown as zero.

How to read this boardInstructors are ranked on their record in this class only, never on their average across everything they teach. Scores are out of 100 — Boston College's 1–5 agreement scale, ×20, the way these numbers were printed for years. Workload is BC's own five-band figure, not a number of hours, and is shown as a rank. A dash means the question was not reported, and is never a zero.
