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

16thMore challenging than 16% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

84BC — “Intellectually Challenging”3 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

78thMore work than 78% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

60BC — “Workload”3 records · raw score out of 100

Boston College reports workload for this class only as one of five bands, not as a number of hours, and it does not publish what the bands mean — so this site will not translate it into hours. Higher means more work, which is not the same as worse.

This course presents the landscape of venture funding and provides entrepreneurs with qualitative and quantitative decision-making tools to make well-informed, strategic choices about how to fund their new ventures. It covers the broad spectrum of startup funding options, from bootstrapping and loans, tapping friends and family resources, competing for accelerator and government funding, to seeking angel and venture capital investments. Within this spectrum, students will learn how to assess the feasibility of raising external funds for different business models at different stages of company growth, and how to analyze the tradeoffs of various funding options. The course also provides students with a grounding in the structure of venture capital investing, including term sheets, valuation, capitalization tables, boards of directors, preparing for due diligence, and the risk-reward perspective of traditional venture investors. Students will develop skills in analyzing the early-stage growth, revenue, and financial projections required for different types of funding through assigned business cases. They will prepare and present a funding pitch for a new venture of their choice as a final course project.

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.

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.
