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

60thMore challenging than 60% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

92BC — “Intellectually Challenging”1 record · 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

100thMore work than 100% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

100BC — “Workload”1 record · 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.

If organizations run on knowledge, effective organizations depend on data management and analysis to integrate their systems with their strategies and their operations. This course analyzes the structure of database management systems, guides you through techniques for querying and analyzing an organization's data, and teaches you how to build a well-structured relational database. Database management systems are studied, databases are compared to other technologies for storing and using data, and students develop extensive hands-on skills in exploring and querying databases. Students also analyze a set of information requirements, and then design and build a database. Oracle and the SQL language will be used extensively. By learning database management, the diligent student will make herself or himself more useful at work and more valuable to her or his employer.

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.
