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

49thMore challenging than 49% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

90BC — “Intellectually Challenging”5 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

81stMore work than 81% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

65BC — “Workload”5 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.

Self-awareness is the starting point for leadership excellence. While Socrates believed the first step to true wisdom is to "know thyself," the maxim is equally true for leaders. It is fundamental for leaders to deeply know their values, assumptions, and beliefs to be effective in organizational settings. Knowing oneself is vital for individuals who seek to shape and create the future.Self-aware leaders are more open to receiving candid feedback and pursuing self-improvement. They also are attuned to the needs, feelings, and experiences of others. Deep understanding of self helps leaders be more aware of the impact of their actions on those around them. They make decisions more thoughtfully and are more likely to consider the needs and perspectives of others. Therefore, grounding in emotional and social intelligence is fundamental to leader success. This course will equip students with insight on their current EI competence and provide tools to increase self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management.Students will take two self-assessments (Predictive Index and EI survey) to establish a baseline of their current levels of self-awareness. They will have the opportunity at the end of their studies to retake the assessments to learn how they have increased their self-awareness and EI skills.

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.
