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

14thMore challenging than 14% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

83BC — “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

—BC — “Workload”1 record — 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.

In the digital world where organizations are deluged by data an essential leadership competency has emerged: understanding and utilizing data analytics for decision making. This course will equip students with the analytical mindset needed to make actionable decisions by analyzing and interpreting multiple types of data. Students will learn the meaning of data science, data analytics, and big data and how they are used to make decisions for innovation, resource allocation, and value creation. According to McKinsey, data-driven companies are better at acquiring new customers, maintaining customer loyalty, and achieving above-average profitability. This points to the need to include a course on Decision-making with Data an essential component of any leadership development program. In addition to introducing students to the language of data science and data analytics from terms like processing, cleaning, and validating data to predictive and descriptive analytics - this course will teach students analysis methods like regression. Knowing both terminology and methodology of data analytics will enable students to actively engage in the processes of problem formulation and decision-making in their organizations. Finally, students will learn how to tell stories with data, synthesizing data into reports, presentations, and visuals that are meaningful and delivered in a convincing format. No prior background in data science or statistics is required.

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.
