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
41stMore challenging than 41% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
89BC — “Intellectually Challenging”8 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
79thMore work than 79% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
63BC — “Workload”8 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 is intended to introduce students to the world of digital marketing and the many different facets that work together in shaping an online digital branding presence to meet strategic business goals. A digital marketing strategic plan is one that helps achieve specific digital goals through carefully selected online marketing channels such as paid, earned, and owned media. Areas of focus include the origins of the digital marketing channel, how it has transformed the way customers interact with brands and products, as well as how marketers leverage different digital channels to optimize sales, awareness, and engagement goals. Students will gain a deeper understanding of how marketing teams function based on different organizational structures and will develop their own strategic plan based on a real-world company or organization.

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.
