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

12thMore challenging than 12% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

82BC — “Intellectually Challenging”4 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

45thMore work than 45% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

55BC — “Workload”4 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.

Industrial and Organizational (I-O) Psychology is a scientific discipline that studies human behavior in the workplace. I-O psychologists help institutions with hiring, managing, developing, supporting employees, while working to align employee efforts with business needs. Some intended outcomes of I-O psychology include better talent to achieve the strategic goals of the organization, reduced turnover, increased productivity, and improved employee engagement. The tools and methods used in I-O psychology are highly transferable, as they are based upon the application of scientific processes toward studying people at work which incorporate aspects of statistics, research techniques, and other evidence-based approaches.

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.
