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

43rdMore challenging than 43% 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

94thMore work than 94% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

85BC — “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.

This capstone course requires students to apply content knowledge from the psychology major to real-world problems. Students will develop an applied project that bridges psychology and action as they leverage their background in the discipline of psychology to promote social justice and improve the conditions of their communities. Students should enroll in this course at the conclusion of their psychology major as they will rely on previous content throughout this course.This is the capstone for the psychology major - students should have completed at a minimum: ADPS1100, ADPS1153, ADPS1261, and ADPS2272.

Workload, difficulty & attendanceNot ratings

WorkloadHow much work the course took outside class, on Boston College's five-band scale — the band boundaries are not published, so this is not a number of hours.

8594th pctl

Intellectually ChallengingThe course was intellectually challenging.

9043rd pctl

Attendance MattersAttending class was necessary to do well in this course.

9043rd pctl

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.
