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
23rdMore challenging than 23% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
85BC — “Intellectually Challenging”7 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
80thMore work than 80% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
64BC — “Workload”7 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, with a multidisciplinary perspective that involves athletes, health care providers, and administrators, will provide a basic overview of key health and wellness aspects within sport and the administration and delivery of that health care. It will explore the regulatory and medical legal landscape affecting sports health and wellness, beginning with the history and development of sports medicine at all levels and the evolving models currently being established. In addition to the athletes it will address the personal health and wellness of those nonathletes such as administrators and health care providers involved with athletic programs. Included in the course will be the administration and roles of members of the healthcare team. An overview of the history of sports medicine and the interaction of various health care systems in the U.S. with athletic entities will be discussed. Health and wellness priorities within the construct of an athletic department, team or program will be introduced on such topics as concussion, catastrophic injury, emergency action plans, supplement and drug usage, drug appeals & therapeutic use exemptions, mental health best practices, sexual violence, mind-body interactions in sports & injuries, strength & conditioning and sports performance, impact of select sports in society, families and the health & wellness of athletes, sleep, rest & recovery, health services in large sporting venues & national events and insurance and disability.

Scores are real averages. The order also accounts for how many records back each one — the count is under every score — so one perfect review does not outrank a semester of them.

How this board is orderedPositions 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. The comparison here is the class itself: a thin record is read against how this class was rated overall, not against the university.

Every instructor with an evaluation record for this class is on this board — it is not a top ten, and nothing is hidden behind a “show more”. Overall is the instructor's blended score for THIS class only, and its one contributing source is Boston College's evaluations for the sections in the row's record count — nothing on this board is an average across the other things they teach. Workload and Challenge are RANKS against every class we hold, not scores: BC's questions all sit near the top of the 1-5 scale, so a raw number would put almost every row in the high eighties and tell you nothing. Challenge is BC's “intellectually challenging” item, which students answer positively about courses that stretched them — it is not a measure of difficulty or grading. Neither column is ever marked better or worse.

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.
