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

60thMore challenging than 60% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

92BC — “Intellectually Challenging”6 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

43rdMore work than 43% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

53BC — “Workload”6 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.

To provide students with an understanding of the core security principles required to plan and provide a safe and secure environment for fans, event staff, and players. Students will learn the skills necessary to identify a wide variety of risks facing sporting events and sports venues. This includes how to mitigate those risks, develop emergency action plans and critical incident response protocols, and how to respond to a crisis in conjunction with state, local, and federal partners. Students will also learn how to develop and implement security plans for domestic and international sporting events, understand security principles involved in the daily operation of sports venues, and how to train staff and conduct training exercises for security colleagues.

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.

9260th pctl

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

798th 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.
