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

55thMore challenging than 55% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

91BC — “Intellectually Challenging”2 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

85thMore work than 85% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

70BC — “Workload”2 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 will deconstruct the multi-billion dollar NFL enterprise and examine the key players involved in forging and fueling this cultural phenomenon. Students will analyze and discuss a variety of current topics and events all within the context of the back-and-forth, give-and-take, tug-of-war dynamic between NFL players, teams, agents, coaches, media, brand partners, and front-office personnel. Students will also examine the impact of recent league initiatives designed to foster meaningful change in the areas of DEI and social justice and reform. Students will examine through a comprehensive, transparent, and nuanced perspective the inner workings of the NFL community while developing transferable skills that will empower and equip students to explore career and community service opportunities at all levels of professional football.

8727th 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.
