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

5thMore challenging than 5% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

78BC — “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

25thMore work than 25% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

40BC — “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 is a year-long course aimed at understanding the mental health counseling concerns of people who live in urban settings. In 2020 80% of the United States population lived within urban areas (U.S. Census, 2020). Given increasing urbanization across the globe, some research projects that by 2050 two thirds of the global population will live in urban areas. As such it is imperative for mental health counselors to understand the unique circumstances of urban life and how they impact lifespan development and mental wellbeing. This course will use the lenses of ecological, decolonial and liberation psychology theory to critically examine sources of mental distress, mental wellness as well as counseling approaches used to enhance the lives of urban dwellers. Lecture, reflective writing practices, and group discussions emphasizing critical consciousness will be used to foster learning. Moreover, students will engage in collaborative group work to learn the role of social justice advocacy in addressing structural problems impacting mental health outcomes.

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.
