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

93rdMore challenging than 93% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

99BC — “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

78thMore work than 78% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

60BC — “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.

An elective built to explore legal questions and challenges faced by entrepreneurs and those supporting the success of entrepreneurs. Structured as an experiential and collaborative course, students will have the opportunity to explore legal issues presented throughout a company lifestyle. Starting with the inception of an idea, students will survey the considerations and processes required for forming an entity, protecting intellectual property, structuring incentive compensation for founders and employees, drafting agreements for service providers, vendors and customers, and preparing for an investment round. With the assistance of guest speakers and evaluation of case studies, students will have the chance to inquire about and access industry-specific considerations. The final project will consist of a mock conversation with interested investors, requiring the delivery of due diligence of the company, a snapshot of the companies pre- and post-round capitalization, and a presentation of the expected use for the financing. Final assessment will place heavy weight on class participation and group work.

There is no ranking to read here: Emily Kaiser is the only instructor with evaluation records for BSLW 2604, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 2 records, which is thin — read it as provisional.

9568th 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.
