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

64thMore challenging than 64% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

93BC — “Intellectually Challenging”3 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”3 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 may be used to satisfy one of four electives required within the Communication major.This course will interrogate the rhetoric and aesthetics of fascism as a system of governmentality and as a mentality, both of which are characterized by a desire for dictatorial control, the forcible suppression of opposing positions and perspectives, and a preoccupation with rigidly defined hierarchies of power and privilege. We will survey the origins of fascism in the 20th century Europe, as embodied in political leaders such as Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin, with particular focus on the ways in facist ideology was disseminated and absorbed through the production and consumption of popular culture. We will then turn to contemporary manifestations of neo-fascsim, including the recent rise of ethno-nationalist groups in America

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.
