Boston College course evaluations · every published number, ranked class by class

Positions account for how many records stand behind each number, so one perfect review does not outrank a semester of them. Every score shown is the real average — only the ordering is adjusted.

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
79thMore challenging than 79% of BC classesranked against every one we hold
95BC — “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
BC — “Workload”2 records — does not contribute

Boston College's workload question was not reported in these records, so there is nothing to show. That is missing data, not a light class.

This course may be used to satisfy one of four elective courses required within the Communication major. This course offers a comprehensive study of the practice of interviewing in a variety of formats and from both sides of the equation. Students will analyze and discuss historically significant interviews, learn and practice interviewing techniques, and study and implement strategies to be a better interviewees. By understanding both how to conduct a successful interview and how to give compelling answers when being interviewed, students will obtain a thorough understanding of how to successfully use interviews as a method of communication and form of content creation. Throughout the course, students will apply the concepts, theories, and techniques discussed by conducting professional-style interviews in multiple formats (audio and video), allowing them to fully synthesize the material and become more effective communicators, whether on-mic or not.

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. 1 of 13 questions were not reported and are left out rather than shown as zero.

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.
