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

11thMore challenging than 11% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

82BC — “Intellectually Challenging”1 record · 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”1 record · 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 in the Communication major. This course introduces, examines, and practices different forms of sports broadcasting and media. It ranges from reporting to hosting and anchoring, to play-by-play and analysis, as well as debate programming in both linear and non-linear formats. Drawing on the instructor's expertise in covering professional sports, the course aims to deconstruct the nuances of managing relationships with star athletes, navigating access in relation to the ideals of independent journalism, dealing with promotional and/or commercial pressures, and the impact of hot-take theater on driving the national sports landscape. Several notable guest speakers will stop by to share their experiences in the field, and there will be coordination with the BC Athletic Department to experience live event coverage

9254th 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.
