ECON 2713
Global Horizons beyond Boston College: Integrating Ethics, Economics, and the Common Good · 1 instructor on record · 2 sections
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.
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.
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 seminar is ideal for seniors in the Economics and International Studies programs, aiming to apply their accumulated academic knowledge and their Boston College experience in a complex global context. "Global Horizons" invites students to explore the intricate interplay between global economic systems and ethical considerations, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates insights from environmental science, public policy, sociology, psychology, and more. The course will emphasize the Common Good, social well-being and the pursuit of a just society.Throughout the course, students will engage with advanced economic theories and models, applying them to analyze and propose solutions to pressing global issues such as international trade, labor practices, and sustainable development. The course challenges students to consider the ethical dimensions of economic policies and practices, connecting their entire academic journey to Boston Colleges commitment to moral discernment and the Common Good, one last time before they graduate and start to make their own mark in the world beyond The Heights.

There is no ranking to read here: Can Erbil is the only instructor with evaluation records for ECON 2713, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 2 records, which is thin — read it as provisional. The RateMyProfessors figure is their overall score across everything they teach, not their score in this class.

All of themThe line
All 13 items · means across 2 recordsBar 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.
Game log
2 sections · newest firstHow 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.
