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

69thMore challenging than 69% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

93BC — “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

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

60BC — “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 provides an introduction to the construction and use of languages, focusing on language structure (morphology, phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics), language use (discourse, pragmatics, and language variation), applied linguistics (L1 and L2), and English grammar. Students learn English as compared with other languages, exploring the grammatical categories and processes. A wide range of essential topics are covered in the course, including grammar, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistic pragmatics (ex. body language), dialects, and computational linguistics. This course provides a solid foundation for future and current TESOL educators, language teachers, language learners, as well as those pursuing advanced linguistics courses. There is no prerequisite or assumption of previous knowledge of linguistics for this course.

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.
