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
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 aims to strengthen participants leadership for social justice. The readings, activities, discussions, and assignments explore how to promote learning opportunities for all students in PK-12 schools, particularly those traditionally marginalized. The class seeks to deepen and strengthen the degree to which educational leadership practices are informed by empirical and theoretical literature. The topics address multiple dimensions of diversity - including race, ethnicity, culture, language, gender, social class, sexual orientation, and disability and the intersectionality amongst these as they affect educators, students, and their families in todays schools and school systems. The course will also explore and interrogate anti-blackness and how anti-blackness negatively impacts students, teachers, schools, and communities.Throughout the course, participants will engage in critical reflection on their roles as educational leaders committed to pursuing social justice and supporting district-level policies and practices that promote educational equity and inclusion.

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.
