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

76thMore challenging than 76% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

95BC — “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

93rdMore work than 93% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

80BC — “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.

The dominant approaches to education are narrow, instrumental, and fragmented. Thinking is separated from doing/making and then reduced to a narrow set of skills. Aspects of our humanity beyond the intellectual are trivialized if not entirely ignored. Study is driven not by the felt need to understand self and world, but simply in order to climb the credentialing ladder. To challenge this attenuated vision of education, we will turn to texts that offer a more capacious vision of self-cultivation and restore questions of meaning and value to the center of the educational conversation. Topics include: moral and civic education, aesthetic and spiritual awakening, education for understanding and self-knowledge, and formative education as the search for meaning and purpose.

There is no ranking to read here: Christopher Higgins is the only instructor with evaluation records for FORM 7200, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 1 record, which is thin — read it as provisional.

9887th 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.
