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.

What the course score is made of
—BC evaluations1 record — does not contribute
—Student reviewsno reviews — does not contribute
—RateMyProfessorsno ratings — does not contribute

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
—BC — “Intellectually Challenging”1 record — does not contribute

Boston College's “intellectually challenging” question was not reported in these records, so there is nothing to show. That is missing data, not an easy class.

What the workload rank is made of
—BC — “Workload”1 record — does not contribute

Boston College's workload question was not reported in these records, so there is nothing to show. That is missing data, not a light class.

This clinic provides students and faculty an opportunity to weigh in on, and attempt to influence, the development of the law and public policy in the courts. This clinic experience is ad-hoc and students may sign up as briefing opportunities become available. The clinic does not span the length of a semester, but students commit at least 85 hours of work to complete the required briefing and earn 2 credits. If, after the completion of briefing, a student has worked fewer than 85 hours, the student will earn 1 hour of credit.

There is no ranking to read here: Thomas Carey is the only instructor with evaluation records for LAWS 3423, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 1 record, which is thin — read it as provisional.

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.
