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

10thMore challenging than 10% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

81BC — “Intellectually Challenging”7 records · 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

27thMore work than 27% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

43BC — “Workload”7 records · 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.

Power and influence are crucial to understanding organizational dynamics, resolving conflict, navigating and promoting change, building cooperation, and developing professional skills in the workplace. The course aims to help students identify, diagnose, and analyze power as well as expose them to influence methods from an organizational, managerial, and professional skills perspective. The purpose of this course is to examine the different types of formal and personal power people use to influence others, explore ways power and influence are used for both good and bad, and develop students capabilities to create their own path to obtaining, managing, and sustaining power and influence.

8521st 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.
