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

11thMore challenging than 11% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

81BC — “Intellectually Challenging”4 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

25thMore work than 25% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

40BC — “Workload”4 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.

The course examines decision making, one of the most prolific and consequential activities undertaken by managers, to improve students skills in exercising choice. It begins by exploring the psychology of judgment. The hidden brain, or subconscious biases and heuristics hard-wired into human cognitive processes, are examined along with pressures arising from group and broader social forces. Through hands-on exercises and case analyses, students will learn how and why decision making often goes awry, and strategies for avoiding prevalent traps. The course will also examine choice architecture. Students will learn and apply management tools and techniques that facilitate effective design of decision processes. The course is particularly apt for those seeking to enhance their decision skills and arrive at better outcomes, both personal and organizational.

8934th 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.
