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

79thMore challenging than 79% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

95BC — “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

30thMore work than 30% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

47BC — “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.

Performance Course. This non-credit course consists of ten 50-minute private lessons on an instrument. Students must register through EagleApps during the regular registration period after their course schedule has been solidified. A list of instructors, their expertise, and their available times for lessons can be found on the Music Department website under Performance Studies > Private Lessons. Contact the instructor for approval to admit you into the class. If approved, the instructor will send your name and Eagle number to the Music Department administrator to register you for their section. There is an associated lab fee with this course. See the Music Department website for current fees and policies. Prerequisite: (Permission of Instructor).

There is no ranking to read here: Anna Wittstruck is the only instructor with evaluation records for MUSP 1980, so the number is a record, not a position. The RateMyProfessors figure is their overall score across everything they teach, not their score in this class.

WorkloadHow much work the course took outside class, on Boston College's five-band scale — the band boundaries are not published, so this is not a number of hours.

Intellectually ChallengingThe course was intellectually challenging.

9579th pctl

Attendance MattersAttending class was necessary to do well in this course.

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.
