PHIL 2261
Telling Truths I: Writing for the Cause of Justice · 1 instructor on record · 1 section
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.
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.
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 PULSE elective will explore writing as a tool for social change. Students will read and experiment with a variety of written forms memoir, creative non-fiction, opinion and essay to tell the truth as they experience it in their own encounters with social injustice. This workshop is intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to the range of strategies that social prophets and witnesses have used, and are using today, to promote the cause of justice. As a course in the PULSE program, service is required for this course. Satisfies the following distribution requirement(s) for Philosophy: Ethics & Values.

There is no ranking to read here: Alexis Rizzuto is the only instructor with evaluation records for PHIL 2261, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 1 record, which is thin — read it as provisional.

The line
All 13 items · means across 1 recordBar 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. 1 of 13 questions were not reported and are left out rather than shown as zero.

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.
