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

9thMore challenging than 9% 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

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.

Climate change, driven by human activities like carbon emissions and deforestation, disproportionately impacts marginalized groups and international communities, raising crucial issues of climate justice. This course centers on integrating social justice into climate change and broader environmental discussions, examining the unequal distribution of environmental hazards and ethical questions of responsibility and justice. Emphasizing the intersectionality of climate justice, students will explore how race, class, gender, and other social factors intersect to exacerbate environmental inequalities. This course encourages critical engagement with and personal reflection, covering topics, such as the science behind climate change, the roles that social, political, and economic conditions play in understanding climate justice, and the different sociological insights and understandings of climate and environmental justice.

Intellectually ChallengingThe course was intellectually challenging.

819th pctl

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

8214th 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.
