Boston College course evaluations · every published number, ranked class by class

Positions account for how many records stand behind each number, so one perfect review does not outrank a semester of them. Every score shown is the real average — only the ordering is adjusted.

What the course score is made of
BC evaluations1 record — does not contribute
Student reviewsno reviews — does not contribute
RateMyProfessorsno ratings — does not contribute

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
BC — “Intellectually Challenging”1 record — does not contribute

Boston College's “intellectually challenging” question was not reported in these records, so there is nothing to show. That is missing data, not an easy class.

What the workload rank is made of
BC — “Workload”1 record — does not contribute

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.

The environmental sociology workshop is a bi-weekly, two-semester workshop facilitated by faculty in which students meet, discuss, and present their work and occasionally read recent articles or books in the field. Students interested in completing a thesis, area exam, or dissertation in environmental sociology are expected to participate. SOCY7779 is a one-credit course suitable for PhD students beyond coursework, who can register for SOCY7779 in lieu of Doctoral Continuation. For the three-credit version, see SOCY7780.

Juliet SchorProfessor · Sociology Provisional1 record

There is no ranking to read here: Juliet Schor is the only instructor with evaluation records for SOCY 7779, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 1 record, which is thin — read it as provisional.

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.
