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.

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.

Course conducted in Spanish and fulfills the Post-1800 Peninsular requirement for Hispanic Studies majors.This course examines the literary and visual representation of race as the concept has evolved in Spain from the nineteenth century through the present. We focus particularly on how Spain's history of colonialism and contemporary waves of immigration from Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa have shaped Spanish discourses on race, such as the construction of a Spanish "race" and depictions of the racial Otherness of colonized people abroad and immigrant populations within Spain. Finally, this course amplifies the voices of those who have been subject to cultural stereotyping, orientalism, and racism throughout Spanish history from the 1800s onwards.

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.
