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

2ndMore challenging than 2% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

73BC — “Intellectually Challenging”2 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

0thMore work than 0% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

20BC — “Workload”2 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.

This course is designed to expand technique on pointe. However, students without pointe experience prior to the course are welcome to take the class on flat shoes and may go on pointe during the warm up at the barre. The course aims for all students to expand on technique, increase artistic expression, and build knowledge of ballet terms. The class structure is divided into three parts: the first part of the class includes warming up on the barre, such as roll-ups and sous-suss. Some foundational steps, such as echappe and pas de bourree are introduced. The second part of the class, which takes place in the center, is dedicated to building strength and maintaining the alignment of the foundational positions. The last part of the class focuses on learning the choreography of ballet repertoires to develop artistic expression as a performer. Prior experience en pointe ispreferred. Students with no pointe experience may be permitted to take the course after talking to the instructor. Students must provide their own pointe shoes and have them on the first day of class.

There is no ranking to read here: Amane Takaishi is the only instructor with evaluation records for THTR 1122, so the number is a record, not a position. It rests on 2 records, which is thin — read it as provisional. The RateMyProfessors figure is their overall score across everything they teach, not their score in this class.

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.
