UNAS 1739
Self, Health, and Illness: Biological Perspectives · 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 is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both SOCY1133 and UNAS1739. How does our biology and the larger society shape our understanding of ourselves, health, and illness? These paired courses address enduring questions about nature and nurture by exploring fundamental human experiences of health and illness from both biological and sociological perspectives. One aim is to examine the concept of self in relation to genomics, the microbiome, and society. Another aim is to critically appraise human difference from biological, social, and environmental perspectives. Using examples from biomedical discovery and precision healthcare, students will examine their values and discuss how we as a society can manage the ethical, legal, and societal implications of this rapidly changing healthcare landscape.

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.
