Capstone: The Courage to Becoming · 1 instructor on record · 5 sections
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 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.
Capstone Seniors only. classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. The title of the Cornerstone elective The Courage to Know implies it requires courage to be an educated person. Wisdom evolves from having courage to set aside previous ways of being, seeing, and knowing, in order to incorporate new and previously unexplored understandings of the world around us. As a first-year student at BC, you courageously set out to know yourself in new ways while transitioning into college. Now, as seniors transitioning out of college, how has that early experience of CTK and your experience of Jesuit education combined to give you the Courage to Be . . .Be Attentive, Be Intelligent, Be Responsible, Be Reasonable, and Be Loving as you move from undergraduate life at BC into professional life beyond Chestnut Hill? Restricted to students who took Courage to Know in their first year.If seats are not filled, students from other sections of CTK in either of those semesters will be considered for overrides. Email Dr. Bracher renicke@bc.edu to ask to be enrolled in this course.

The line
All 13 items · means across 5 recordsBar 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.
