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

25thMore challenging than 25% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

86BC — “Intellectually Challenging”4 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

25thMore work than 25% of BC classesranked against every one we hold

40BC — “Workload”4 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.

Seniors only. Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation.Most college students in their early 20s feel neither fully adult nor fully competent in the tasks, responsibilities, and behaviors that are traditionally associated with grown-up life. In this class, students will take stock of their journey to adulthood so far and look ahead to what relationships, work, citizenship, and spirituality might look like in post-college life. Readings on the developmental psychology of young adulthood will be paired with popular media, exercises, and reflective writing to help students progress in their own "adulting" as they prepare to negotiate the transition out of college.

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.
