RESULTS

The quality rankings are always on the lefthand side, the workload rankings on the right. As a result of the numbering system employed by the Registrar's Office, the best-quality and easiest-workload courses are at the top of their department's charts. The lowest-ranked and most difficult courses fall at the bottom of the charts. The gray bars running below each chart mark the space between 2 and 3, for reference. The average quality and workload for each school and department is also listed.
