This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 10 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 10.

What this opens up
31 courses list BIO120H1 as a prerequisiteThe other 10 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names BIO120H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what BIO120H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
