From the calendar

Official source · Faculty of Arts & Science

One of the goals of modern biology is to understand how the basic building blocks of life give rise to biological form and function. This course provides students with a common lexicon to understand the key principles and concepts in molecular and cell biology, with a focus on how the building blocks of life lead to functioning cells. (Lab Materials Fee: approximately $11). Lab coat and safety glasses are required for use in laboratories; students are responsible for purchasing these items (approximate cost is $27).

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. 6 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 6.

Counts, not a library. Pyko does not host or distribute course files, and this page is not an offer to supply one — the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed, which matters most where no syllabus has been verified.

What this opens up

21 courses list BIO130H1 as a prerequisite

The other 8 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names BIO130H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what BIO130H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
