What people actually got
Last observed Summer 20233 terms observed
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.
The newest observation is from Summer 2023. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 3 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 3.
Where the marks come from
2025 syllabusExtracted from a published 2025 syllabus by deterministic parser. Components that could not be labelled are shown unresolved rather than folded into a neighbouring category.

What this opens up
16 courses list CHM220H1 as a prerequisiteThe other 7 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names CHM220H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CHM220H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
