The chemistry of benzene, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid, esters, acid chlorides, amides and amines will be covered. As well, electrophilic aromatic substitution, protection and deprotection of alcohols, nucleophilic acyl substitution, nucleophilic addition, carbonyl alpha-substitution reaction, keto-enol tautomerism, carbonyl condensation and amines will be introduced.

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 Winter 2023. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.

This rests on 1 reported term. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.

Where the marks come from

2025 syllabus
Final Exam · 40%Labs (10 equally weighted) · 20%Term Test 1 · 20%Term Test 2 · 20%

40% of the grade is decided in the final alone. Steady coursework cannot carry this course on its own.

Extracted from a published 2025 syllabus by deterministic parser. Components that could not be labelled are shown unresolved rather than folded into a neighbouring category.

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.

What we don’t have yet

A current averageThe newest verified observation is from Winter 2023. Later terms have no confirmed result yet.
Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 1 observations across terms would be false precision.
Instructor-level detailAverages are not split by instructor. At these sample sizes the difference between sections is noise, not signal.

What this opens up

8 courses list CHM243H5 as a prerequisite

The other 3 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names CHM243H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CHM243H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
