From the calendar
Official source · University of Toronto MississaugaIntroduction to the basic theory and practice underlying important techniques in analytical chemistry, chosen from three major areas of instrumental analysis: spectroscopy, electrochemistry and separation science. Specific topics will include fluorescence spectroscopy, atomic spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence, voltammetry, high resolution gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and a brief introduction to computer applications, including Fourier transform methods. A problem-based approach will be used to explore these methods in a wide variety of practical applications, which will include individualized student assignments.

What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20231 term 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 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

What this opens up
3 courses list CHM311H5 as a prerequisiteThe other 1 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names CHM311H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CHM311H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
