What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20212 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 Winter 2021. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
This rests on 2 reported terms. 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

Both a midterm and a final appear in what we hold, so this course has historically been assessed on both rather than on a single end-of-term paper.
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 this opens up
23 courses list CSC263H5 as a prerequisiteThe other 8 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names CSC263H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CSC263H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
