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 Fall 2022. 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.

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, which matters most where no syllabus has been verified.

What we don’t have yet

Assessment weightingNo syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this offering. Contribute yours and the breakdown appears here.
A current averageThe newest verified observation is from Fall 2022. Later terms have no confirmed result yet.
Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 2 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.
