How is it graded?

Not yet verified

No syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this course.

How confident is this?

Low

A small number of terms, so read it as a range. The most recent observation is several years old.

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 2019. 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.

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 Winter 2019. 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.

Archive coveragePyko holds no past paper for this course. We do not host or distribute course files in any case; the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed.

What this opens up

5 courses list ECE159H1 as a prerequisite

ECE231H1Introductory Electronics

The other 4 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names ECE159H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what ECE159H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
