What people actually got
Last observed Fall 20264 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.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 4 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 4.

What this opens up
21 courses list ECO105Y1 as a prerequisiteThe other 11 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names ECO105Y1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what ECO105Y1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
