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.

What we don’t have yet

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.
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

13 courses list ERS201H5 as a prerequisite

The other 12 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names ERS201H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what ERS201H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.

You’ve read the average. Now use it.

Add ERS201H5 and the Fall 2026 weighting loads with it — Pyko tracks what you've earned and solves for what the final has to be.
