From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceCan we speak of “international relations” before the modern concept of nation-states was established? What forms did globalization take in the pre-modern era? How did early global exchange shape our world today? Students in this course study interactions among peoples, empires, and cultures, in multiple regions of the world (specific areas and time periods will change depending on the professors teaching in any given year).

Analysis of primary sources and intensive focus on becoming strong writers.

What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20232 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 2023. 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.

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 this opens up
3 courses list HIS102Y1 as a prerequisiteThe other 2 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names HIS102Y1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what HIS102Y1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
