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.

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.

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.
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

2 courses list LIN251H1 as a prerequisite

The other 1 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names LIN251H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what LIN251H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
