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.

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 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.

What this opens up

16 courses list PHY250H1 as a prerequisite

The other 7 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names PHY250H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what PHY250H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.

You’ve read the average. Now use it.

Add PHY250H1 and Pyko tracks what you've earned against your own grading scheme.
