From the calendar

Official source · Faculty of Arts & Science

This course explores the relationship between justice, power, and interests in the works of prominent ancient, modern, and contemporary thinkers. It adopts a problem-driven approach and engages with current controversies in international relations in light of insights from classic books. Special attention is paid to the prospects of a just world order, the causes and justifications of war, the construction of images of citizens and enemies, and the nature of duties to outsiders.

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. 5 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 5.

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.

What we don’t have yet

Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 5 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.
