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. 3 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 3.

45% of the grade is decided in the final alone. Steady coursework cannot carry this course on its own.

Extracted from a published 2025 syllabus and reviewed against the source document. Components that could not be labelled are shown unresolved rather than folded into a neighbouring category.

What we don’t have yet

Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 3 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

61 courses list POL222H1 as a prerequisite

Showing 24 of the 26 that have a page here. The other 35 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names POL222H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what POL222H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
