What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20262 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.
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
18 courses list POL224H1 as a prerequisiteThe other 13 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names POL224H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what POL224H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
