What people actually got
Last observed Fall 20221 term 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.
The newest observation is from Fall 2022. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
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.
Where the marks come from
2023 syllabusExtracted from a published 2023 syllabus by deterministic parser. Components that could not be labelled are shown unresolved rather than folded into a neighbouring category.
