n = 4student contributedSt. George offerings only

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. 4 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 4.

Where the marks come from

2025 syllabus
TBA (during exam period) · 40%Unresolved component · 20%• Test 2 · 20%• Test 1 · 20%

Extracted from a published 2025 syllabus by deterministic parser. 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 4 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

13 courses list PSY260H1 as a prerequisite

The other 4 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names PSY260H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what PSY260H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.

You’ve read the average. Now use it.

Add PSY260H1 and the 2025 weighting loads with it — Pyko tracks what you've earned and solves for what the final has to be.
