What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20263 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.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 3 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 3.

What this opens up
76 courses list STA288H1 as a prerequisiteShowing 24 of the 31 that have a page here. The other 45 have no page yet.
