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.

Syllabi

Both a midterm and a final appear in what we hold, so this course has historically been assessed on both rather than on a single end-of-term paper.

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 we don’t have yet

Assessment weightingNo syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this offering. Contribute yours and the breakdown appears here.
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.

What this opens up

6 courses list STA314H1 as a prerequisite

The other 3 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names STA314H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what STA314H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
