Tips for success.

Attend lectures and labs regularly

Statistics is not easy, but is fun. Put quite a lot effort in your
learning process.
Spend some time per week regularly to practice MML
Attempt each assigned homework before the next class meeting
Start getting ready for your first partial in October from the very
beginning. If you pass it with a good mark your probability of
completing the exam in the first exam session increases
significantly.

Do not postpone the exam in Statistics: the more you wait the
worse the chances of passing it. Of course you must have passed
Mathematics beforehand.
