Stats
Hi, I am interested in taking Stats 2D03 "Introduction to Probability" and I also would like to get high grade in it; however the questions come down to the actual nature of the course itself. I am wondering if one could easily get high grade in Stats 2D03 course if one put reasonable amount of effort in studying for this course just like what one would try and get high grade in any other courses in general?

Or is Stats 2D03 the course where even one put sound effort in studying for the course, one still eventually won't do good in the course as one would hope for, and is not on the basis of not studying hard enough for it, but it is more due to the nature of course that it was meant to be designed in such a way to make the tests intentionally extremely hard, tricky and challenging for the students?

You can do well in any course if you put the effort in. No such thing as a "hard" course or "impossible to get 12" course.

it's a second year course, man. you're still just learning facts from a fact book.
i can't believe people are asking if putting effort into a course and doing the work will result in good marks.
