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.
