    I teach statistics to social science students, so it is something a lot of students worry about. What I usually say is that our passing rate is comparable to other courses. Therefore, if you study diligently, you have a good chance of passing.
    Furthermore, I’ve met a lot of students who failed who admit that they only started putting effort in it in the 5th week of the course. Starting on time really helps.
