I’m pretty convinced that if you just show up to class, be nice to the prof, and do all of the assignments you’ll get a mercy C or D regardless of how you performed.
I’ve never tried this (finished with a 3.9) but observed my friends.
Some would do the above and miraculously pass courses they, according to exam scores, were certain to fail.
However, my friends who had poor exam score and spotty attendance never made it through. In fact, sometimes they were so convinced they’d fail that the dropped the course or no-showed the exam — so they did in fact fail.
Hard work, maybe — simply trying is easy. But more than that, persistence.
