Advice

Hey, I have kourosh for probs and stats and my first exam is coming soon. I heard so many bad reviews on him so I was wondering whether I should just skip both exams and ace the final by getting a 100. My goal is really to have the best grade possible but if his exams are worth 25% and most people fail, wouldn't it be better for me to just not take his exam at all and just study hard as fuck for the final since all teachers participate in its making?

I’d still go to the exams. Even if you fail, you still get some point, and if he has two exams worth 25%, that would mean the final can only be worth 50%, and you’d fail the course even if you got 100% on the exam.

Well the final is worth either 50% or 75%. If I motivate my absences and miss the two exams, the weight of those exams get redistributed to the final meaning I would only have 1 exam which is the final that will count for 100% of my grade. So if I get 100% in it, my final grade of the course would be 100%

Dude do not skip, you literally lose nothing by going there.. and yet you lose a lot by skipping
Never a good choice; skipping classes is one thing, but exams is crazy LOL
Plus, it will give you insight on how final exam might go since you will be somewhat familiar w it

Well I can make the final count for a 100%. Also to get an insight of how the final exam will be, I can do the past finals and I can ask my friends' teachers for their exams and practice doing them so I have an idea of the difficulty.
