It shouldn't be hard to pass this course if you follow along and do the work week to week. Any course where you fail for doing the required work day to day is a very poorly designed course. That said, if you aren't doing an internship this summer, consider practicing DS&A for practice. It can be lonely. If you are starting from zero, doing some online free/cheap courses and being very disciplined can help. I would also recommend doing a personal project the whole summer that you launch publicly.
