For the first time in my college career, I dropped a class halfway through a semester. I just couldn't take it - it was leagues above me and I was struggling to even comprehend what was happening.
You see, this semester I am/was taking General Chem 1, Calculus 1, Intro to programming (Java), and Calc based Physics 1.
The school says that the calc course and the physics course can be taken concurrently, but I disagree. For some people, they may be able to take them at the same time, but when I'm supposed to be using things in the physics class that I haven't even been taught yet in the calc class, something seems to be off kilter.
I got a 61% on my first exam, and struggle to even barely comprehend what goes on in lab. So, last night after trying unsuccessfully complete homework and study for a quiz, I decided it would be best for me to drop the class. Doing so gives me a W for the course, but I figure I can explain a W, but I couldn't explain an F.
I guess it just came to a point where I had to admit defeat and back out gracefully.
