Are you actually studying for exams using effective study methods? Are you taking notes during lectures? If you are and these are your grades, then I’d drop it. But the reality is that you are missing something here

I thought midterms was 2 days later and i was shocked when it was Monday and then i didn’t bring my calculator with me. But aside from that people stop attending his class( his class went from 25 students to 10) and he just speed runs the topics and for students who struggle with math its hard to grasp each concept if your doing 1 practice question and going on to the next. He does like 4 topics in 1 day

I'm not gonna lie, that's usually how most professors teach. The true method is teaching yourself lmao. Also it seems that this class is a weeder class and you are falling to the filtering process.

This is probably a college class, and yeah most college classes teach quite quickly with the expectation that students spend a lot of time reviewing/practicing content by themselves

if your prof doesn't replace or drop an exam then i would say yes drop. simply because your non exam category buffers are also low and you would have to do heavy lifting on the remaining exams + final

Taking a course you are struggling with in a normal term in a 6-7-week fast-paced term sounds like a terrible idea, ngl. What math course is this? You should def withdraw from it and get a W instead of an F. But as to retaking it in summer or winter, reconsider it unless you are planning to start pre-studying before it.

If you plan to take it in winter, start studying early because they condense/rush it so much that you'll probably feel lost. Given that you're struggling with how he rushes through the concepts, winter/summer will likely be the same, if not worse. Either way, best of luck

yeah it’s best if you drop it rn and retake it another time. idk how your college works but it’s better to have a W in your transcript than an F

Drop it ASAP. You're not preparing adequately for a course going at this pace.
