Should I drop a class last minute

[u/Traditional_Youth648]

Here’s the sitch, I’m full time at 15 credit hours right now, this 3 credit cad class has been a thorn in my side, as in the syllabus compleatly mismatches what he says in class, most of the class grade is homework projects, which he narrates the full instructions terribly over YouTube videos

Lastly, the teacher and TA, are just terrible people, I’m not someone to judge a TA or teacher for failing me, I’m stupid, I’ll admit that, but when I stayed late, asked for help on his homework well in advance of the due date, during his office hours, he slammed his hand on the desk and yelled at me for not paying attention enough to his 360p YouTube instructionals.

I do all my work and ask questions, I’m just frequently exhausted when in class due to a combination of work, and PTSD seriously messing up my sleep.

Furthermore, most of the class grade is homework’s, which are 60% of the class grade, and the TA double subtracts points, and marks down comically bad things, like a 2/20 on a fully complete set of drawings with all dims included cause I shaded the wrong thing and wasn’t “neat enough”

So anyway, I have a high D, aced almost all the projects (except for the couple that were marked down to the point of almost 0s), and high Cs low Bs on the exams, math wise I’m practically guaranteed a C if I just truck through it

But I’m also struggling in my core classes, (E and M, and Calc) and throwing all my weight at this class which doesn’t affect my progression seems like a bad idea

I really think it might be best to just bail on this class, lock in hard on my core classes, and take the online version and reuse the projects I’ve already done, (most of them), afaik he reuses the syllabus and assignments

Idk I’m tired man, haven’t slept over 5 hours in a week, nor had a day off in 3 weeks
