Is it really bad to have another W on your transcript?

<p>I am a sophomore in a University and I have a GPA of 3.4. When I was a freshmen I was a Biology major and I had to take a general studies course and I took Psychology but I Withdrew that course because I had a really creepy professor who didn't teach and I failed every test and I didn't want my GPA to be messed up. So I have one W and now I am taking 18 credits and I started as a Biology major. I honestly never liked Biology and just didn't it because of my family and all that pressure but I finally talked to them and I am planning to do Computer Science. However, I am in a Biology and Chemistry with a few other classes. In Biology I have this really nasty professor who picks on me for no reason and she "hates me" because there is a lot of incidents between us. For example, during one of out labs my partner and I had the same data because it was a lab and she said why did I copy him when I didn't and then she said if he jumped of a bridge would you. That didn't bother me. Its just she always does it. But my main thing is that I failed her test and got a 40 because she cant teach to save her life and shes a doctor ( No Offense) . I have failed her and she said she drops the lowest test so I am waiting if I pass the next test if I should withdraw or not. I really hate this class and it isn't my major. I do not know if I should W it because I already have one and I don't want to many. Ill go down to 14 credits but I rather not get and F. I don't know what to do because I dont want to fail. I have studied really hard and I still don't know how I failed and shes just ridiculous. Should I withdraw or not?
And I just got an email saying I will receive a poor grade or fail this course?</p>

<p>You come off as a little entitled…no offense. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that these teachers aren’t great. After all, it doesn’t matter how intelligent or accomplished you are if you aren’t able to break down complex concepts and teach them to students in a way that they can understand. Many professors fit this mold. </p>

<p>Anyway…in college, having a “bad” professor isn’t an excuse to do poorly. At the end of the day, you have to be proactive and take advantage of your resources. Biology is still biology. If you find yourself having difficulty learning in class, consider pursuing tutoring, office hours, study sessions(if your school offers them), re-listen to lectures, read the book, youtube ect…</p>

<p>I know that the question was aimed toward whether or not you should withdraw, but I felt that you needed some advice on your approach.</p>

<p>Just withdraw. Even if you scrounge up a D, you probably won’t be able to transition to classes past this one, and if you don’t, you won’t get credit <em>and</em> your GPA will take a hit. 14 credit hours isn’t even <em>that</em> bad.</p>

<p>Own up to your own failures.</p>

<p>No one cares about W’s unless you have an alarming amount of them. Withdraw and change your attitude.</p>
