Yep. Speak with your prof. and see if there is anything you can do. Is this an accelerated Summer course? Is this a building block course for additional classes?

I am not one to tell people to quit, but you may need to drop this one. You could eventually get it together, but with three failing quizzes and a mounting workload, you may be in a hole that would be hard to get out of by the end of the term. If this is an accelerated summer class, then you would really need to get out while you can.

I believe you are probably right, and the prof should be able to tell him if there is no hope.

Yep. In my experience, instructors have a good grip on whether or not you're going to be able to make up lost ground.

I gave birth to my son during a term of grad school, and because of that, missed three classes in each section I was enrolled in, and felt I had too much on my plate to continue. Left to my own devices, I would probably have done a withdrawal and come back another term. But my professors looked at the amount I'd needed to miss, what they knew of my work ethic and study skills, worked with me on getting caught up, and were firmly convinced that I could still get the grades I wanted, and I did. It's worth getting their perspective on where you're at.

I dropped it need to keep good grades to get into a nursing program. Should of known wouldn't work out years ago took an online math class and failed horribly. Took it the following semester aced it, 4.0. Online philosophy/psychology classes can do. However, math and science can't online ha.

dont know it is failing though, if it is graded on a curve and everyone is doing equally poor

but op said he dropped it, so not much to do. maybe audit/sit in on the class next term, maybe he might get better at it before he takes it again. many profs here dont mind people sitting in on a class or two if they explain themselves well and dont cause a distruption
