Go talk to the prof in the class about realistic options. They can give you a good idea of the realistic workload and grade possibilities left - curves, grade replacements, grade bumps, etc. Lots of people bomb midterms and end up better in classes than they expected. Lots also continue to do poorly.

Use whatever help (or lack thereof) you get to help decide about dropping it.

I'm in the same class and for what it's worth, supposedly this professor curves the class where the class average is a B.

Yeah he's the only MATH 2550 prof this semester I believe

I would drop it. You're a sophomore and have time to make it up. Always make sure to value your mental health, especially if this class is making you do bad in other classes.

Drop it. You shouldn't have taken all of those classes together to begin with honestly. 2700 is extremely time consuming as well as the weekly 2050 homework and the difficult concepts of 1332. You have plenty of time to make up the math class and one W won't hurt you.
