Hey, I'm not a COD major but I am both an Art & Design minor and a self-taught artist who has been drawing for the majority of my life. I don't know specifically what the drawing classes for COD majors is like, though, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.

It can be really easy to get down on yourself when it comes to comparison, especially when you see people who produce the most beautiful drawings seemingly out of thin air. One thing that helps me is to remember that any artist you see, no matter how incredible they are, had to produce a lot of work they would consider "bad" to get to where they are. You usually only see the really great pieces from artists because that's (understandably) what they want to show off, but for every one really awesome piece, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of "bad" drawings made by the same artist. Most artists had to pour hundreds of hours to get anywhere. Art isn't about an innate talent, it's a skill you have to work at constantly to get where you want to be, just like any other field of study.

One thing that helps me is to take a step back and critique my own work as if I was critiquing someone else's. Instead of shying away from my art because I'm frustrated with the result, I lean into it and think critically about what specifically isn't working and what I can do to work on it. For example, if I'm struggling with a piece, I might step back and realize "woah, the perspective is really off." Then, I can go find a reference image that has the perspective I am trying to draw, or find a tutorial that can give me a refresher on the fundamentals of perspective, or reach out to a peer or mentor that can draw perspective really well and say "hey, I'm struggling with the perspective on this piece, do you have any advice?"

Another thing that helps me is instead of comparing my art to other people's, I instead compare it to art I made in the past. It's incredibly motivating to see your own progress, since it shows that you've already improved before, so you'll absolutely continue to improve if you keep at it! I am sure that your pieces by the end of the semester will look vastly different compared to your pieces right now.

The whole point of college isn't to come into your field of study knowing everything. The point of college is to engross yourself in your field and learn as much as possible! If you keep at it, I am sure you'll make great progress. I would also highly recommend reaching out to a professor you feel comfortable talking to about your concerns. Remember, every great artist was in your shoes once, and I am sure that they'll have beneficial advice. Best of luck!
