Already feeling overwhelmed with a class?

Normally I’m an A student, and the lowest I’ve ever made is a B is a math and and my intro to Chem class. I understand it is ok to get a c or a b in a hard class and I’m fine with that but this is the first class where I’m actaully worrying if I will pass or not. The class is Chem I, I don’t have a very strong chem background. I’m trying to do everything I should reading the book, working practice problems l, and I’ve went to a tutoring session but after reading the latest chapter in my book I am overwhelmed. Some stuff I’ve never even heard of before and it looks really hard. I get frustrated in lecture becuse my professor just clicks through slides instead of explaining them, not to mention his lectures consist of about 180 sildes. When I went to my tutoring session I wasn’t that impressed, the girl helping me couldn’t figure out some of the practice problems I had and if she coulld she didn’t explain them very well. Today I went to the lab for the class and got even more overwhelmed, it’s a lot busier than bio lab and the TAs explain nothing to you and the grading is a lot stricter. I swear I’ve never had more thoughts about dropping a class than I have now.
