<p>I’m having a really hard time in this honors abstract algebra 2 class that I am taking. It was my only B in the first semester (class average was 2.5 according to my transcript), and I got A’s an A+'s in the rest of my classes. I took a vacation for the first week and a half of this semester, and it turned out to be a really bad idea. I quickly got caught up in my other honors math class because the professor is great and we have a textbook, but this professor is plowing through the notes at an alarming speed and I can’t seem to get caught up because we have no textbook and his notes are too poor to self-teach from. I am confident that if I just withdraw and be done with it I can get A’s or even mostly A+'s in my other four classes. I am applying for transfer to some pretty high ranking colleges though, and I am worried how they will view a “withdrew with permission”.</p>
<p>Also, should I get my transcripts sent out before or after I get permission to withdraw? Technically I could send them out right now without a W, but I’m not sure that it would be the right move.</p>
