That’s the nature of the beast. You need to use the tools given to you (i.e. your professor, syllabus, current students) to make a decision whether you need to keep the class or drop it. If you drop the class, and really it wasn’t that hard and you could’ve kept it, that’s shouldn’t be anything to worry about…because you would never know.

<p>Watch the deadlines, how fast the course moves through the materials, the grading policies, all of that jazz and see if one class isn’t really fitting in that you don’t feel is worth the hassle. If you don’t find one class that does that, keep your schedule. </p>
