student3311 and hazelorb are right, there really are professors like this.

listen, drop the class, don’t worry about the W…it’s not like your transcript has a ton of them - shoebox in right that too many W’s are bad, but you’re in a different situation than most because you’re in a vccs institution…if in the future you decide to go in under guaranteed admissions, you will not be able to if any of your courses are under a C.

there is no doubt that uva will be harder - i’ve been in the community college system for two years now and in all honesty the classes are a joke - i remember high school being harder than these classes - but because of this i try to go beyond the requirements for the course, if it’s a literature one, instead of reading an assigned chapter i’ll check out the book at the library and read the entire thing, then write an essay on it when only a paragraph is required, i do this because im already very scared about uva and want to soften the blow when i get there - not saying you should go this route, but consider that shoebox is right again in that if you cant handle this bio class, then that might be a sign…but maybe the professor really is a bad one…you know this better than us.
