I agree. DiffEq, in no way, is easy, or even not hard (I think there’s a scale of toughness for a class roll through < easy < not hard < hard < ridiculous < ECE 309). I’ve seen brilliant e-schoolers suffer through the course. So, one lecture is in no way going to prepare you for UVA. It’s good that you are preparing in some way, but it’s still going to be a shock. There’s no way you can withdraw from two classes just because the teacher sucks, unless you do it before the drop deadline.
Personally, I wouldn’t drop the class. Instead, I’d bug the hell out of the dean to get a class grade distribution chart for the teacher and send it off to UVA. If the class really is how you described it as, you’ll be fine, UVA will see that you pretty much got the highest grade in the class.
