Considering withdrawing from Complex Analysis

In summary, the speaker is a math major struggling in their Complex Analysis class. They studied for 3 hours for a quiz on topology of the complex plane and got a score of 40-50%. They are worried about their upcoming test and are considering dropping the class, but are unsure if a withdrawal would be better than a potential low grade for their graduate school application.

Hey everyone,

I'm a math major and I am having a lot of trouble in my Complex Analysis class right now. I studied for 3 hours today for our first quiz on topology of the complex plane and I got somewhere between 40-50%. I memorized all the definitions but screwed up drawing the regions. Our test is the next class. I need this class for applying to NucEng graduate school, but I'm worried I could get a C, D, or even an F. Would a W be better than a C or a D?

If you need the class, I don't see how a W helps.
