Should I withdraw lab

[MyThought]

So my grade for bio lab 1 is not looking so good at this moment. The withdraw period is this friday, and I'm contemplating whether I should withdraw or not. There's significant improvement in my lecture grade. My lab grade is roughly around a C- borderline at this moment. Should I push through and do better on bio lab 2 next semester or should I withdraw, take bio lab 2 next semester and retake lab 1 in the summer? Or should I push through, get a crappy grade, take bio 2 next semester, then retake lab in the summer and do grade replacement. I am very confused as to what I should do and I need advice. Currently, I'm not worried about lecture grade because I show improvement. Lecture is 2 credits and lab is 2 credits at my college.
Please shed some light, I am not sure what to do in this situation. I never knew bio lab would be my struggle out of all my classes. My professor is pretty tough, and not very helpful.

Thanks

I try to listen in the lab and participate but it's hard with my lab partners as they are very controlling and do the experiments fast without efficiency. So we do the experiments and I hardly know what we are exactly doing. I find myself studying the night before for the weekly lab quiz and then I don't do very well on the quiz. By the way, lab and lecture are two separate grades so if i withdrew from lab I stay in lecture.

We still have a few more quizzes left(tomorrow is a quiz) another lab report to do, and the final practical which is 25% of grade.

Sometime its better to bite the bullet. But then again, if you will drop, you need to score better the second time around (B+ and higher). Make a descion that is based on your schedule, GPA, finances, and most importantly your intuition. Never take advice blatantly. 2 credits isn't much and won't drastically alter your GPA

how confident are you that you can perform well during lab retake during the summer? would it be the same professor and thus possible same situation?

also depends on how the rest of your classes and specifically science courses are shaping up. if it won't cause too big of a dip and your sGPA is otherwise solid, probably won't be too big of a deal since it's 2units. but keep in mind some schools don't consider C- passing.
