Drop it.
I could go into a long explanation, but basically I work full time and I took two summer schedule classes over our summer semester (8 weeks instead of 16, so double the work). I dropped one and took the "F" solely because it was that or my job.
School isn't worth your mental health, ever. Especially if the class is that nonsensical.
My class that I dropped was "Insects and Diseases" and consisted of the teacher giving us print outs of the powerpoint he was going to show, then reading the powerpoint word for word and not adding anything to it. There were no notes to take, nothing to learn. We also had to look for samples of classes of diseases or insects - very hard to do if you work full time anyway, and doubly so if you're not trained to spot them or work in a field that encounters them. I would bring in things I suspected of pests and he'd say "no. no. no." to every one, and then complain that I should be able to find them on my job site (I work at the office of a galvanizing company - we don't fucking have vegetation near an 800° vat of molten zinc).
I tell you this because I want you to know that some teachers are fucking cunts and ridiculous instructors. Drop it and do something else.
