Should I take an Introductory Spanish Dual Credit?

I'm debating whether to take Spanish as a Dual Credit my senior year, which means I can drop photography (I'm really bad at Photoshop). I also think it'd look better on College applications. I really like Spanish, and I've already taken two years, but I stopped taking classes because I didn't like the teacher. I want to pick up Spanish again, but I'm not sure what the DC will be like. My school will only allow me to take the most introductory class as a dual credit. Does anyone have any experience with Spanish DCs? Are they usually full immersion, and are they harder than the highschool classes? I don't want to risk my GPA. Do you think it's worth it to take the class, or should I stick with photography?

I suggest you stick to classes you are interested in. Since you have prior experience with Spanish and you enjoyed the classes, then I suggest taking the Introductory course. Dual credit can often boost your college applications especially if they see that you've drawn interest to certain courses. If you feel as if the Intro course interests you the most, definitely go for it!
