As much as I learned from it I was ready to be done with it. The assignments were uninteresting and not fun. That being said I learned a TON about photoshop and photography so that's a big plus! So here's a panorama I made of the coffee shop I hang out at.

I think I'm going to take a photography class to fulfill some elective requirements, because it has literally nothing to do with my major. I'm getting a camera very soon and would like to get the most out of it.

It's worth it alone for learning to use photoshop which is something very good to put of a resume. Also if you're looking at a camera, instead of a DSLR you might want to look at mirrorless cameras, they have huge sensors like DSLRs but are MUCH more compact.

Yes, exactly. I'm getting an NX300, I've been recommended it and have read several good reviews. Not DSLR, but mirrorless! (I know nothing about cameras)

Samsung really is starting to make some good mirrorless cameras! You might also want to look at Sony's as well. While Samsung is making some good cameras, they're still kind of lacking in the lens department.

That's really the only thing I'm concerned about. But I'm getting it as a birthday present, so I'm not going to nitpick. I'm sure once they realise how popular their cameras are getting, they'll up their game.

I might be old school, but: Photoshop != photography.
99% of the time a good photo will gain nothing from photoshop, it just means more of the OK shots become good shots.
Not that I don't think PS doesn't have a place:
But I do think there is way too much focus on post production rather than getting a great shot in the first place.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. Maybe you can get perfect shots in a studio enviroment where you have all the time you want and have complete control. However when you're out shooting solo there are too many variables out of your control. This is where photoshop comes in. However as a general rule, "shit in, shit out."

If we are talking sports... sure you can't control that a bit. But landscape / architecture... You can take it slow, move around and wait for the perfect light... That's half the fun!
