Intermediate Photo or Digital Photography?

Question

I have just completed Photo 10 (intro to photography). The next step up is intermediate photography (taught by the same instructor I had for Photo 10) but I am definately taking Studio Lighting, and I can only pick one other photo class:
intermediate Photography
or
Digital Photography.

I love taking film photography, but also want the option to shoot digitally.

I can't make up my mind. But I do think the Studio Lighting course is film or digital optional, so I might still have the option to use digital printing equipment at school. I'm not sure.

Any advice on what to do?

You can see some of my work here:

To decide if I need to be in intermediate photography to practice, or if I can make it in Digital Photography.

If you click on "all" at the bottom, you can see how my photography has changed since I took my photo class. The oldest work is on the bottom, all digital, the new stuff is on top.

Since the first responder did not understand the question, let me clarify:
I am taking TWO photo classes Spring semester.
1) Studio Lighting -Definately enrolled
2) Intermediate Photography OR Digital Photography.

My question is should I take Digital Photography or Intermediate Photography.

I already have a digital camera and a film camera I do not need new equipment.

Please respond to the question posed, and not address aspects I have not presented. Thank you.

Answer 1

I'd advise taking the studio lighting course. The material covered can be directly applied to film and digital photography.

Digital photography is little different than film, for the user. It will, mostly, be a difference in learning a new piece of equipment. There are some technical differences, but, that would be true if one were to buy any new piece of equipment.

Answer 2

The D2X was and is a great camera in the right hands, but you are asking the wrong question here. What will a D2X do for you that the Rebel won't? What feature are you missing from the camera you currently have? Do you know how to use every feature of your current camera? Are you comfortable shooting in manual? As a beginner any film or digital SLR with a kit lens should do to get started. As your skill and knowledge progress, you will begin to find limitations of your equipment. At that point, you should consider what lens or body will help you advance. I would rather have good lenses on a basic body rather than a pro body with the kit lens. Don't make the mistake that many people do in thinking that a better/more advances/more expensive camera will automatically make you a better photographer. Doesn't work that way. As for book recommendations, anything by Bryan Peterson, especially "Understanding Exposure" would be a good start. Scott Kelby is good in helping beginners get started doing better photography. Know your camera by completely studying your camera manual. If you don't understand the terminology, get a book on basic photography. Take a class if you can, or join a camera or photography club.
