Depends on your teacher, if its alot of hands on stuff, and straight up tutorials, then it'll be awesome for you, if its a teacher that just talks about graphics design, then it'll be the most boring class of your life.
for example:
[good]
today we're gonna learn some new techniques for layer masking. here's some of them (and shows a few examples step by step) then asks you to recreate the examples using provided materials.
[bad]
(all talk, no user interaction, or graphical instructions)
today we're gonna learn some new layer masking techniques, so first off, you open your document, click this click that repeat, or click that and try this and do that, this also works blah blah blah, now for homework, i want you to create and shoe me examples of your work using my verbal instructions.
your best bet to impress your teacher, is to do a LOT of experimentation, no joke, take your time on graphics, generate at least 2-3 ideas for each assignment. after your done, than ask other people which is best, then give the best one, according to other people's opinions, to the teacher as your completed result.
