    Take all of the classes! I can't really answer your question without
    knowing what you're good at and how you learn. 

    115 to 200. per course actually sounds really cheap. They go for more
    around here. 

    If you must drop one class, I would drop the epoxy and buy the book
    on the subject by Sheri Haab. 

    But, realize that you save a lot of time when you take a class. The
    instructor has (hopefully) been doing it for years and has already
    made the mistakes, and can prevent you from doing the same. Tips,
    tricks, that improve your speed and accuracy, decrease your failure
    and annoyance.
