Should I stop taking Chinese in university?

大家好!I studied Chinese last year in university for the full school year. I loved the teacher and TAs and learned a lot, so I signed up again this year.

Unfortunately, the instruction isn't so good now. There's a different teacher for this level of Chinese with her own TAs and I'm not a fan of her style at all. I only attend lectures and tutorial sections because they explain grammar and what sounds unnatural (and because they're mandatory); we spend time reading the vocabulary list and text as a class and I can't help wondering why I'm paying to read aloud. On top of that, it puts me at a higher courseload than average which can tank my GPA if I'm not careful and almost certainly detract from my time for other subjects.

I have a PDF of the textbook, a whiteboard for character practice, and a subscription to this subreddit. My professor confirmed my tones are solid. Yet I'm plagued by the fear that I'm passing up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for formal instruction.

Can I continue to learn Chinese without taking a class? How effective is it to self-study?
