What AP Students Should Know About AP Seminar Performance Tasks

I’m curious as to whether others find this to be true.

From what I’ve seen, few schools offer college credit for the classes, and it’s often generic credit, not a specific course that can be skipped. I’ve never seen or heard it mentioned on admissions pages or by admissions officers. Giving up two full course periods over HS seems a tough trade off, but I can’t say I’ve fully researched it.

Do others think it’s a valuable approach, given the opportunity cost of two HS courses?
