what are your opinions on these? Which would you rather take? Which do you feel you learn more in? Which fits your lifestyle better?

I did 2 online classes during a summer quarter, and still haven't finished them (9 months to complete, which runs out this month). It wasn't so much learning online, I just had books to read & assignments that I emailed in. Its still hard to motivate myself to do it & I'm giving up on 1 of them because now I have my face-to-face classes to focus on & just don't have enough time.

I've done both of those classes. What's good about online is that if you're a busy person who works or have a family, you don't have enough time attending ground classes so I think online classes suits them. I work, go to school online and I am attending a ground class too. That works fine with me. The best thing about online class are open notes...haha! On ground or face to face class, I hate doing presentation. Overall, I recommend both as long as you finish studying with flying colors. Thanks!

I think face to face classes can be interesting and you get more opportunities to see different points of view. But online classes are nice because you arent restricted to certain days/times etc. For me Online is definately more in tune with my lifestyle. I am currently staying at home with our 5 month old son, and am actually thinking about enrolling for some online classes that I can do during nap time, or after he is in bed.

This is my last semester in College and I have taken more than half of my classes on-line. This semester I am taking the classes that were not available on-line and I can honestly say that I am enjoying them. I kind of feel like I missed out. Anyone else feel this way?

I think they both have plus points really.. Face to face classes tend to give you more motivation to carry on with, and complete the course. Where as online classes can give you the opportunity to do something you might not otherwise get the chance to do.

I feel that I learn more when I'm in the class room with face to face hands on learning. I think it great thet they have both now so that people have a choice, some people can learn by reading and others like myself need to be taught. Some subjects I can do on my own by reading it like History. but others like math I need hands on learning.

I would opt for online learning because I would be more at ease to learn in my own time and I would manage my time myself. Therefore, there will be a gread deal of independence and freedom when studying.
