Comment Online vs Classroom (Score 1) 598
In my, limited, experience with online classes, I have determined that you will learn about 50% of what you would in a class room on average. So if the course is a gen-ed requirement, and all you really want out of it is 3-4 credit hours towards your degree, go online. If its part of your core classes, and you need the knowledge, go to class.
Instructor laziness plays into it quite a bit as well. Some people just don't work well from home, some do. Just because your professor has a doctorate in Mathematics, does not mean he has learned any amount of self discipline. I recommend talking to other students in your class about their experiences with other teachers at your school, and plan your education accordingly.
