Which do you think is better? Have you done either one? Why do you think one is better than the other in your opinion? Explain :)

On Line college can be effective but it must be designed from the ground up to be taught remotely. In March 2020 I had to teach all my courses remotely. I used Zoom and a laptop to give assignments out of the text and to give tests and quizzes. I found it to be a waste of time. Some students cheated on the tests and half the time I did not know who was still in the class and who dropped out. I did not fail anyone because the students did not sign up for this. I was not happy with the result.

I took a course on how to teach remotely but opted to wait until covid was over with before teaching again.

In-class is ALWAYS better. You have immediate access to the instructor after class if need be and always have office hours.

I work from home and I know I'd be more productive if I was in the office interacting with my coworkers. Sadly, that's somewhat impossible since many of us are spread across 4 timezones.

Still, in person interaction is often more efficient at communicating and resolving issues - both in school and in the workplace.

When I was at my university, I took both my junior and senior years, and I absolutely HATED the online classes. I found them far more boring and much more labor intensive. Sure there was a bit more flexibility in how you accomplished the work and when, but it just wasn't it, especially when I took a really difficult statistics course, and began to struggle. I think maybe the outcome would have been better if the online classes were ones I really wanted to take, but they were just courses I needed for the purpose of satisfying degree requirements because the in persons were full.

I'm always the black sheep, so I'm going with online. I can't tell you how times I got ready for school, drove to school, searched for a parking spot, and then went to class. Then I find out we're just going to be watching a video. Heck I could have watched that from bed.

When kids show up to my lectures they always get their moneys worth. Sign up for my Operating Systems class next January.

Crap! I pushed the wrong button, and now I'm gonna die?

I've delved into pascal, python and java script. I love the concept of computer programming, I'm just not good at it.
I've installed hundreds of distro's of Linux on my puter. Peppermint, Cinnamon, red hat, etc hundreds
I can't get onboard with crazy.

UNIX/Linus course and like some versions of Linux but concentrate on Windows because 99% of jobs are for Windows machines.

It's the same books and if you want one-on-one versus online versus college you can get that too but it depends on you your schedule and the things you have going on in life what is going to be easiest for you I personally and I have done this did it online because then I could do everything else I was doing it the same time it was just fit my needs a lot better

In class! Nothing like living and going to college!

In-class has always been better for me unless there are people that disrupt the class.

Half of college is the people you meet, the connections you make for your career, friends for life, even lovers for now or a husband one day.

In class is best. You meet similar people and can bounce ideas off each other.

[Iron_Man]

it seems like it’s more credible and more serious in person

[bananathunder]

in class is always better unless there is a reason you can't attend

In class college, you meet new people, learn new experiences and get new friends,
