I'm in high school, but I've taken my fair share of online classes.

And, no matter the course subject, I will prefer 100% of the time the actual class.

Taking a course online makes it easier to cheat--if the exams/assignments are also submitted online. There is very limited interaction (if at all) with the course material.

I was very unsatisfied with my online courses from FLVS. I chose to take online courses because I needed them to graduate, or because my school did not offer them (i. e. "scheduling difficulties").

But, I would never ever recommend them to anyone who had the option of taking the course in a classroom with a professor and other students.
