Are Online Courses "good"?

I can take free online AP courses if I want to (telephone teacher if needed). Would it be useful to do this along with self-studying, or are online AP classes unwise? Is it easy getting a grade in them? I am not familiar with online education.

If you can't take it at school because they don't offer it/scheduling conflicts, go for it. As long as you score well on the AP exam.

I have never taken an AP class online but I have taken jounalism online in 10th grade. Not only was it one of the most boring classes I ever took, i didnt feel like the teacher was really teaching, just giving us assignments. If I were you, I would take an easy class then just self study for the Ap test. Or, if you are up to it, you could self study for 1 Ap test and also take a regular AP class that your school offers.

Oh my god I'm regretting my online AP euro course.
It's a lot of work (sophomore, first AP...) I self studied AP's last year, and I wish I had just done that this year. It's so much more efficient.
