I'm trying to decide between taking the class online or onsite. People say on site is hard, but a few people say that's because it's all new information the people that recommend online says it's easier are in patho II. The issue is I'm wondering is it easier simply because they are a little more familiar with the information since they are in the second part. Anyone took patho I online have any input? I want to learn the material not just have it easier. TIA.

It's not hard online if you're good at learning that way... it does take a lot more time, though. Online classes have a lot more 'busy work' than campus classes. The tests are harder, too. The online tests are always harder than the campus tests.
I know that some people take the online classes in the hopes that they can 'open book' the tests but... the exams lock out your screen so you can't change screens and you are required to have your webcam on when you take your tests to insure a lack of cheating.
If you have the time to take it on campus then take it on campus.

Thanks for replying, I'm nervous because for my campus no on site is available unless it's just not showing. For the past month they've had it available on campus and taken it off twice I really wish they had it on campus. I learn pretty good online but I really think I could do better on site.
