BPK 140 online or in person?

zStudent
in General
I'm planning on taking BPK 140 next semester but I was wondering whether it'd be better to take it online or in person. If it changes anything the in-person prof is Andrew Blaber while the online prof is Anne-Kristina Arnold. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hmm I had Diana Bedoya for BPK 140 and I don’t regret taking it in person w her because she was an amazing lecturer! I enjoyed going to her 8:30am lectures. BPK 140 is a straightforward course and pure memorization. Therefore, whether you take it online or in class shouldn’t change the outcome of how well you do in the course. I would look at rate my prof and take that into consideration and then decide whether you will take it online or in class.

    Online courses are always tough because it requires an incredible amount of self-discipline to keep up to date on reading and homework if you're already taking a full class load in person. That said, BPK 140, 141 and 143 with Tony Leyland are some of the only courses I would recommend taking as they are mostly memorization courses. This doesn't mean they are necessarily easy because lots of scientific terms are used, but very doable.
