As in on the college website online classes or actually going to campus and being in a lecture with students and the professor? For me online I have more free time to do the work instead of OMG! Getting behind more and the stress of the other students and such. I like online alot more. :-)

Online for sure! I'm too nervous to participate in class discussions in person, so online discussions are ideal. Love it.

I prefer the classroom lecture and the interaction within an intelligent class but I HATE working with other students on projects. I'm a better student and I always feel like they're going to pull my grade down from a high A to a lower A. Hahahahahaha!

I tried online but I'm not strict enough with myself. I get too distracted and it takes a lot of energy to remain on task.

I prefer online.

But, in-class comes with many benefits... such as getting to know professors and classmates. That's handy for recommendation letters later on, and simply knowing those you graduate with.

I prefer the hybrid courses.

That's how it works for me.

The only online course that really worked was taking math online, because it was in a classroom with other students also doing the course. For some reason, I won't get distracted when doing that...............

I don't dislike working in groups because I am smarter, I don't like it because I either end up doing all the work or the group excludes me. Half the time, they don't listen to my ideas.

I can't do online courses, I get distracted by my interests and end up not doing the work. So I need to physically go to school. I only interact with a few people here and there, and everyone else leaves me alone, so it's fine.

I cannot do the online classes, only in-class lectures.
I tried doing a semester online, but I just kinda gave up on those classes. Which I pretty much do anyway in a lecture class, but at least I have some sort of accountability in a classroom, cause other students will ask me how I'm doing, or the prof will remind the entire class about something that is due.
I wish I could do online classes for the ones that are boring, but I know that I won't get a good grade because I will slack off.

I like lecture.

But like others, I dislike working in groups. It's so inefficient.
