The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students say points vanish for tiny errors and an A is nearly impossible, especially online.
Online reviews scream impossible A; a few in-person reviews say easy pass or bumped grade with effort.
Is the course easy?
Content load is high with many quizzes, tests, essays, projects, and ServSafe, plus confusing instructions.
Online is described as graduate-level chaos; in person is more manageable but still work-heavy.
Is attendance flexible?
Some sections mark attendance mandatory and warn not to skip; several others mark it not mandatory or leave it unclear.
In-person comments more often stress show-up culture; online focuses on assignment deadlines.
Is this professor recommended?
About half would retake her, with strong avoid-online warnings balanced by solid in-person praise.
Online evidence is mostly avoid; in-person evidence is split between wonderful and do-not-take.
