Challenging online courses?

[Dried Mango]

Do you recommend taking orgo online or in-person? deciding whether to take this fall during covid (which would be online) or wait until next summer where it might be online. I am a visual learner and like to go over concepts in-person at office hours, etc. But it would save me some time if I took the classes this fall.

Also, what about physics? Good online or better to take in person?

This is a tough one - I really benefited from working collaboratively with others in both classes. That being said, I found lectures to be of limited value in person. Online lectures were helpful to be able to watch and rewatch as needed. Office hours online work well for both classes. The challenge will be finding ways to work with others if that’s something you’re into.

I recommend taking physics and organic chemistry sooner rather than later. We don't know how this COVID crisis will fully play out, so plans are expected to change. Personally, I would not put a hold on my career for just a few classes.
