It really depends what kind of student you are. I don't like online classes because I usually just take notes from lecture and go form that. I don't usually read the textbook unless I am really into the course or the teacher's lecture is awful. If you like reading I guess online courses might be for you. You sort of teach yourself the material. Sometimes the instructor will leave notes and stuff.

I don't really know about night classes, I think it depends on the course/school/teacher.

It's not hard finding help online, let alone looking through any textbooks considering they 90% of the time tell you exactly what you need to know. I was homeschooled (taught myself) in 9th grade and this is exactly how I had to do it.

But if I had to choose that or actually going to school, I would just go to a school. A teacher's help can mean a lot. There are also smaller benefits you can get from having a teacher rather than only a computer/textbook as well.

yeah I don't know about the whole textbook thing saying how it's crap. That's what I've been relying on because of crappy notes, etc.

Like most classes, it varies a lot. I thought having a class at night would be great, but it's actually a real burden if you also have classes during the day - kills the amount of free time you have, you really miss it in the evening (especially when TF2 is also at night).

Online classes are very similar - while some teachers make it enjoyable, a lot of my online classes were rather cryptic about what is due when, the format of assignments, etc. The best part about online classes is just about anything that's assigned can be completed by researching the topic online instead of having to sit through a lecture and take notes.

My school doesn't have online classes, but I've heard from other people that they tend to be really easy. Evening classes is just personal preference I guess, I've taken some before and it kind of sucked having to go back to class at night.

I'd much rather take a traditional lecture class than an online course. Unless the professor is just awful, usually they make the class a lot more interesting/engaging/fun, even when it's on a topic you weren't very interested in. And it's good to have a professor to talk to/get to know, because they can help you out with the class and with other things (networking, advice, etc.).

Night classes will fuck up your team's schedule.

I wasn't around for half my team's matches last season because School started and I had late/night classes in the middle of the week when everyone was playing.

Microsoft Office based courses (Word Processing, Spreadsheet Apps) are incredibly easy online. I took those in addition to management.
Pretty straightforward considering most of the content is on powerpoints.

Though I can confidently say that I won't remember any of the content in about a year.

Online can be easy because you can cheat all you want on quizzes and tests, but it's hard to tell what the teacher is looking for on homework assignments. The class average for my grade 12 Earth and Space Science course is like a 67. I have the highest mark with only a 91...

For night school it depends on the course and the teacher, just like any other class you'd take.

Like most things in life, school is where you get what you put into it. You dont need school to learn, its just a structured place to go to focus on learning, but you still have to do as much and as difficult works as you can to improve yourself.

I've been to an online school- if you are self disciplined you will do well, if you tend to slack when there is less supervision then you may want to go to a night school or regular college.

It can be very difficult to work full time and do night classes/online college. You may have to sacrifice some sleep in order to get your assignments done to the level of quality that you want.

I tried one online class during my undergrad years, I really really didn't like it. The reason was that without ever going to the class, I would forget that I even had the class. If you're taking all online classes this may be different, but taking 4 normal classes and an online one, may not work out as well. That being said, I found that it was not a hard course even in the slightest.

slacking off isn't something I usually do, my teacher is a terrible teacher with terrible notes, so it can't get any worse than this.
