Online Classes vs. In person? Can either of these options affect future job outlooks?

It was a joke, not saying it's like a masters program, but I got no value from it. Could've read the FAR/DFARS online myself.
Their idea of collaboration was trying to force you to post at least one original post and respond to someone else on a message board.
On the other hand during intro week at the Executive MBA program at UNC, they randomly selected me to stand up in front of the class with another student and sell flying Ryanair, while the other guy had to sell British Airways. Now that was fun, exciting, scary all at the same time. Fast forward 10 years, if you have to present to an executive, they will ask all sorts of tough questions because they don't want to allocate funds to a nonsensical project. An online message board won't help prepare you for that kind of pressure.

Grad school would be different than getting a bachelor's imo.

To an extent yes, but I did some of the same stuff in undergrad. You learn how to cultivate relationships in in person college, how to relate to classmates, professors. To me, online school is more similar to a forum like this one. Do you learn from others? Sure, but you can more carefully craft your image, responses, etc.

You've got a point.

I just noticed this while doing my MacroEconomics HW. I actually learned more about Macro Econ online than I did in person when I took Micro Economics.

When I took Micro Econ in person I didn't learn much. Plus, it was hard for me to understand it.

I am taking Macro Econ right now and I actually understand the material better. The teacher is the same one I took for Micro Econ.

But, once I watch the teacher's videos she post on D2L I understand the material better and I understand the teacher better.
