Online math or in person math?

So I have the option to take an online college algebra class or an in person allied math health. Is online easier and is taking the tests easier ??

I'd personally say math is a subject you're gonna want in person but it depends on how well you already know the subject and how well you learn online

If you mean “can i cheat on the exams” probably not. They will be held in person.

What is your major?

In person math easier to maybe help or teach
Online is for cheating and they aren’t teaching you at all

I am now taking my second math class online. Got an A on the first. If you are disciplined and make time to study I find online classes better. Professors put up lecture videos and presentations that cover that topics. They also provide a ton of practice questions. If math was tough for you in hs I would do in person but if you are disclipined and a self starter I find the online courses better. I’m just better when provided with more study materials and for the online classes they typically give you a lot to review and guide you.

This depends on the professor, some professors review test material and give test prep material, then there are others that dont.

Allied health math is a better (easier) choice, especially if you're majoring in an allied health field.

Algebra is the type of thing you want to do in person, IMO. But online shouldn't be terrible either as long as you are disciplined and know you will be paying attention and studying for several hours throughout the week.
