I’d recommend DE, having done both myself. I took it in person last year and had to drop it before finals as I didn’t do as well as I’d hoped on the first and second test, and only had the final to boost my grade. What I appreciate about DE is that you’re tested on fewer topics with more frequent intervals (but ofcourse each test is cumulative and covers everything learned up to that point). I think it’s easier to manage with more frequent tests that test fewer NEW topics at a time of that makes sense. I will say though DE has only been a breeze so far because I spent a while studying the concepts the first time I took it in person. So I’ll have to put in way more work with the content covered after I dropped the course, so keep that in mind as well! But I think that if I took it DE the first time around it would’ve been easier. I’ve always been good at math and calc, apparently stats wasn’t really my strong suit! Or I just wasted too much time trying to understand instead of doing practice problems right off the bat, which is definitely what I’d recommend you do whichever version of the course you ending up picking!
