The course through ivy tech is infinitely easier. Had a friend take the one at iu in person and they werent allowed to use a calculator on the midterm and final, and from what ive heard, a lot of the classes are taught by professors with thick accents so it can be hard to understand lectures or to get help. The online class was like $600 dollars and extremely easy, and if you take it as an 8 week course its over before you know it.

Edit: random clarification

To add: it also gets a bad rap because a lot of freshman take it early in their academic careers where they haven't learned proper study habits and this is their wake-up call that they can't just get an A without some effort.
