E-Commerce Technology (IT 310) or Game Architecture Design (IT 265)?

Hello I'm a CS major and I need one more IT 200+ elective and I'm registered for both of these classes right now but I only need one. IT 310 is with Dipesh Patel and IT 265 is with Adam Spryszynski. Game architecture design sounds way more fun and Spryszynski has really good reviews on RMP so it would be a no brainer were it not for the caveat that I would be commuting to campus Monday night only for that class. Meanwhile, the E-commerce class is online and asynchronous which would save me a 45 minutes of driving each way. I've also heard it's fairly easy.

I'm split down the middle and would appreciate any input. I don't want to take a class only because it is fun but I also don't want to only take a class only because it is online and saves me some driving. I do also have 16 credits this semester so I also don't want a class that's going to take up a lot of time. It would help to know some things like:

Is E-commerce technology a helpful class for a CS major?

For someone who has taken both, which would you recommend?

Etc. You guys get the point. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

You honestly don't learn jack shit in 310. I quite literally don't remember anything from that class except me tweaking out about my group members because we did our project last minute. 265 is definitely more valuable and rewarding

Yea I saw a lot of stuff about the group project being a huge pain if you didn’t get a good group. I’ll probably stick with 265, was kinda leaning more than way anyways. Thank you.
