I'd recommend taking the elective at Mac and a difficult course like Math or Physics online at Athabasca. This way, your GPA will boost up because of the elective and your GPA won't drop because of Math or Physics.

Hey,

Take CMNS 423 ... Television Age.

Really easy, and its only 3 essays.

I ended up with a 87%

Has anyone actually taken online courses at Athabasca?? Which ones did you take and would you recommend any?

Three essays only and the topics are really basic.

I personally would NOT recommend taking a hard course like math or physics online. I don't know if you have ever taken a math or physics online before, but it's pretty difficult. It's not the same as taking it in class. Because in math/physics, it's easy to encounter split-second problems about a question, and not having the teacher there to clear things up can be a big issue.

I would recommend taking a course in the Humanities or Social sciences departments. That way, the coursework is mostly just reading, theory, essay-writing, and comprehension.

But overall, up to you.

does McMaster transfer credits from all courses taken with Athabasca?
or do they only take specific ones?

You need a letter of permission. If you do a google search, you'll see that there's a TON of pre-approved courses (though you still need the letter of permission).
If the course you want isn't on the list, that doesn't mean you can't take it, it just means you need to get it approved.
