Of course some of the course materials are dry, but then, if one takes the time to study and understand the content, questions may not be drawn directly from the books, yet one should have an idea of where the questions are drawn from and the correct answers. I have pretty much taken some courses in my major (aside other upper level management and business courses) and I am so far contented with Patten.
I'm glad you've had a better experience. Though I was able to move through Patten courses quickly, my intention wasn't to "breeze through it" without learning. I am very much interested in the field and plan to continue on it, and Patten was not my introduction to it. I've taken classes at traditional and non traditional schools and have not had similar issues. I'm a pretty good student. I felt that I learned a lot and the courses themselves were great. It's solely the method of evaluation (the exams) that I had an issue with. It's not an issue of knowing where to look if I'm answering business questions unrelated to psychology, on a psychology exam, outside of a business major.
