In many ways, yes. It is nearly impossible to fail, even without really learning anything.

There is so much information that the pieces that are truly important get muddled. The test at the end is a joke. (at least in Texas)

The information that you truly need to know could easily be covered in a few hours. Cut the class in half and you would still have a six hour class that covered everything necessary.

Several hours of our class was the instructor telling "cop" stories to fill time. There is a certain amount of information that is mandated. And there is an amount of time that is mandated. And the amount of information isn't nearly enough to fill the amount of time.
