my experience with the last MOOC psychology course that i 'took'.

Most (non-psych) courses require weeks-months to complete.

I enrolled in a psych course skipped all lessons and went straight to the final exam (I have no formal psych education or background)

Took me 10 minutes to complete the exam with ~90% of question right. (I would just guess them or deduct them from the questions or sometimes I knew the answer)

Some of the 'heuristics' that i used to guess the questions when I didn't knew the anwer:

I would try to select the most misanthropic answer given that made a person(patient) look most helpless, insecure and flawed.

Conclusion:

Psychology is a joke and a waste of time.
