I had similar cases with "business" and "management" courses in my computer engineering degree. While understanding business thinking is definitely an important part of being a computer engineer, these courses were utter bullshit and everyone knew it. So everyone I knew cheated, it was an open secret.

But the university wanted to boast that they are modern and prepare students for business stuff: look, we even require business-related courses in our program! But actually it was some nonsense like memorize various lists, like the 5 different aspects of whatever, some pseudo-mathy formulas, etc. I mean, if you take me that seriously to give me this type of nonsense as "learning material" then I will take you precisely as seriously when it comes to the exam.
