Out of curiosity was this part of a specialized statistics/data science program or some kind of social science program that has stats courses with the intention of creating "statistically literate" people in the field?
It was the class designed around constructing and conducting experiments, independent of the stats classes that were prerequisite to it. Much of the first half was spent dismantling and factorizing other experiments to see how parts worked and where they went wrong. Honestly, it was a pretty solid overall course for an undergrad with very little room to blame the course for their failures.
As an aside, there was in fact a Stats Class specifically for the Social Science department, where a pregnant woman showed you how to input things into the calculator and computer programs and that was it. I was so disgusted by it I took a Stats 200 class on my own with an old man coach who made you do everything long form by hand, and its still drilled into my brain.
