same for me as well. I was originally only going to take a single semester, but wound up taking the second semester as well. The first semester was all "A space S space D space F space" and gaining the muscle memory on how to type. Probably one of the single most useful courses in school for my everyday use. The second semester was much more focused on being an executive assistant with emphasis on how to properly format documents and that kind of thing. Easy-A GPA padding course, but I didn't complain too much since it was one of those classes where I was the only male in the class. They started us off on the older clackity-clack style arms, but if you became fast enough to out type the machine, you could progress to a speedball.
