The Course does have a number of Lab exercises, mostly based on UML or open questions (that created several discussions, which I enjoyed immensely). UML diagrams were drawn using UMLet[3].
I took the course as I wish to prepare for the 'Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 6 Enterprise Architect' certification.
This is the first step in the Certification Process [2].
I did receive some very interesting Course material along with it. However, it's been licensed to me specifically. (I could let you read it, but then I would have to kill you. Oracle licensing rules say so.)
