What I loved about Organizational Behaviour was when some of my lab partners were taking it, and going on and on about X and Y personality types, I just labeled them according to camp leaders I'd worked with (in this case, ones needing to get with the program) and got on with the job of assigning parts of the lab report. It's one of those subjects that is best learned through lots of real world experience, supplemented with the odd pop-psychology book, not the traditional lecture/textbook approach.
I see it in all subjects. TPTB set the curriculum based on what you'll need to understand next year's work, even if you're only taking one year of it. You learn definitions and theorems and famous names, but nothing that's going to be of any use to you in the real world. If you do continue on, that stuff will be very useful, but meanwhile?
I'd love to see an Organizational Behaviour pr psych class that's actually a survey of the current pop on the subject. Show the similarities and differences and fallacies. Use their descriptions, then add the academic interpretation / definition / understanding.
And, grocery time!
