I mean things such as angles, distance, things that can optimize the quality, and artistic factor of the photos, or do they just teach you the basic camera operations?

The intro to photography course covers a bit of everything. Here is a description:
"
Photography - Basic Film and Digital is a core photography course. Students will develop a working knowledge of their adjustable (SLR) film or digital camera including: exposure control, composition, lenses, flash photography, filters, camera care and night photography. Students must supply their own Digital or Film SLR camera. "

Cost is $185 for a 6 week, 18 hour course. If you're new to photography and seriously considering a dSLR, it will be well worth your money.
