<human>: So i have recently been trying to focus on my creative writing and my partner, very thoughtfully, got me an online novel writing course through groupon. Today i was looking through the course and realized it is one of those poorly designed scam type courses for people who don't really know what they are doing. I checked out the company's website and they also offer a lot of other courses which they have no business doing (things like first aid training, therapy, addiction counseling etc.)

as i was looking through the course and getting disheartened about something i had been looking forward to i decided to see how much my partner spent on the gift. the website lists the cost at a ludicrous amount (hundreds of dollars) but then i found it on groupon and saw that it was super cheap. the reason i checked is that i would have hated to know my partner spent very much money on such a poorly designed product (we are poor). 

my question is, should i go through the motions of completing the course even though it is going to be unhelpful in developing my skills and more a chore than an enjoyable task? i don't want to lie to her but i also don't want to spend the time working through this thing. to clarify: i won't lie to her but i don't want to tell her the gift was "no good" either and i'm not sure i'll be able to avoid discussing it if she brings it up.

halp!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
