Ah, sorry I misunderstood. Yes I completely agree. The "snippets" shown right now are just the official course descriptions. Better snippet generation is something I need to research before I deploy anything. It's a complicated problem to solve in a way that will work across all searches. Google used the meta description tags for years before they figured out how to best show snippets from page contents.
