Like I said, it could have just been that I didn't look in the right place. I think the ones that left me with the impression of "here's your booklist" were mostly Humanities. Consider History 21.H.131, "America in the Nuclear Age":

It's basically a list of textbooks and descriptions of four assignments. No lecture notes, no sample quizzes. It could just be how this teacher operates, or because it's one of the earliest courses (Fall 2000).

I also checked out Single-Variable Calculus, and I must say that that's a much more comprehensive package. Week One has eight pages of handouts and a video lecture; practice tests and answers are included as well. This is what I'd hoped for when I first stumbled upon OCW. I heartily endorse this event or product.
