Okay, let me explain a little more... Adobe has teams that are well able to write tutorials about visually-based stuff because that's what they've always been - a visually-based company. And those teams are cost-effective because they can work across multiple products. With Audition, it's the other way around. There is one audio development team, that now has to service multiple products - and they don't write manuals. And last time they called in an outsider to create one, it cost a fortune, and personally I don't think a very good job was made of it. Attempts were made to create a loose-leaf manual, and that fizzled out too. There have been books written by outsiders as well - I had the extreme misfortune of having to edit one of them, and jam-packed full of mistakes it was. (no names, no packdrill).
The other thing (and you probably won't like this much) is that Audition has always been regarded as a 'professional' product, and as such tutorials weren't really regarded as being that neccesary - pros are supposed to know what they are doing, that sort of thing. The idea is that you do a course (as you are), you're taught the basics of audio and what sort of tools there are to use, and how to use them, and then you'll find all the basic stuff in any pro product you pick up. This is still true to an extent, but it does require your college tutors to actually do a bit of work themselves, rather than just sending you off to find a tutorial...
