Introduction to Angular Factory Question

I am stuck on something that appears to be correct and and does log the desired information to the console, yet I the code does not pass. I have researched this question and everything I have found tells me I am doing this correctly. Is there a bug in the lesson?

app.js 
angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .factory('Course', function() {
    return {
      title: "Intro to Angular"
    }
  });

angular.module('treehouseCourse')
.controller('MyCourseCtrl',["$scope","Course",function($scope,Course){
    console.log(Course.title);
}])
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="treehouseCourse">
  <head>
    <title>Angular.js</title>
    <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body ng-controller="MyCourseCtrl">
  </body>
</html>

angular.module('treehouseCourse', [])
  .factory('Course', function() {
    return {
      title: 'Intro to Angular'
    }
  });

angular.module('treehouseCourse')
  .controller('MyCourseCtrl', ['$scope', 'Course', function($scope, Course){
    console.log(Course.title);
  }]);

The above works, and is done how it should be from what I understand. You definitely did it right.

its still not working or passing with any suggestions, i went ahead and asked my professor who came up with the same answer we have and it wouldn't pass. I checked wiht Angular up and running by O'reilly and I don't see where our problem is.

Okay, I figured it out, we're all being too clever and over thinking it :)

The question says "Within the controller, log the injected factory to the console using console.log.", and we were all logging the title attribute.

The correct answer is:

.controller('MyCourseCtrl', ['$scope', 'Course', function($scope, Course){
    console.log( Course );
}]);
