I am currently "attending" the above mentioned course by following along online. I am enjoying it very much so far. There have been three assignments so far, the first of which was to get rust installed and such. I think it would take most of the HN crowd less than a week to catch up with the course so that they can follow it for the remainder of the semester, even if they have a day job. The most experienced programmers might be able to catch up within just a few hours.
