While self learning tools is obviously a useful skill, it's also nice to have someone experienced give you a full overview of how things work. For example, I learned how to use a shell on my own, but learned a lot of features I didn't know by taking a system programming course.

UIUC has a similar course which teaches a variety of commonly used tools, and is graded based on open source contributions
