The point is that the course is not introductory: > I’ve always taught C as a side effect of teaching operating systems, embedded systems, or something along those lines....One might argue that we shouldn’t be teaching C any longer, and I would certainly agree that C is probably a poor first or second language. So this would be an upper-level class: an introduction to C programming for people with Python/Haskell/etc experience and a decent general understanding of computer science.
