I have taken that specific course, and yes, it is very good. But I don't think it's always the case that professors at top schools are always better than TAs at small colleges. Top professors are almost always research-oriented and some let their teaching skills suffer. My counter example would be the Algorithms course from Princeton with Robert Sedgewick. I would rate that as basically "just ok."
