This is considered the hardest computing course at UNSW (with the possible exception of the security course). It has a reputation for being brutal and breaking lesser people. 'Survivors' get a t-shirt proclaiming this fact.

How does UNSW compare to say MIT? The pace of this course looks fairly relentless.

I never got a chance to take the Systems Programming or OS Dev courses while in school- does anyone know of any online courses (or textbooks) that, by the end of it, will have you with a working toy OS through the exercises?

Do you think this is an effective teaching style?

There's a similar class at UIUC that all computer engineering undergrads have to take. https://courses.engr.illinois.edu/ece391/assignments/mp/mp3/...
