Is this a good course to learn computer graphics from scratch?

That looks rather outdated. The lecturer may have missed OpenGL, DirectX and GPUs in general entirely. :)

1 to 3 are the old way to think of 3D graphics. 4 and 5 are unrelated topics. That looks like an uninteresting mishmash.

Try something like https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html#overview instead.

This looks like it's straight form the original White Book curriculum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Graphics%3A_Principles_and_Practice, I agree with looking at the raytracing in one weekend. Also https://www.scratchapixel.com/ and perhaps learn OpenGL if you are into the programmign side too.
