I took a similar class in college, and I'm also glad I did, even though the professor was kinda rubbish.

Even having the thinnest surface level understanding of the other ur-languages is so useful (and even more-so with assembly). I can't do anything useful with them, but it helps keep you from the "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" trap if you're at least aware of the existence of screwdrivers.
