Introduction to Assembly Programming

Learning assembly will allow students to develop the basic skills for software engineering and embedded/micro-systems. Students can use this knowledge to take on learning other low-level subjects such as C, software optimization, or digital engineering.

Unlike many of my other classes, homework is REQUIRED for this course completely.
Assignments will be posted on Canvas and submitted there as well.
Students will be given about three assignments each week, worth 10 points for programs and 5 points for worksheets for a 100% total. Students will complete these programs individually as a portfolio of their work, which should take roughly 30-60 minutes to complete. The readings should take equally long. While I expect assignments to be complete before the next class, I will allow all assignments (excluding the last, of course) to be submitted within two days before the last class. Assignments will be graded by completion.
