Since the instruction set was introduced in the latter portion of the course, it alignedwith the more complex projects, which made these projects particularly tedious since they had tobe implemented in assembly.To address these issues, the outline of the course was modified to begin with an introduction tothe instruction set architecture (ISA) and assembly programming, and later introduceprogramming in C. There were several intended benefits to this switch. By starting with theISA, students would have a better understanding of data storage on the device and how
