AbstractAssembly language instruction represents a core required skill for many computer science andelectrical and computer engineering curriculums. A common approach in assembly languagepedagogy involves teaching students to translate from C to assembly. Unfortunately, the typicalapproach to verifying the correctness of these translations lacks rigor. This paper presents a com

They reported that the percentage ofstudents who earn lower grades (D, F, and W) in thermodynamics courses increases whenstudents have access to solution manuals6.Though there are a number of reports concerning negative effects of solution manuals on studentlearning, there are few reports which emphasize the positive effects. For example, Georgievaproposed a new method of teaching undergraduate mathematics in which the students areallowed free access to the complete solution manual7.

The transition from student to professionalmust occur quickly – often in as little as four-to-five years. Central to this transformation is thestudent’s ability to translate the theories and principles introduced in the classroom into tangibleskills appropriate to their particular discipline and work effectively with a variety of people frommultiple disciplines.

Testingalso becomes more sophisticated and deals with more subtle measurements and interpretationsthan in shorter smaller efforts. Upon entering a legacy project the new team must master quicklytheir predecessors’ technical plans and implementations before they can start their own work.This must be done critically, and may involve immediate testing, because the preceding designscannot always be trusted.
