Assume that each student already knows C and C is the expected language.
Students are expected to know IA-32 assembler, Intel architecture and C.
If they, in fact, know asm, AND C, not just how to tell them apart, they
will tell YOU what they want and next.
Find a way to emulate geting under a (virtual) shade tree as the 
Hellenes did and
get them to teaching and challenging each other...   Great fun...

But with good docs as well....  not like the APL programmer who hands
his mate a one-character program and sez:
 "bet you can't guess what *that* does!"
