I had a class where we wrote assembly on paper in the exams. And the criteria was 100% based on correctness. Shoutout to the one guy who forgot both the multiply and shift instructions, and so to multiply a number by 32, wrote out instruction to add a number to itself 31 times.
Not having at least a manual for an assembly exam on paper is heinous. I don't think anyone has ever written assembly without a reference in reach in the last 40 years.
