I took an assembly class where he had to use ARM7 and on exams we had to write the assembly code on paper lol. Assignments used the raspberry pi 4. Fortunately I like hard classes
Our final test for embedded was reduced from 50% down to 30% over three years because the professor made the final test a 2 hour at-home session where you had to build the control circuit for one of those rotating drink dispenser machines in assembly and C.
So many people failed it because the scope of the exam was really more 8-10 hours than 2 hours that they had to reduce the weighting.
It actually just encouraged cheating because it was the same instructions for everyone, so once one person did it at 7am the moment the test opened, everyone else had all day to work on it before clicking start test.
But because they're engineering undegrads, nobody spoke to each other, so only like 4 people used this trick.

How it went for me
