I'm in year 2 of a computer science course at the University of Ulster.
Our modules look like this:

We didn't have a module on assembly language, but it was taught over the
course of maybe 2 weeks in a Computer Hardware & Organisation class. We
used a 6502 emulator in practicals for about 3 weeks. I would have liked
to have had a whole module on it, but we're not even having one class on
C.
