Now I'm not saying that teaching them to use pre-built versions of IF,
WHILE etc., is bad; repetitive practise is always good in programming.
I just fell that it may be quicker and more efficient to start of with
assembly primitives and build up the HLL controls rather than vice
versa, as you do in AoA (32 bits).

If the student already knows the HLL control statements, the assembly
course can focus on other aspects in the early stages: registers,
addressing modes, stack, etc. I think the idea is not to overload the
student with all the necessary instructions and modes , etc, right from
the start but rather introduce them gradually while leveraging their
existing knowledge.
