Thank you, even these little things help me (and others) out.  If you or anyone else have any other pearls PLEASE post them. I'mm going to give my classmates a link to this forum. Hopefully we can learn this inspite of our prof. 

Then next question is more of an opinion. This is a 7 week course, with little to no instruction. Realistically, how much can/should we be able to learn? I picked up Ansi C in a 7 week course with no problems, in fact I excelled at the class to the point I was getting more adv assignments than others.

Seven weeks should be plenty of time to be reasonable comfortable with assembler programming. Depending on the amount of practice you can do, and what kind of help you can get from the teacher and others. It will also partly depend on what kind of platform you are using.  Plain 8086 instructions (no newer CPUs) means "Real Mode" and some kind of MS-DOS like posibilities. If you are a experienced programmer in a high level language like C there should be relativly straight forward to get down to the details of Assembler programming.
