You should both feel lucky. The best I had was a class where we filled in the bodies of a handful of small functions in a trivial assembler (trivial meaning completely bare-minimum, and no actual lex/parse theory was used) that was written by the *cough* "professor" for a trivially simple fictitious CPU. And that was the *best* of the three colleges I've been to. (Cue Walter reminiscing about how great Caltech was... ;) )
