Abstract

The IA-32 assembly language is a crucial part of Introduction to Computer Systems. Mastery of the IA-32 assembly language directly impacts students' systems competency. The paper has successively attempted teaching research methods such as compiling a learning document, recording instructional videos, and designing a learning assistant software in order to enhance teaching effectiveness, improve students' learning efficiency, stimulate their learning motivation, and sharpen their practical skills. The students' performance of the IA-32 assembly language has improved, through the above methods, especially after using the learning assistant software. The next step will involve further refining and promoting this learning assistant software to achieve even better results.
