I would ask questions about it.
1. MIPS, eh? Say, does your assembler automatically fill branch delay slots, or is that manual? Does it just fill them with noops, or does it move instructions from the branch target?
2. Do you have all the pseudo-ops, so that a move doesn't have to be expressed as add dest, src, 0 type of thing?
3. Is your assembler syntax compatible with other assemblers? Is the object format?

4. Is there a regression test suite?
