As someone working in industry, I really have to wonder at the reason for teaching assembly to beginners while the rest of us are trying to move up the abstraction ladder. Care to expound on why you're doing this?

Debugging embedded software or even low level software or examining malware is much better at assembly level.

I see. I don't know much about malware, but I do know a bit about embedded programming and it's been a solid 20 years since assembly has helped me to debug something.
