I've done this, in the Intro to Computer Architecture class at UC Davis during Summer Session 1981, while I was still in high school. What I was expecting was to learn how to build a computer out of transistors, you know, with a soldering iron, as I wasn't having much luck finding paying work when I was in high school. What the course actually taught was how to write device drivers for the LSI-11 - a PDP-11 compatible minicomputer - in assembly code, hand-assembling it into octal, then entering with a keypad using ODT, the Octal Debugging Technique. It was my only college course for which I receive a C. :-(
