It’s absolutely worth taking. It’s not very hard at all if you start by learning digital logic circuits and then learn computer organization. If you jump into it like it’s a programming language but you don’t actually know how the computer itself works then it’s hard, so don’t do that.

It’s part of my schools required computer organization course, they teach and test a fake ISA as well as ARM, but they don’t teach you how to like write software in assembly like they do for the C++ courses

We learned assembly as part of a microprocessors class. We had a small logic board we built a LED ping pong game on, and then the final was building a CPU in logisim. I enjoyed assembly, but horribly failed the final and barely passed the course! (Needless to say I won’t be going to work for Nvidia any time soon!)
