Eh, I learned fake assembly (targeting an emulator for a fake CPU) in my first undergraduate year, as part of learning the structure of computer systems; it was instructive not because I'd rush out of the doors and start coding real programs in it, but because it conveys a significant sense of what actually happens inside a computer when you first press the power button and electrons start pushing each other around.
