I teach a systems course at Marlboro College which covers some x86 assembler and C, using Bryant and O'Hallaron's "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective" textook. ( http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/ ). The course materials include some great labs.

My students have particularly liked the "bomb lab" which requires reverse engineering an x86 binary to understand what input it expects, and the stack overflow exercises.

Highly recommended.
