Not such a bad idea if you can blend it with regular assembly 
mnemonics. When I did the course in machine near programming 
university I believe I chose to do the exam in Motorola 68000 
machine language because I found it no harder than C at the 
time…(?) I surely would not have done the same with the x86 
instruction set though.
