One of the students pointed out to me a great discussion of RISC vs CISC: pentium versus powerpc. You can read it here.

For Assignment 3 and all future programming assignments, students must include their Name, Student number, and CASLAB login (Qlink ID) as comments on their submitted source programs (printed and electronic). This is necessary in order to match their hardcopy submissions to their electronic submissions which are often only identified by their login id.
