Actually, the professor for the computer organization & assembly language
course I took this semester continually used the PDP-11 as an example.
It's interesting that, although we were learning 8086 assembly, the code
during the lecture was usually for the PDP-11, and we studied various
aspects of the PDP-11's hardware. The professor thought that the PDP-11
was the perfect system to learn this kind of thing on...

And before you ask, actually the professor in question is only a young man
of 32 years in age.
