So, this semester I am going to learn Assembly. Like my past programming classes, I'd like to get a head start before instruction begins, so I have a few questions...
1. What's a good assembly program?
2. Are there any recommended places that I should check out online to learn assembly?

You should probably look into getting Irvine's book:
http://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-Intel-Based-Computers-CD-Rom/dp/0132383101/sr=1-1/qid=1168974479/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4307096-4093736?ie=UTF8&s=books
As far as online resources go, you could probably check out Programmer's Heaven:

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

FASM is probably a good place to start (a link from that page).
I first learned about assembly years ago from the PCGPE (PC Game Programmer's Encyclopedia). It's old, but has many interesting articles/tutorials on many different topics. It's mainly to do with DOS based programming. But it's still a good read. The parts relevant to you would be the assembly section, but it specifically deals with Intel assembly rather than in general terms. It include a large document with all the Intel instructions too (useful!). Highly recommended.

Ahhhh assembler. I haven't programmed in it since college. I'm such a waste of a potentially good programmer.
It's important to know what you will be programming on. Each platform can have a unique set of assembler commands. However, I assume you will be using an intel platform, so the stuff here is pretty relevant.
All my assembler was done on an IBM 370 mainframe (I am so stinking old) and was over ten years ago, so I wouldn't be much help anyways.

This would be true. Pretty much any general course on assembler would be using an Intel x86 platform. There are a few more specialized courses that might focus on microcontrollers or DSP platforms (I really wish I could have done the latter!). For myself I haven't had to do this since my undergrad days (which was on an 8051), although I'd first learned x86 and Z80 assembler when I was in high school.

In a course I did, we learned DLX assembly and a very small amount of Intel assembly.
