I would say that is one of the worst ways to learn MIPS. A good
compiler will have numerous optimizations, and the resultant code may
bear little resemblance to the original C. Even if you disable all
optimizations, programming style will differ between that generated by
the C compiler and what you write directly in MIPS.
Better to learn the instruction set, registers, etc. without trying
shortcuts. You'll be much better off in the long run.

I am learning the MIPS ISA in class and I guess the best way to learn
this is using real world examples. Thus, I was hoping I could write a
program in C and compile it into MIPS assembly and learn the MIPS ISA
that way.
I am not too familiar with gcc but I have used it and I also know that
objdump tool can be used to disassemble C programs. However, I am not
sure how to cross-compile into MIPS.
I apologize if this question is too obvious.

Thanks for any help.
