I felt it was a good introduction to cryptography. There were quizzes and programming assignments throughout the course to assess knowledge.

Good course, but can get very deep at times, especially near the middle of the course.The first 2 weeks are rather simple, week 3 is okay, 4 and 5 are very detailed, and 6 and 7 are easier.
