About the Course
Top reviews
I loved this course! It is unlike any I have taken before. All courses in this specialization have always included fun activities to make the taught content fun and understandable.
I was really impressed especially with the RSA portion of the course. It was really well explained, and the programming exercise was cleverly designed and implemented. Well done.

•The quiz from the RSA segment is a drag. The reason is that I don't see the implementation of the "given" functions and debugging via the text box provided is annoying. The first 3 segments are well prepared and have enough information for someone like me to pursuit this topic further.

•Last chapter was way too challenging compared to the previous ones. I had a really tough time with the assignments. Otherwise, a very nice course !

•The instructor sometimes rushed through the content.

•Tough course for non-math
By Ishrar C
•needs more examples for the theorems. they emphasize on the proofs more than making us understand the theorems. otherwise, okay.

•This module was the worst module in the whole specialization course. Lack of example, non-clear explanation, variables that are difficult to understand, weird way of abstracting the explanation. it feels like instructor abstract in a way that only to take student already have pre-knowledge to understand the course.
During the Euclid, It took me 4h on keep watching the videos and I found a single page that explained to me in 2 min.
Even I don't get the certificate for specialization I am not going to finish this module. From my experience, this Is a very good module that makes a person to hate to learn about number theory and cryptography
During the course, I thought only I was the one who doesn't understand what the instructors says but looking at the review I noted that it is not the case

•This was a pretty rough course, Michael Levin knows his stuff but his style of charging straight through everything with variables didn't work for me so I would catch the title of the lesson and head straight over to YouTube. Examples of the concepts in action where the instructor interacts with the screen instead of just talking over powerpoint slides would be great because the content is legit but the instruction could stand a boost or two
By Shubham C
•After few lecture this course is just slides reading and no proper explanation.
By Samuel R S
