The assignments were Really hard, but really made the course worthwhile. I have a much better framework for thinking about cryptography in general, now.

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.
