A decent introductory overview but I would have liked less time spent on calculating entropy values and computational difficulty and more time on the theory, design and implementation of actual crypto algorithms.

Some issues with the course. Pacing of in-video questions was often wrong. Some information was left out of the course. I would like a cryptography case study project to create our own cryptographic system.

This course requires more information on the topics. Due to less explanation and information on topics it becomes a bit difficult to solve questions. But all in all the course is good

Really good to start with the basics, the only problem is with the quizzes that are not to clear

Good for beginners. Too basic though in my opinion.

It is ok. not a lot of math. Ok for busy people.

It's a good course if you are getting started in cryptography. But , for people having a rudimentary knowledge of math especially probability and the Alice-Bob-Eve terminology in cryptography may skip it and jump right into the 2nd course. But, the teacher is a really good communicator and the course is very good to get started with cryptography. I was able to finish this course in around 2 days with prior knowledge in crypto

Not the best I've followed on the the. Good enough but, IMHO, lacking of clear explanation on some concepts and some exercises are too generic and without a clear explanation (i.e. : many quizzes are difficult to do because the number of decimals to use is "revealed" only after a while.

Slides are totally useless. Some questions are formulated not so easy to understand for non-native English speakers. Confusion how to properly type the decimal numbers - use comma or dot as decimal separator. Not all terms are properly explained.

I find that numerical explanations are based on someone who already understands or knows about criptography. It's my first course in this matter and I believe the video explanations could be more detailed.

The instructor is not clearly showing his idea; however, the course is an abstract overview.

I wish downloadable slides contained the same content as videos.
