- From what I can tell of previous exams, it looks reasonable.» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)
- Was easy» (To some extent)
- Very good exam, easy to pass but difficult to write a very good grade.» (Yes, definitely)
- The last two questions were difficult and not reasonable. It is not fair to put that many points on that two questions. The way of propagating points on the other questions were good but it was not reasonable at all in the last two questions. Specially the last question because it was from the homework assignment and it is not fair to ask this question specially from the students that are taking the re-exam. They have done the assignment long time ago so they cannot do that like the others can.» (To some extent)
- The text could use some better separation» (Yes, definitely)
- Only seen the old examinations» (Yes, definitely, I don"t know/have not been examined yet)
- A very good exam testing a wide range of knowledge.» (Yes, definitely)

- Everything except the correcting of the assignments was good. Usually you got a reply a few days before the final deadline, which in effect made it possible to resubmit only once, even though you had 2 weeks between first and final deadline.» (Rather well)
- The labs where corrected quite late.» (Rather well)
- not good to have to use a chalmers linux computer to create the assignment, I had to go to school only because of that one day, and I was ill:(. Couldn"t it be an web application instead?:)» (Rather well)
- The only part that didn"t work so good was that it took some time to get feedback on the submitted assignments.» (Rather well)
- Lecture list should be complemented with dates.» (Rather well)
- Perfect example of how a course web page should look like and contain.» (Very well)
- One of few courses with great administration during my 5 years at Chalmers!» (Very well)
- Everything is great, the website contains all that you can possibly wish for, and I love it that the lab papers contain so much information so that you don"t have to look through old slides and material to understand what you"re supposed to do.» (Very well)
- Took long time for the programming assignment to get graded otherwise everything worked perfect.» (Very well)
- The best administered course I have had in years!» (Very well)
- Fire worked well, as always. Website had lots of useful content and was easy to use. Good thing you don"t hide the website behind Studentportalen/Studieportalen/Whalecom/Failcom/whatever but have a public website instead. » (Very well)

- No time where you can do problems and ask questions about them.» (Very poor)
- sometimes when someone asks a question the teacher responds in a way that the student is rather stupid that has asked a question (because he or she doesn"t understand some parts) » (Rather poor)
- Too big of a group for exercise sessions. People don"t dare ask questions. Not sure what to do about it though.» (Rather poor)
- Björn and the assistants were very willing to help.» (Very good)
- Perhaps a little too good, as there were one student in particular that asked serveral questions every lecture. Most of his questions were not, in my oppinion, of general interest, since he most of the time just didn"t understand what had just been explained. Perhaps in the future such question, comming from one and same student every lecture, could be given a little less attention.» (Very good)

10. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?

- Most of assignments were individual, so this question is not relevant to this course» (?)
- I worked strictly alone in this course.» (Very poorly)
- by lab partner baled on me..» (Rather poorly)
- Did all the assignments including the programming assignment myself. After some confusion about lab partners I got a new lab partner, but he chose to finish the assignment without me, he choosing a programming language I didn"t prefer to use. I finished this assignment myself instead. » (Rather poorly)
- Rather unclear what you mean by cooperation in this context but the cooperation between me and my labpartner, the only cooperation I sought, worked very well.» (Very well)

- This study period has been too hectic for me in order to fully appreciate and reflect over the course contents to the extent I would like to. The weekly assignments have a contributed somewhat to this. I would prefer two larger projects instead. And either an exam or assignments, not both. The other course I"m taking has a similar layout with assignments and projects (but higher work load). However, the assignments are graded and added to the final exam mark (most people get enough point to pass the course without taking the exam).» (Good)
- Interesting, informative. » (Good)
- This is much because Björn has skill in teaching cryptography. The assignments were well written, and at a good level.» (Excellent)
- This course is a must.» (Excellent)
- A fun and interesting course, that has worked very well.» (Excellent)
- One of the two best courses I have taken. The course homepage layout is nice and easy to navigate. The assignments are really good, the "learning"/"time spent" ratio is high which I like.» (Excellent)
- It might depend on the fact that I did understand a lot and like the subject, but I will most likely recommend this course to other students.» (Excellent)
- One of the best courses I"ve attended to.» (Excellent)
- A long time ago i was so dedicated to a course.» (Excellent)
- Very good course, I will recommend it to other students.» (Excellent)
- Very interesting course material» (Excellent)

12. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The programming assignment.»
- I really liked the professor and his teaching skills.»
- Everything!»
- Weekly home assignments and the programming assignment.»
- The homepage»
- Mathematics related topics may have more information in the course homepage»
- Assignments, Björn»
- The assignments were very interesting and helped a lot in gaining a better understanding of the various notions.»
- The home assignments! You learned a lot from them, and did actually do your work in time.»
- The lecturer, assignments, lab.»
- Björn von Sydow.»
- Björn and the simplicity of the course as a whole. Nothing too thorough to be unnecessary, but nothing explained too little either.»
- - Home assignments are well crafted, and should keep their current form (with a programming assignment) »
- Labs»
- The assignments were good but the homework assignment needs more explanation. as I understand most of the students made the same mistake of reading from the file. Althought it was mentioned in the description, it was not that clear otherwise that many students would not have made the same mistake.»
- Björn and his slides!»
- Everything! :D»
- almost everything»
- The structure of the lectures.»
- Most things. I liked the home assignments. I am not sure about the lab though. I think it was not really complicated. For sure we had enough with home assignments and exercises so it should not have been more time consuming than it was. But maybe we could have been without it completely instead.»
- Home Exams, programming assignment, exam structure, the teacher»
- Hand in assignments were a good tool to deepen the understanding of various concepts»
- Björn von Sydow»
- The good mixture of theorethical and practical content, both in the assignments/ labs and lectures.»
- Björn, the overall course plan»
- The course structure - it is really excellent and gives very good insights on the matter at hand.»
- assignments»
- I would say the course is good as it is. Very pleased.»
- Excellent course. Could be kept as is.»
- Programming assignment. The only time we actually made a working, useful, implementation of cryptography. Course book? »

13. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Nothing!»
- Faster correction of the assignments.»
- Correct the assignments a lot quicker, should not take a week and a half to get a response.»
- Maybe lock the door 10 minutes after the beginning of each lecture. Latecomers were very annoying.»
- Students that arrives late at the lecture were very anoying this years (worst in my experience of courses). Even though the students are free to come and go as they pleasures, maybe a hint from the lecturer could help the other ones that actually tries to follow the lecture.»
- Course literature was a sleeper =)»
- The last lecture should be omitted.»
- It was a pity that all lectures were at the same times as the lectures in the Advanced Algorithms course. It meant that I did not get to experience Björn as much as I wanted.»
- I though assignment 2 was the hardest one, and I couldn"t really answer it on the exam either, even though I solved it as a Home assignment. The first home assignment is something you can get stuck on for too long time, it was fun, but some modification to it would probably be good.»
- the slides and the teacher»
- the math parts should be taught in more details and with some slower pace and also some examples should be given when teaching the new concepts in order to have a better understanding»
- Can"t think of anything except having hand-ins during the exam week.»
- LFSR aren"t used a lot in practice afaik, seems like all you need to know is that when used as stream ciphers they"re vulnerable to a known plaintext attack»
- The only thing I found disturbing was one of the students that repeatedly asked questions that had already been answered. I guess Björn could talk to these students separatly.»
- I think the examination should be replaced by a project. Cryptography is too much of an interesting subject to be "reduced" to an examination - a project would be much more interesting and useful.»
-
- Perhaps no home assignment the last week.»
- Don"t know. »

14. Additional comments

- Well, I think the course is way too basic, and it feels like we skim through most material without getting into any real depth. I realise cryptograpy is huge and getting into a lot of algorithms and proofs would make it both a larger, more difficult course with more prerequisites, but still I think it could be worth it. Now it almost has the impression of popular science - it"s like Simon Singh"s book deluxe.»
- Keep this guy..»
- Björn is a good teacher»
- Awesome course.»
- The exam was difficult specially the last two questions. I don"t think that the students could be able to fairly evaluated. »
- Great course! Thanks a lot.»
- subjects are different and no one can concentrate on all of them at the same time»
- Good job Björn!»
- von Sydow is an excellent lecturer. He is a very engaged person that makes it fun to go to the lectures. Many people hold courses and you can really see/hear that they have been a teacher for too many years, with von Sydow it still seems like it is the first time he does it, he seems to have fun and really wants us to learn something. Well done!»
- Good course»
-
- Björn did an excellent job with the lectures. Very inspiring.»
