Comment:

His lectures are a little dry, but as interesting as theoretical cryptography can get. I can tell he cares about students. The class did terribly on the 2nd quiz, but the next lecture he calmly and gently encouraged us to review before the final, and identified the key concepts we should review. I really appreciated that calm encouragement.

Comment:

Made it a point to explain every aspect of a topic. Homework was challenging in a good way, but it wasn't graded. Nice guy, tries to answer every question and clear doubts. He takes long time to explain some trivial concepts and then glosses or rushes over some more complicated ones. Explanations also jump around a lot; needs more structure.

Comment:

This is not easy class but the professor is good. If you don't understand something just see him during office hours and he will explain everything. After taking this course my interest to cryptography has been increased. And the material I've learned has helped me in other classes.

Comment:

Lectures are vague and often disorganized. Brief moments of clarity but for the large part drifts through topics without properly explaining how they work or how they are used. Trails off, mumbles, and can't make a point to save his life.
