Quotes:

Way more engaging and interesting than I expected!
This course should not collide with other security-related courses. A steadier communication channel with the lecturer would be appreciated.
The lecturer was amazing. He was very engaged, and made every bit more interesting than it would be to study on my own. The content of the course was very relevant and had a strong connection between the modules. The way we were evaluated over the semester(Home assignments) were beautifully carried out. Going to see other students’ presentations was really nice. And the way the lecturer made us feel like stars during the presentations also helped.
