This course was very informative and interesting. My only suggestion would be to split it up into two courses, as I sometimes felt rushed with different aspects of the material.

What an amazing professor! "Dave" really did give me some hope about teaching at U.Va. again with his enthusiasm and overall commitment to his students; it's a pity I didn't get to take any of his classes earlier in my career(albeit this is his first undergrad class.)
The materials were exciting and interesting, but most importantly the overall extra things he did to make the class great, which included keeping a great website and having daily manifests signals he went above and beyond what any professor I've ever had has done.
Cheers to Dave!

I think the material taught could use a little adjusting, but all of that was said in ps4. I thought the projects were great.

I thought a little too much focus was on cryptographic techniques. I thought the latter half of the semester was more relevant and interesting.

Security was a VERY interesting class. Prof Evans was a fantastic teacher and the material was very well covered. I am very happy that it was offered this semester and that I took it.

Great professor, great class. Highly recommended to all CS majors. The professor was brilliant and really understood the material. moreover, he was very interested in the material and really tried to impart a sense of importance of the subject to all of us. Professor Evans was the only professor I had this semester who made an effort to know all of us on a personal level and made lectures relatively fun and interesting.

I really enjoyed the course, its structure and presentation. I learned more than I thought I would. The course was challenging but the goals for the course were attainable.

This course was, by far, the most interesting and best taught course I have taken in my life. While I am interested in computer security, what set this course apart from others was the quality of teaching. Professor Evans was able to entertain the students while still conveying the information. In addition to what was presented in class, links to additional resources were always provided for students who wanted to investigate a particular subject further than was nessasary for the class. Finally, he was able to make the course even more interesting by addressing current issues when they were in the news ( election protocols, trick or treat ).

Evans did a fantastic job with this course. Although most all of my real learning took place when I tried to tackle his problem sets, his lectures were great, I would never miss one. They served to introduce me to the general ideas and also to get me excited about the topic material in general through humor and examples of how it affected me. He was always very prepared for class. His assignments encouraged me to think creatively in using what I had gotten from readings and his lectures. I hope he gets to teach more classes. I would take them solely because he is the professor.

This has been one of the best courses I have taken. Professor Evans is very knowledgable about computer security and is able to teach it very well.

It was an interesting class. I'd like to take a follow-up class if one is ever offered.

Prof. Evans is awesome. This course is fantastic. Evans is a brilliant person and makes us all smarter just listening to him. His assignments were challenging and original. They made you think (something other profs have a hard time with)
thanks for a great class, Prof Evans. You rock.

The material for the first half of the semester was developed very well and provided a practical knowledge of cryptography. I think the second half of the course covered too many different topics, and consequently did not provide enough detail about specific topics to develop a practical understanding of the material.

In summary, this class was excellent! You covered a lot of topics (unfortunately, some had to be covered quickly) but made them all accessible. You knew when to lecture, when to bring in props, and when to bring in guest speakers. This class was by far and away my favorite this semester. My only complaint is that at times, the workload for the course was a little heavy when taking this course with EE 435 and TCC 401. Oh well, I'd still do it over again if I had the chance.
