Q & A, due Monday September 24

How long have you spent on the homework assignments?
The first ones weren't too bad; but the last one took eight or nine hours because I got hung up on a few problems like four and five.

Did lecture and the reading prepare you for them?
The decryption process, definitely. There couldn't have been better teaching to prepare for that part. I felt the proofs could have had more focus in class or less focus on the homework. (I've never been good at proofs though, and most people probably didn't have an issue with them)

What has contributed most to your learning in this class thus far?
The step by step process of going through encrypting and decrypting as well as showing us how to use technology to solve them easier.

What do you think would help you learn more effectively or make the class better for you? (This can be feedback for me, or goals for yourself.)
If I did more practice problems from the book, I would be able to solidify processes better.
