Test Improvment, October 2

I think the most important thing that we have studied to this point was how to critically think about codes. By learning the different ways of description algorithms we have seen better ways to think through problems. Most of the math is done by computers, but computers will never think up the methodologies, and that is what I feel that we are learning the most of it.

I would expect to see questions that deal with breaking algorithms, and showing how algorithms are built. This could happen as explanation questions or by doing small examples. I think it should mimic in-class stuff as much as possible.

I need to understand better the proofs of the math behind the cryptography. That has been the thing that I have had the hardest time following.
