Abstract
While some Computer Science subjects can be taught from
textbooks and lectures, some materials are inherently suitable for medium-term
class exercises. Teaching the new topic G53CAS Cryptography and Security
at the School of Computer Science and Information Technology in the University
of Nottingham in the second semester (February to May 2000) has shown that a
competitive, group-based assessed exercise can motivate and interest
substantially more than the usual lectures, giving the students an effective
and memorable learning experience.
