The content and explanation of the course are great. However, discussions of various concepts with subtle differences may require other forms of presentation. For example, the concept of preimage attack, second preimage attack, and hash collision would better fit into a table rather than in multiple lines of plain texts. Overall, some diagrams, tables, or animations will make the course presentation much clearer.
