The book does very good job of talking about different algorithms and concepts, often times with a very brief historical introduction, and includes thorough descriptions of various popular/important attacks of those concepts. In general it's a book I'd recommend for an introduction to cryptography. You also learn a fair introductory bit of number theory which I really enjoyed.
I also met Dr. Washington, one of the co-authors of this book, who was a very pleasant and energetic person who really enjoys the topic of cryptography.
By the way, where are you taking this course?
