Learner Reviews & Feedback for Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies by Princeton University
About the Course
Top reviews
I've gained a strong knowledge of Bitcoin's architecture but wish this course was updated to include the developments of the last two years. A few lectures on alt-coins would have been useful as well.
Great course, a very broad and in-depth overview of concepts surrounding cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Would be great to have an update of course; perhaps once the ICO craze is over? (-:

•The course covered a lot of things, but the programming assessments are very poor. In first the assessments the bonus task is basically not about blockchain, but rather about graphs. I would recommend adding to course more small coding assignments to get familiar with blockchain and bitcoin platform in a more practical way.

•This was a tedious and boring course! the assignments were impossible to decipher and I fail to see the end result of the point of the coins. Wouldn't it make more sense to have some form of physical currency or bartering instead?
By RACHEL C
•I have only done the first module and found the assignment far too difficult, i really didn't understand how to do it, and I read that it's not compulsory but then why add it to the course?
By David N
•Lectures were extremely good, but assignments and graders were very low quality and difficult to decipher requirements from. Professors and TAs were not active in the forums.

•Data from 2014 isn't useful in today's environment. Although fundamentals are clearly valid tpday, an update to course is mandatory

•This course was a little too advanced for me and not quite what I had in mind.

•Not a big fan of this course. I wanted to learn about the different types of currencies and their usage, but these guys go way too deep into the code structure, even making the 1st assignment code based. Just because I am interested in cars, doesn't mean I necessarily have to know how to build one. I merely need to know some base facts, it's safety, handling, fuel economy, size etc. Their approach is way more mundane and impractical for daily needs of working with Cryptocurrencies, going way too deep into early theory and applications.

•I saw initially in the comment section about the course that it talked about Java a bit, but I was under the impression that we would only be discussing it, not throwing some code together for our first assignment. I know the basics for Python, HTML, and CSS, but I really don't have time to learn Java just to pass this class. I was hoping the class would be more about the basics of cryptocurrency so I could have a better understanding for it. I'm extremely disappointed.

•The course was just fine until the first exercise. I have never seen such poorly written API and sloppily written explanations. Good luck trying to figure that $*** out. Really way to explain one set of material in the lectures and then give an exercise on entirely different material, are you insane? And in Java? Are you serious?
By Gabriel D A
•Difficult to understand. Teachers were too stiff and not very warm to explain. Concepts were too technical and sometimes was difficult to understand the general ideas. Assignments were not very good explained and it was difficult to understand and the errors were not very helpful.
By Ramon B
•It states that you do not have to be a programmer to do this course, but the first week exam is to code. I have no clue what it is stating so i must unenroll from this course. I thought i would learn about cryptocurrencies and how the technology will impact future business.
By Fedor S
•I think that it would be a good idea to improve the grader, release more informative assignment information (take a look at the Algorithms course for example) and lecture materials in pdf format.
By Sristi D
•I Passed this course with 96% but did not achieve any certificate by doing this course. I request to provide me a certificate. please provide me the course certificate for this course
By Nicolas A D C
•The calification machine is broken. So in week 4 you cant get a good grade, so this course is unfinishable. NOT WORTH IT
By Raul C
•Especificar los requisitos mínimos para el curso puesto que los ejercicios son de programación.
By Deleted A
•Very outdated. Since 2014 the content about fees, mining, forks, etc change a lot
By Amaury A
•Really messy to re-enroll despite many attempts to reach out.
By Deepak P G
•Too fast not spending enough time on the concepts
By SUBHAJIT D
•Can not get any certificate
