Learner Reviews & Feedback for Smart Contracts by University at Buffalo

Good course

But the coding could've been explained better, some complex problems are covered in a light manner

A strong base has to built on solidity first, then the programs would be easier to understand

The course is really good. But the final programming assignment wasn't challenging enough. Although I might be judging too early considering this is a part of a specialization.

Overall a good experience, but if more help available on course project, it would have been better. No response from teaching/supporting staff in forum. Otherwise, it's good.

The Programming part could have been better. Almost, everything was written and didn't help me much in learning any new thing or gave me experience to write code on my own.

Great course. I hope the working excercises would have been more (But may be because I code a lot). But for beginners who have no idea of coding the course is excellent.

The final project was a little difficult because if doesn't show where the mistake is, besides that the course is just great to have a first experience using IDE remix

Everything great, however the last assignment could have some more guidance, or stepped approach. I had to do a lot of guessing instead of being sure of what to do.

Good class. It can be even better if more coding assignments can be added. Currently there is only one coding assignment, which makes the course a little too easy.

The submission of the last assignment was unclear which took a lot of time. The rest of the course is informative and clear. All concepts are taught very well.

Some concepts are under-explained, but an overall strong foundation to Smart Contracting. The course directs students to many external resources that can help.

Coding exercises should be build up a bit more active and broad.

Videos could be recorded a bit louder. Not easy to hear on laptop without external speakers.

Better than the first course but still a little too high-level and easy. Wish they actually got into the more advanced features of the Solidity language.

For further improvement the programming assignments, should be downloadable as text files. As copying from the PDF is tedious and error prone.

This was really eye-opening. I especially enjoyed the resources after each lesson, as they took me off into the wide world of smart contracts.

The course was really good, the only reason I don't give five stars is because one the final exam the questions/tasks were not really clear.

project lacked some direction as the functionality was not that clear through out had to go to various outside sources in order to complete

As a concise intro - it is perfect. I did think it could go a bit more into the 'why' rather than the how, but overall - very effective

Useful course to understand the fundementals of Solidity language and the Remix platform. Some more hands on exercise will be helpful.

Good introduction to Smart contracts as a concept.

Good overview and approach to designing Solidity based smart contracts on Ethereum.

Although I have some experience with programming, but many concepts in smart contracts are new and need some time to slowly digest.

This course was surely one that provided me with the documentation and the tools in order to execute and develop a smart contract.

Very informative, however the final project was a bit finicky being handled by the autograder due to whitespace formatting.

Good for an introduction to Solidity. If you're familiar with coding, might as well read it yourself, will be much faster.

I learnt a lot about Solidity and smart contracts, It was also really useful to have the first experience with REMIX IDE.

I expected more coding assignment but overall it is good. And intructor seems nice and full of knowledge of blockchain
