About the Course
Top reviews
Excellent course! Provided a good overview of how smart contracts adds a layer of value to the evolution in blockchain technology. The hands on programming experience was quite helpful as well.
Thank you; excellent starting point so I can have a good foundation to learn more Solidity programming; the discussion forum is helpful when I submit the code at the end of the project.

•Good content, but I wish it was presented better. The teacher blandly reads out from a prompter.
By Maulik P
•The explanation of the keywords in the example smart contracts should be given more clearly.
By Nofil A
•I think there should be more practice to get hands on solidity .

•Nice course but there is need for improvement in course content
By Marco M
•I think there should be more exercise.

•I leant a lot, with real challanges

•The course was too developer-oriented, and too basic at that. A lot of topics were about coding style guidelines (which I do not particularly care for), or concepts from object-oriented programming that I was already familiar with. I was hoping to get a better insight into how smart contracts work "under the hood" (e.g., EVM design and execution); instead I got the "black box" perspective from a programmer's point of view. Some of the questions and/or answer options in the quizzes were ambiguous, resulting in mistakes that are merely due to unclear question/answer formulation.

•The course is good but the content to read is too less to understand everything. It becomes a necessity for a person to refer to a different source like Youtube.
By Ashwin
•The instructor does not know what she is doing or saying. She does not explain the concepts properly. This course is useless. I would expect a refund.
By GINGER S
•As I wasn't had any coding background it was hard for me to learn solidity
there are some topic which should have been more elaborated :(

•It feels like the professor is reading from a text book!

•Passing this course is all based on completing a programming assigment in Week 4. If you fail that assigment you will fail the course. So, if you don't have a programming background and/or interest in learning to develop smart contracts (not simply understanding their role and use) then you might struggle at the very end. I feel that this should have been made clear in the course description; I want to learn about Blockchain but have little to no interest in becoming a smart contract developer (for which this course will not prepare you, anyway).

•The resources for the exercises have not been described at all..I was unable to find the .sol files or the IDE installer. Bounced around in the discussion thread and noticed that others too were having the same issues but looks like you have decided not to take the inputs seriously.
By DIVYANG M
•It was a really bad experience, the instructor seems to be reading everything from the screen placed near the camera, and there was no clear explanation,

•Unfortunately, no support is given to the learners. I had too much time for just asking questions that have never been answered. Wasted my time and money
By Javier L C C
•Very basic, it was more informative than practical
