Explained everything in detail. I did have to do some of my own research to fully understand but it was overall great! Highly recommend for anyone who is trying to be more involved in the Blockchain.

Decent course

Some concept have been glossed over and not explained in sufficient detail like the sort of puzzles the miners solve and not enough visuals to show how this works. Also some words should be defined beforehand such as nodes, decentralised network, with some corresponding graphics. The last module was read with a rather annoying voice, quite unbearable to listen to, as if there was fire somewhere.

Thanks a lot for this course. Kindly expand on module 2 and make it simpler. This module is highly abstract so supplement it with more videos or reading material. Please have the instructor in a smaller window at the corner so that we can see the slides simultaneously.

great content but is dated and needs to be updated, furthermore research seems to focus on the US stats consider a more diverse base (i.e. include findings from developing counties, which also have the fastest growing fintech market)

The professors were great. The class is outdated though. A lot has changed, especially the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Also the laws regrading crypto and the fact that IRS, has now classified crypto for tax puproses.

This course is general overview about blockchain subject.

I particularly felt the course mixed complex topics with some basics, making the experience learning thick and simple, thus confused. In other hand, the course is bounded in the US context.

I barely recommend this course to learn the basic of blockchain.
