Excellent course! Highly recommended. I took this course as part of the four course specialization. Professor Harvey does an excellent job explaining many nuances to DeFi.

He uses a combination of powerpoint, visuals, analogies and case studies to make the content understandable. The professor teaches with clarity, and passion yet treats the subject fairly offering alternative points of view about the opportunities and risks of DeFi as compared to the current financial system.

I have been introduced to the cryptocurrency and DeFi space a little over 6 months ago. Since that time, I have "fallen down the rabbit hole" so to speak and cannot learn enough about it. These courses provide a strong foundation to explore further for personal investing, and or a career in the space.

Unlike the other courses I took on Coursera related to blockchain and cryptocurriencies (which were also pretty good), these courses felt much more up to date than the others. Being up to date in this space is essential because one year is like 10 years of another field in terms of innovation and how fast the landscape changes.

Specific to this course, it was helpful to learn the history and context of where the DeFi space had its origins and to understand where it is headed. I would recommend this course for those looking to get a better understanding of the key innovations that really caused DeFi to explode in 2020 and beyond.

The course has good mix of technical and finance content which is actually what I was looking out for. The instructor has explained the concepts really well with appropriate examples. This made easier to grasp some of the tricky concepts in DeFi. Overall it was interesting and enjoyable course, kept me hooked throughout.

Course is very insightful. It broadens the scope of understanding the mechanisms involved from minute to complex transactions.

Well taught!! I Suggest this to people who wants to start and know more about DeFi nd Crypto.

This is an in-depth course on the mechanics of DeFi and its underlying protocols. This is a fantastic course that helps one understand the changing dynamics of the financial system architecture. I highly recommend the course and this entire specialization to the changemakers of tomorrow.

Fantastic course. Professor Cam Harvey DeFi series on Coursera is essential learning for anyone wishing to know more about DeFi. Great range of topics and very useful examples. Best learning I have seen in this space.

Amazing Class! I have learned so much and still have a lot more to learn but I am convinced we are looking at the next revolution. in 30 years people will be talking about this time like the internet in the 90s.

Cam is fantastic communicator, he is a master of explaining conceptual elements, but he has a breadth of technical and financial acumen that means he will go deeper into topics and apply them to the real world.

DeFi Primitives gives an excellent idea of the exciting new world we are heading to in decentralized finance. Also highlights the need to contain energy costs and carbon emissions as we go along.

I really enjoyed how this course was taught and gained a tremendous amount of insight throughout. The material was presented with clarity and depth, making complex concepts both accessible and engaging. I feel fortunate to have learned from someone with such a strong and respected body of work—his experience and contributions to the field truly come through in the way the course is structured and delivered. The bio speaks for itself.

I highly recommend this course for beginners, who are starting their career in blockchain, web3.0, or Defi or entrepreneurs, consultants, and managers. This course opens up the doors to endless possibilities of solutions in the emerging world that Defi is going to solve. Prof. Cambell has explained all the important concepts in the most effective and intriguing way.

This course is well designed. The professor has done an excellent job in explaining a complex subject with practical and easy to understand approach. It is also a great blance between theoritecal knowledge and practical real-life application. The addition of historical fun facts/stroies makes it even more perfect! Highly recommened it!

This course is very informative and it has something very useful and is AI making more detail with more scenarios and real examples to get more inputs, however I would like some topics could be update due to currently DeFi has gone with a bunch of new ways and resources that would be great to get in this course. thanks

me parecio bastante interesante y facil de asimilar como funcionan los DeX, Smart contracts, y las flash loan. tambien estuvo bastante comprensible la forma en que se explica como se ejecutan los algoritmos para crear el Hash tanto en Bitcoin como en ethereum

This was one of the best and most relevant courses I have taken so far. In-depth enough to esatblish a strong foundfation of essential knowledge and accessible enough to facilitate a working grasp of the basics and some advanced topics.

Absolutely amazing course! The material is taught at the perfect pace and contains the perfect amount of detail. The professor is also fantastic and explains concepts very well and is easy to understand

Great class giving us a very clear concise overview of the Defi space. I am currently wokring my own project called Fate Finance - which has some very unique protocols.

Excellent for anybody who want to lean about Decentralized Finance. As I am an old Blockchain learner the 4th week of the course was way too easy.

Thanks,

Great content and explanation by Prof. Harvey! Love how he explain the terms using simple and understandable analogies that is applicable.

The AI help tool was also nice to stay involved. With attention deficit I struggle with focus but I am working on it.
