It is very practical, and loved the Augur, Grid+, and Escrow which is not usually mentioned in any other blockchain courses

The content for IPFS hashgraph is a bittooadvanced. for non-cs major, but the final project is easy to follow and enabled me to understand IPFS better than just wathingthe videos.

Respected teaching professor Bina Ramamurthy madam is a very good instructor. Her English accent way of delivering speech is very clear.This course is perfect for making a very good foundation on decentralized technology. I will be very thankful to her and Coursera and my university AIUB for sponsoring my online education.
[ I do have a complain. During the final assignment I saw that IPFS web UI was updated. But the assignment was designed according to the old structure of IPFS. As a result I was facing some problems. Then I checked the Discussion Forums and saw many students were asking for the same problem. But no one is replying the solutions.]
Thank You.

Great foundational course! This course offers solid theoretical knowledge and is a good introduction to blockchain concepts. However, it would benefit from more hands-on, practical exercises. Some parts feel a bit outdated, so I recommend complementing it with external practice. For a more complete learning experience, I highly suggest watching Patrick Collins' free course on YouTube. If you're new to blockchain, just the first two hours of his course will help you understand the key concepts covered here more clearly. Together, both resources make a strong combination.

This Blockchain Specialization course helps me from beginner to Intermediate understanding of how Blockchain P2P technology works in decentralized network, and what's the main diffrence between Bitcoin and Ethereum Blockchain, and how efficent is Ethereum Blockchain in compare to Bitcoin Blockchain by using the high-level approch of uinsg Smart Contracts using Solidity Programimng language.

Very interesting to see what is happening in the blockchain space. This industry is moving so fat that the course needs to be updated on a regular basis. I am happy I followed it and got a deeper and better perspective on the possibilities.

No issues with course content. A few hurdles faced during the final project due to the difference in hashes and the changes in the UI which were not taken into consideration for the quiz at the end of the course.

The course was very good but Hashgraph was very hard to understand for beginners. I know the concept was already complex, but the explanation could be better in my opinion. Other then that it was very good.

The course provides good overview of various Blockchain platforms, however this course is recorded as of 2018, so it does not provide any coverage to the newer blockchain platforms.

The course was quite resourceful holistically. Connection with instructor was lacking due lack in eye contact ; almost as if the material is being read out from monitor.

It is always hard to cover such a wide topic in a single course. An update to reflect 2020 (so much has changed) would do well.

I enjoyed going through the various existing platforms. However, the Hashgraph explanations were unsatisfactory.

Final quiz is using invalid answer alternatives and deviates from instructions. Otherwise a good course.
