This is awful. In the final project, the miner never generated ether. Therefore, flunked. I understand it perfectly. I couldn't get the ethereum application to run correctly. I posted this issue to the forum and read other posts, followed the troubleshooting tips and still doesn't work. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THIS CLASS OR EVEN TALK TO A HUMAN BEING. if you aren't going to have contact information for technical issues, you are setting some students (like me) up to fail. That is shameful.

limited to no support form the TA. The end assignment requirement was a high end computer which wasn't specified before. waste of effort.

The program required for the final assignement will not run

Everything in the course was as simple as crisp as possible. Except for the assignment!!

The content was good, but the links for supplemental content need to be reviewed and updated- a few are not available anymore. Also, the final project is buggy. The first account on each node would not activate, and the ethereum was added to the first account on the first node, so I was unable to send a transaction. That's why I got 90% on the final- it didn't work.

Many broken and outdated links and resources.

Week 4 assignment's environment setting is a very tedious task. try to make it user friendly.

The final project was not properly structured.

Really learned a lot about the fundamentals of blockchain, being a software engineer looking into blockchain. It just got me up to speed with the underlying workflow of blockchain and more. loved it.

It's a very good basics course for the beginners and enthusiasts to move ahead in their career towards the Blockchain specialization

As expected. Basics covered. Final assignment requires a VM which in some cases causes issues. Overall, a useful course.

A really great course, interesting material that was well presented. Totally recommended.

Easy Explantion and All tasks went with ease due simple lessons

Beginne friendly and highly informative. Many links were broken/not working, they need to be modified or removed.

This course was "ok" in my opinion. Its really a shame that Coursera does not have quality checks running to ensure course material provided in their courses are up to date. Throughout the entire specialization, many links where non-functional since resources where not available anymore. Nonetheless, the course provides a solid foundation for learning more about blockchain technology, in my view.

it is of great help but why is the course not updated?

The course should have more Elaboration on Bitcoin

Project is broken.

Should make more use of better visuals.

Videos are way too short and basically reading a reference text. Not sure what the benefit of taking this course is compared to buying an audiobook on the subject

Extremely dry for something that was actually created on very practical basis.

Hopefully it will improve in next courses

Pros: This course does cover blockchain basics, and provides an okay structure for exploring the space.

Cons: The course content (lectures, quizzes, and assignments) are uninspired and rote - the professor doesn't understand how to educate. Far below the quality I expect from Coursera.

Question in stile `select the wrong ending for sentence` are super confusing and not widely used anymore in nowadays e-learning anymore.

Boring, and quick, minimal information, doesn't actually teach how smart contracts work.

not clear enough content

Bad presentation...

very superficial
