Simply superb. I haven't found this much detailed account of Blockchain Platforms or Blockchain anywhere else on Coursera. Not even in the courses from some of the leading universities of the world.

Great course, I find tech like Hashgraph really amazing and it can be a point of improvement in terms of scalability and transaction validation in the future in case of bottle neck!

It could have been explained more efficiently. Don't get me wrong, the course is awesome. But I personally felt the course should have been more beginner friendly.

This is a great course to get the high-level understanding about blockchain platforms.

I wish if there are more hands-on assignments.

The course might be relevant in 2017, but now it's horribly outdated. Many of the described platforms disappeared or mutated into something completely different. Still some useful information

Felt a bit bored in this course. A demo application making in Hyperledger and IPFS could be more interesting, also connecting IPFS to Ethereum and Hyperledger could have been amazing.

No discrete information about the platforms are given in the course. The course can be developed further with a detailed basic hands on tutorial for new platforms.

In some points, the course content is too theoretical. Instruction for using the program should be more clearer and specific.

A Mixed Learning Journey: Blockchain Specialization Course

Embarking on the blockchain specialization course was an enlightening experience, allowing me to acquire new insights and expand my knowledge. However, I must rate it with 2 stars due to a few shortcomings. The course materials and content unfortunately felt outdated, utilizing older versions of technology. Additionally, a greater emphasis on practical exercises and projects would have enhanced the learning experience. Furthermore, the extensive length of the reading resources proved to be a challenge. With improvements in these areas, the course has the potential to truly shine.

While learning is great in this course, the course is not at all maintained. Many of the materials are outdated. Students will have to find a hard time finishing the project because there is not much help available.

Я закончил курс немного позднее.Но хотелось бы ещё раз поблагодарить за предоставленную возможность пройти его бесплатно. Это много для меня значило.Прошёл курс позднее потому что за это время на платформе waves я написал dapp аукцион.начал изучать ton блокчейнНачал изучать Wasm wasiНаписал игру монополия для которой скоро смарт контракт буду писать.Собрал веб компоненты. Для того что бы всё, что я вам описывал в следующем году уже реализовать.Моя тестовая страничка: )https://web3-monopoly.web.app/

Thank you very much.

It is my first time to learn this lesson. And it is very important for me to open my eye and get know the advanced technologies. In the future, i will take more time and effort to practice again and again.(Actually, i still cannot open my ipfs files and run it successfully.)
