Great introduction to the very complex world of Blockchain innovation. Too much information was crammed into this module, especially in the last part. The examples and real life stories were excellent. Otherwise the content was too abstract and had very few illustrations to explain these complex, paradigm shifting concepts. Once again, there was no list for any further readings to enable this either.

Before I completed this course, I was in need of a broad crash course on blockchain and cryptocurrencies which this course definitely delivered. I liked the first three parts ("weeks) more as they delivered more details, hands on facts i.e. mathematical formulas, and got straighter to the point for my taste. I am very happy that I completed this course and I would surely recommend it to my friends.

Some of the content, such as Growth Model, Portfolio theory, capital asset pricing model, complex and could benefit from links and further reading suggestions. Use cases could benefit from more specific practical examples and where they have been used. again suggested links or company / start up examples, fin tech examples etc could be a useful start (as opposed to "that's what google is for"!

Great course! Having already taken a blockchain course and being fairly knowledgeable on the topic, I felt all of this to be extremely useful information and pretty reinforcing on a lot of what I had learned in the previous online class. I also think this built on top of that learning, especially in the fourth module, as I feel I learned a lot of new information.

Great course with wide coverage on key concepts and developments about blockchain technology, cryptocurrency and regulatory eco systems and its challenges. Faculties are amazing knowledge and expertise on the topics discussed and quizzing contents are easy to relate. I feel enriched with great knowledge received from finest minds on earth (i.e. Wharton)

I'd like to see a little more detail and examples of how companies are using blockchain; also would like to learn more about what is keeping blockchain technology from becoming more mainstream. I did enjoy the course and it reinforced a lot of the basics of cryptocurrencies, so my overall knowledge of the technology is better. Thank you.

One gains significant valuable knowledge about how cryptocurrency and blockchain operates and what are its challenges!

However, in the examination of cryptocurrency as an asset, one is required to be acquainted with (and understand) statistical notions and finance functions, which are not explained sufficiently..

Quite informative on how blockchain works and its properties. To fully understand this section one needs to do some outside reading that some sections fully sink in. The only thing I wish that could be improved is that some parts need to be updated to the current state of cryptocurrencies.

Professor Wachter was great and actually explained how things worked. It seems like the lecturers did not coordinate much because there was quite a bit of overlap/repetition in content. As in the other module, a number of mistakes and spelling errors in the slides which is frustratring.

It was really an educative course on cryptocurrency and blockchain , it has made me understand blockchain better, i would just like to mention that some of the quiz questions should be checked since i found fault in two of the questions. Thank you

The course explains the concept of cryptocurrencies and blockchains together with how they are being used and how they can be used in the FinTech scene. it also addresses the challenges in accounting for cryptocurrencies

I got a big picture of this new industry, including the common biases, what kinds of niche industries in the ecosystem and the potential opportunities. I like this class! It is my first class in this field.

Great Course. Please update the course content to reflect the current status of the blockchain (2023 vs 2018/19). A lot has happened within the blockchain ecosystem since this course was developed.

a great overall introduction to this area. Well structured and presented. The additional speakers were a bonus and cemented the argument why blockchain and digital currencies are here to stay,

Pros:

Simple. Compact. Suitable to touch the surface of the technology.

Cons:

No assignments. A lot of names (organizations, terms) stacked. Lack of even simple CS-related explanations.

Good course work and information for beginners. Would be good to have some modules that can cover the more recent happenings in the block chain world and some focus on DeFI.

a very nice course!! grabs interest of students but it is from the economics point if view ,there should have been more of computer science stuff too.overall a nice course.

Really enjoyed the last module by Sarah Hammer. 2nd Module was a little tech heavy. I would suggest more visual information to help keep the content more dynamic.

Good course, clear and useful contents. Both Jessica and Sarah are giving useful contents. It goes into details about how cryptocurrency works, pretty useful.

Week 3 and Week 4 are drub, as I was mainly interested in learning about cryptos and blockchains, whereas they discussed mainly about generice finace field

Good introductory course to Blockchain/Crypto technologies and digital currencies/assets but it needs updating... a lot of things have happened since 2019.

Week 1 and 4 are awesome for a beginner in BC but week 2 and 3 require more focus, right now it looks more technical and less informative.

A glossary would be fine, because the teachers don't use vocabulary that average people would use. The vocabulary is super complex.

This course offered me a great overview of blockchain and cryptocurrency in a short time, as well as application perspectives.

The course is good for those who has background in finance as they concepts in investment and portfolio management.
