The course has potential but suffers from several critical issues that undermine its value. Firstly, most of the links provided throughout the material lead to dead pages (Error 404). This is frustrating, especially when trying to follow additional resources or explore examples. Secondly, the Solidity version used in the course is extremely outdated (v0.4). Considering that the language is now at v0.8, this is a major shortcoming. Solidity has evolved significantly, with numerous improvements and best practices introduced in recent versions. Learning an outdated version not only feels irrelevant but also risks instilling poor coding habits that are incompatible with modern smart contract development. The videos are another disappointment. This gives the impression that the content lacks depth and is more focused on rushing through topics than providing a comprehensive understanding. To make matters worse, the evaluations at the end of each lecture are overly simplistic and sometimes naive, making the learning experience feel incomplete and disjointed. In summary, while the course has its merits, it feels outdated and poorly structured. Updating the material to reflect the current state of Solidity and improving the video content would significantly enhance its value.

The course is easy if you have a basic knowledge in programming. It's outdated since it uses version 0.4.x of solidty and references an old Remix IDE. However if you change the compiler version you shouldn't have any problem following the course. I rate it 3 stars since it's pretty basic and the concepts are not explained in real depth. The quizes are not that great and the final assigment is almost trivial since it basically tells you what to complete. The optional docs are not that great and most of them point to the language documentation. The professor is obviously reading the script so her explanations don't feel natural. All in all, is a mediocre course.

This course helps us to gain basic knowledge in solidity, and makes a way for us to make ground works to gain more knowledge in solidity and developing smart contracts.The reason I am giving 3 stars is videos is short and tend to rush the topic, if you already have bit knowledge in smart contract and you came just for certificate it will be helpful for you, but for slow learns like me it is bit difficult for me.But still I would recommend you to take this course, because you get at least a knowledge about solidity and in future you can learn more

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's an awesome course. The biggest problem I faced was that Solidity language as well as the Remix IDE keeps getting updates every now and then and the Course us using a much older version of them (comparatively).

It would be great it this course could be updated with the latest version so that it becomes easier for us to understand and be updated :)

The final project was very difficult to troubleshoot. When tests failed there is zero guidance or info on what unit tests were being run and what specifically failed. Solving this was like finding a needle in a haystack. Honestly, this method of learning is is not great as their is no explanation on what i did wrong.

Great work explaining and all but the only place i feel that could be done better is the code review part.The Instructor is just reading the code parts I feel it would be much more intresting to see live coding and designing the smart contracts with a jist of its idea at the begining.

It makes it very distracting to listen to the teachers pronunciations of the word "development", "events", amongst many others to the point I had to enable subtitles and read along while watching the lectures. The stress on the English language is completely off

Basic course on solidity. Week 3 is the important one. Two first weeks are very basic, learning basic datatype, structs and all that. If you know Java or any other programming language is not so usefull. Week 4 is best practices that are helpfull for future work

The course videos were good. And so was the reading material. But I expected a more challenging version of the exercises that were provided. Since this is a course that is taught by someone from the university, I hoped for a more challenging exercises.

The best part is explaining the stuffs are superb but the problem lies in the code I working on 0.8.0 but the codes that are provided is deprecated that is actually taking a lot of time to search and correct it please atleast update the codes.

Needs a little work - programming tasks/assignments during the first 4 lessons to practice for the final assignment. Incremental learning instead of waiting to the end of the course with one big ass

please to describe more about solidity, since the programming project more complicated than the videos and i searched on other websites to understand solidity language basics

Best regards ..

In general course content and delivery was good. I still wish the final assignments are more challenging and require more time to solve so that a real-world experience can be gained.

Final assignment had issues and I didn't get any support for timely completion. May be there should be a way to highlight the exact problem if file is not getting complied propoerly

This course was a bit difficult to follow at times because it is pretty outdated. I would highly recommend updating the content, as the instructions were incredibly confusing.

The course is outdated. Etheremum blockchain to run a smart contract has changed a lot now the even the website looks different but still it's good to learn the concept only

The material felt more out of date than blockchain basics, i think because Remix keeps changing. A warning about this early on instead of later would have helped.

Course materials need to be updated. Uses old version of solidity, so not up to most modern standards and features. Some quiz questions seem irrelevant

Less interesting than the "Basics" session (from a developer point of view).

Yet the major solidity words are explained.

Without at least an indicator of which area of final project fails grader it gets difficult to know what to look for

I didn't like the content of this course. The assignments were boring. The explanations were very superficial.
