Отзывы учащихся о курсе Cryptocurrency and Blockchain: An Introduction to Digital Currencies от партнера Пенсильванский университет

A decent primer, though I didn't learn much applicable knowledge

Modules 1 to 3 were great! Module 4 was over simplistic.

A good entry-level course, but not that much detailed.

good basic information to start in crypto.

N​eed more real life examples.

Very useful and informative.

Very informative. Thank you

Really interesting course

excellent course

liked beginning.

Decent course

Some concept have been glossed over and not explained in sufficient detail like the sort of puzzles the miners solve and not enough visuals to show how this works. Also some words should be defined beforehand such as nodes, decentralised network, with some corresponding graphics. The last module was read with a rather annoying voice, quite unbearable to listen to, as if there was fire somewhere.

the first three weeks were amazing and I would've definitely rated a full five stars had the course been confined to the first three weeks. As it turns out, week four was unbearable with the slow, dry, monotonous voiceover. I couldn't sit through it past the first video and had to read the slides to understand the content.

Thanks a lot for this course. Kindly expand on module 2 and make it simpler. This module is highly abstract so supplement it with more videos or reading material. Please have the instructor in a smaller window at the corner so that we can see the slides simultaneously.

The material is good but the questions are or too easy and/or badly formulated

Course is good for beginners. The quizzes are too easy.

Informative. Presented in a pretty unengaging manner.

explained in a confusing way

W​harton and Coursera, ARE YOU SERIOUS??? This content is outdated, biased and not holistic!

H​ow can a "rewarded" university teach students a full bag of crap? This should be allowed.

I will give you an example: she is talking about the adaption of cryptocurrency and some reason for it, where the second reason is: you do not like centralised intermediaries for philosophical reason, because you are an libertarian and an anarchist OR third reason: you need to hide from centralised intermediaries because you are engaged in some activities. So basically you will only adapt cryptocurrency if you are an extremist or a cheater which is in contact with fraud or illegal things. WHAT THE HECK. And by the way, only in case you haven’t seen the news for about two years, Bitcoin is at its ATH of 68.000$ approaching 100.000$ and not “about 4000$” like in your videos. Get your content right!

Leave alone the aspect that the content is biased and not fully represented but the way it is presented to the audience is horrible. No Graphics, no interesting way of giving information. Not even links to other resources, e.g. books, articles,… The old lady has no enthusiasm; she is probably falling asleep while ready of the slides.

Embarrassing to say the least!

If you really want to learn hands-on knowledge which is both theoretical and practical and will help you in the near future, go and watch some YouTube videos and do not waste one second watching these videos (and it´s free!).
