Good overview and well researched content.

The course was so good and informative .

Very much simple and easy to understand

very insightful and very informative.

Es un buen curso.

It does provide a good overview, but needs to be updated. For example, when the course was created Ethereum followed PoW and though course does say it will move to PoS, now in 2024 it has moved over. Then there was the question of price volatility in the quiz of module 4, it is very subjective and depends upon the time horizon, and definitely in the recent past the trend has been downwards.

I didn't realize this is 4 course class! Therefore for a while i thought the professor didn't go into any details of a lot concept. i honestly didn't feel like I learnd anything i didn't already know. He focused a lot on the very obvious kinda of theory and touched superficially on the concepts of a lot technology. However i found it much better when I watch in 2x speed.

The concepts are mostly read from the slides and haven't been explained well. You tube has better explained content available free of cost

I got to know more about crypto its origin and its working. However, some of the contents were repetitive

unacceptable level of transcription errors. A pity, because the lecturer knows his stuff.

THe course could have had more examples from say insurance to explain the concept better

Good course. - 2 star for the uwarranted bashing of BTC

too many definitions at once without going into details

Very good to gain bascis of how the block chain works.

Just read the document, no need to watch the videos.

it's a little dated at this point, needs an update

Great introduction looking forward to the detail

Very basic course. Audio volume is very low.

Good but basic introduction to DEFI

The slides are not clearly visible

its k

It's not bad, but it could be a lot better. First of all, it's slightly dated, because Prof Harvey talks about 2022 being the future. But what is more of a letdown is how he speaks at a high level of abstraction and doesn't work in real world examples of what he's talking about. I think this is a common failure of people who teach tech. I recall back in the pre-Internet 1980s people were chatting about how great it would be when computers could "talk to each other." I asked why. Because then you can access databases, they said. What's a database, I asked. Well, they said, it's like the phone book. I answered, but I already have a phone book. I was coming at it from a point of complete innocence. I may well have been a farmer in 1850 and they might have been describing the internal combustion engine. If they could have simplified it into a real world scenario, it might have come to life. "When computers can talk to each other, you can call up the computer at the Barnstable Registry of Deeds (on Cape Cod, 88 miles from my house and a 2-hour drive one way). Every document they have will be digitized, so you can run a title exam for a piece of real estate from your desktop computer, eliminating a long drive." Oh. As I said, it wasn't bad, but I'm left with lots of new abstract concepts swimming around in my head. Harvey should have led me to firm ground.

Very basic introduction. Could have been better with some illustrations. Lots of slides with lots of bullets that author voices over- fortunately its not just read out as is. Lots of "DeFi this, DeFi that, you can combine tokens to create new tokes, you can fork away" without explaining any of that. No sound theory so far, feels more like a hyped DeFi worshop posing to give some balanced angle. No math, no code, no software, no details on protocols. Not bad for getting a quick overview of buzz words, but thats it. Planning to try the next one in the series. Hoping that would be better.
