Informative. Presented in a pretty unengaging manner.

The slides and data are outdated; the material could be modernized using more infographics instead of traditional and boring PPT slides. Overall, a good intro but a bit boring and in serious need of modernization. I expected a lot more from a Wharton class.

This course is general overview about blockchain subject.

I particularly felt the course mixed complex topics with some basics, making the experience learning thick and simple, thus confused. In other hand, the course is bounded in the US context.

I barely recommend this course to learn the basic of blockchain.
