A bit more technical than I expected. However, the lecturer clearly states that earlier lectures building on the basic foundations of blockchain technology is recommended. The attached glossary/index what very helpful in keeping track with all the new terminologies and acronyms. Overall, a very informative presentation geared especially on application and understanding the hurdles that need to be overcome for future implementation.

As noted by the instructor at the outset of this course, the content was more heavily weighted to technical aspects. Hence for my purpose, it was more of a struggle to maintain my attention. Overall good content and instruction.

I like that this course was more then just the basics. Most of the time I haven't walked away from a blockchain discussion really understanding what was going on.

The amount of graphics/data on some of the slides was distracting. I found trying to listen and get benefit from the slide was futile.
