It is very practical, and loved the Augur, Grid+, and Escrow which is not usually mentioned in any other blockchain courses

A Mixed Learning Journey: Blockchain Specialization Course

Embarking on the blockchain specialization course was an enlightening experience, allowing me to acquire new insights and expand my knowledge. However, I must rate it with 2 stars due to a few shortcomings. The course materials and content unfortunately felt outdated, utilizing older versions of technology. Additionally, a greater emphasis on practical exercises and projects would have enhanced the learning experience. Furthermore, the extensive length of the reading resources proved to be a challenge. With improvements in these areas, the course has the potential to truly shine.

The Module, in general, is helpful. It is a shame that the final test is exclusively based on IPFS with commands that cannot be run exactly as the documentation is stating (for instance, the web ui is not working in the VM, the server is starting it is accessible, but APIs cannot be reached). I was not able to perform some of the actions, so I guessed.

Never liked the approach where professor forces you to learn one specific app. And tests are poorly designed. Assembling questions for specific version of application is poor choice. Students are left with choice to pick newer version for passing tests and tests are not aligned with new versions.

While learning is great in this course, the course is not at all maintained. Many of the materials are outdated. Students will have to find a hard time finishing the project because there is not much help available.

The associated english dialog is often incorrect and confusing, the end project has not been kept up to date with the ipfs UI. for example there is no Connection Tab in the IPFS.

Very bad course. Jumps between high level boring specs to demos with too many details, the high level and demos just don't connect. also the "Module Objective" and "Summary" slides takes too much time from a few minutes sections, making them feel strange and old fashioned.
