This course is very easy to understand. Even for beginners and non-tech people like me it has just the right amount of tech talk and complexity. All the aspects were covered brilliantly by both the instructors, and I actually enjoyed learning new things!

In my opinion this course sometimes contained the questions not related to the discussed topics, though sometimes the answers could be guessed without even listening or reading.
Also sometimes it seems that the information was repeated and it could be shorter.
But generally speaking, the course gives the overview of the Blockchain features and is considered valuable due to provided the materials and explanation of the lecturers.
