Liked that the course was broken into "bite size" pieces with knowledge review along the way. Also thought some of the analogies were very memorable. Would like to see examples of when blockchain is applied successfully in real world examples.

It was a good match. However, I felt that it was missing details of how data stored off chain could be interchanged with existing systems. I wish there was a real example, given that the authors are from Health Nexus.

The way this course breaks down the concepts into highly relatable ways made it significantly easier for me to understand and even feel comfortable explaining the concepts to other "non-technically minded" people like myself. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who only knows that "blockchain is an immutable record on a distributed ledger".

Gives me a more solid understanding of what blockchain is; previously it is a very vague concept to me. I like the quizes, analogies and real-life examples, the course is well thought and carefully put together. Thank you!

Great training. I found the quizzes directly after each learning session interruptive of ability to piece together the various learning sessions. I wonder if 1 quiz at the end of each section could be a different way of doing this?

It explained blockchain easily with use of simple examples and breaking down the course into several sections. Also, the test questions helped me to check if i understood the concepts or not

I don't know much about blockchain and I thought this was a great learning for it. I had to watch some videos a few times, so I could understand the concepts, but overall very interesting!!

Overall course is good. But Pace of delivery is too fast. So, Makes it very difficult to understand in first attempt. So, It should be slow and details should be explained from basic in detail like chapter 5: Blockchain Implications in Healthcare.
By Sharlin Mahmood on 7/16/2020
I really love this course. I was facing a lot of problems understanding blockchain in healthcare, being a noob in this. But it was so easily discussed in this course. Would recommend this course for everyone.

This is an amazing course to familiar me with the aspects of blockchain. A bunch of vivid metaphors makes the complicated concepts much more easier to understand. This course also talks about the challenge and application of using blockchain as a tool in healthcare industry, which is very useful and inspiring. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who is interested in blockchain and healthcare.
