Great course, but it was recorded in 2017; it's time to update the materials.
This was an amazing course. I have spent my whole time learning, listening and reading it. It was an eye opened course for me and I will continue to specialize in the future.
Thank you

I understand that it is an excellent course that improves and gives a wide view on Fintech and mainly on the market in Asia-Pacific. Teacher Theodore Henry King CLARK is very didactic and has great humor and that makes the classes more attractive. The course is quite didactic and brings information and guests that add to the discussion. My rating is 5 because it met my expectations and I'm sure that people who want to get to know FinTech Foudations and Overview a little will be a great study opportunity.

It was very informative to give you the basics on the definition of FinTech as well as real-world examples to help you relate to the business of FinTech.

This course looks more like a podcast. This course seems recorded around 2017 and is not helpful five years later. I wouldn't say I liked the final project because it was based on peer review. When analyzing myself at the end of this course, I believe that I have wasted more time than I have gained knowledge.
Well i did not understand block chain but that is because I am 57 (old man).But I found the course on the whole very well presented and enjoyed the new ideas.The spectrum of commentators is wide.Lots of interesting lectures.So thanks very much
The professor is very good! He gives very real use cases and tells you how fintech evolved from the beginning. It is amazing to uncover historical perspectives and facts and understand what will uncover in the future.
This course was extremely helpful in learning about the basics of FinTech and its technologies. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about the topic!

very interesting topic, the final assignment might take longer than advertised if you want to do it properly.
Good foundational course , and the project at the end gives more insight into the larger fintech markets
Clear explanation from the professor on FinTech. Analyses the topic from different perspectives.
A perfect course to start your journey in fintech. However, I would added more details regarding legal framework in particular in the most popular jurisdictions such as UK, Singapore of Hong Kong, for instance. Many thanks for lecturers and peers.
it is a great course except for the peer review at the end, its just not professional to do that in an online course
Decent course, all was fine except the lengthy peer review process which was a major speed bump.
A little bit outdated information for 2022
