To try to compress the universe in only a few lessons is incredibly hard so we can only say this is an introductory course. I hope other courses are developed to explore this subject more deeply.

Wonderful course! A brief introduction to cosmology but with plenty of material to cover. I recommend researching for papers additionally to the material, but you'll need more time than 4 weeks.

There are number of positive things about this course but...
I'm only going to say about thing I don't like about this course;
1. Slide presentation; yeah it's now a norm but in slide presentation large amount of information flashed in your screen which is hard to track; there are some adventages of slide presentation but I prefer blackboard.
2. Derivation are not shown and that might be the reason you find it boring after some weeks and I'm not satisfied with the knowledge I am getting without derivation.

This course was very informative, but know that you definitely need to have some prior knowledge in physics. As a high school sophomore, I hadn't taken any prior physics classes and the class was extremely difficult. While I was ultimately able to complete the course and get a certificate, each week took much longer than advertised and it was very challenging. However, this class taught me about many interesting aspects of astronomy.

Very useful and interesting course. It gives scientific answers to a lot of questions. The only drawback is that it does not offer a certificate and I believe that this is very important because it is the only one that gives this type of information about the universe.

Awesome course! Intensive learning. I recommend a few studies of astronomy before take it.
There are some issues with the feedback of others proffesors

So much handwaving! An introductory course for student who already know what the course is about... Yes, it's wrong.

The course may be fine for engineering students and those who have a pretty advanced knowledge of Physics, but not for others. The answers to many of the questions on the quizzes and reviews were answered in subsequent lectures, rather than in ones prior to the questions. The lecturer was not very articulate, and when he corrected errors that he made in the lecture often was unclear about what he was correcting. otherwise, there was still some good information provided in the course.

Dear Professor,
You're skipping over many vitally important bits of information. For example, how exactly is stellar spectra taken. How is it performed and where are the results recorded? There is just too much information missing between the slides. Also, please try to speak more clearly -don't mumble or let your voice trail off toward the end of some of your sentences. Thanks!

Lessons contents are incomplete and quizzes are clearly above the level of the lessons. Don't know if I'm learning anything. I quit and will look to other alternatives as I don't want to waste more time and effort on it.

No real interaction, it's like sitting on the outside of a lecturer through an open window.....

You are assumed to know Science bachelors level math. When math is lectured there is no explanation of how it operates. The lecturer even says in one lecture that you should know this from your university physics. Not taught at all and glossed over and all lectures are a bit incoherent and not precise and all over the place. This lecturer is certainly not a teacher. I thought this was graded a beginners course???

Lectures are quite interesting, but the numerical exercises are a shit there is no way to really know how to put correctly the numbers, in spyte you could obtail the correct resultin your calculator. For that reason i will not recomend to take this course. REALLY BAD!!!!
