I really enjoyed working through the modules of this course. The material was interesting and enlightening. The self-paced format worked well for me and I will look for similar courses going forward.

Amazing introductory course and covers wide variety of topics ranging from history, to astronomy to astrobiology. Really great of amateur astronomers and for anyone who is remotely interested in it.

Although I was graduated from a faculty of science but the first lessons about evidence, uncertainty, imagination and hypothesis were COMPLETELY new for me,
So thanks a lot for all of you especialy Dr.Chris Impey

Outstanding course that pushed my limited Astronomy knowledge to the edge but didn't put me overboard! A challenge but an awesome experience. The professor from University of Arizona was as amazing as the topic!

The course was incredible. I have always loved space and science, but this course has heightened it, and reinvigorated it, and has given me a deeper amazement of the universe. Professor Impey is a great teacher.

Extremely interesting, deeply detailed, excelent content workbook, understandable even if you're not in the field of astrophysics or chemistry. This is a course that anyone can take to learn about the universe.

Using entertainment media (excerpts from Family Guy, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) made this course not only interesting, but also fun. In some ways, they balance out the complex concepts present in some lessons.

It was a great introduction course for someone who is new to astronomy like myself! Prof Impey used great multimedia throughout the videos to keep the content engaging and informative. 10/10 would recommend!!

Intriguing, well structured, supported with interesting examples and image/video materials. Also, probably the key part - amazing lecturer, who makes you fall in love with science from the very first minutes.

I think it's one of my favourite Mooc courses so far.
It would be really great if there would be a possibility to study astronomy to a full undergraduate degree online (and don't get poor by paying the fees).

Fascinating course, very nicely set and laid out. I was eager to move to the following week as the course progressed. Professor Impy presented information and data in a very comprehensive and eloquent way.

Thank you so much Professor Chris and team for the course. It is really opening and refreshing at the same time for my science interest through astronomy. I wish I can have other courses too in the future.

Perfect for beginners. The speed and amount of information was just right. The professor's way of explaining was easy to understand and friendly. Interesting clips were used and there was also some humour.

Loved the course and the professor. Learned a lot. As a retiree I am interested in auditing courses and not necessarily in completing all the assignments. Have highly recommended the course and Coursera.

it is an amazing subject, and it is well taught by professor Impey. It was so much fun the way he presented it, with a lot of nice multimedial material but also a lot of hard work to complete the course.

This course covered everything and helped me understand the universe at a much deeper level than I had picked up in my 68 years on this earth. Looking forward to the new course from Chris and his team.

A great course covering a wide range of subjects linked to Astronomy. Very engaging and varied, perfect for someone who's never studied Astronomy before (and hasn't done any science since school).

I would suggest this course to anyone who is interested in astronomy or astrophysics. The course is definitely also good for beginners since you only need a little prior knowledge about the subject.

A very interesting course in the aim of having broad look of astronomy with many lessons to help you to explore many interesting topics. For me it has been really worthy to take part of the course.

Excellent course and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys space. Easily explained, although some lectures can be very abstract. Chris Impey does a brilliant job and is an outstanding lecturer.
