Great course. Awesome Prof. Easy to understand and get into even if you don't have a science background. Can't wait to learn more!
Easy to follow. Anyone who is interested in Astronomy should take this course. This course is better than the course (Astronomy - Big Questions) that I took at my University.
excellent course! at last a teacher that explains the universe in plain English in a way that can be understood by most.
A really nice course for someone pursuing astronomy or likes to know more about the cosmos. Really expands one's knowledge of the universe.
