Great course. I have finished except for 1 question in one aassignment I have tried 9 times for the correct answer, so have given up. This means that my course is unfinished. Very disappointing

This is my first course in coursera. The material and explanation given by the instructor was awesome. I really learned a lot. Peer graded assingments really helped me to knew the concept very well.

An interesting course that covers a wide variety of topics related to astrobiology, using lectures that provide useful info and interesting points for thought. The 'audit the course' tests are generally quite easy although at times the questions are a bit vague so that it's easy to give "wrong" answers, but it's no great effort to redo them. I can't say much about the graded-assessments as I only went through the audited route but I noted the discussion forums full of the "please assess my assignment" please characteristic of this approach, no idea how many of these please fell on deaf ears. The major criticism I would have is that the videos need correction and as they are marked copyright 2018 and it's now 2024 this has been the case for six years and no-one's been too bothered. Some of these "mistakes" aren't all that big a deal - obvious mis-statements in the lectures or the fact that more exoplanets have been discovered in the intervening years - but there are some scientific errors that should be sorted out (shouldn't have happened in the first place) and it would be handy to update to cover developments arising from JWST among others.

The course is great for beginners in this field. I find the live sessions great, for we can ask questions in real time. The assignments are really good because you get to analyse data and include your creativity in the essay. However, I think the course could be more challenging.

This is an excellent course. The material is presented clearly. The assignments are challenging but not too difficult for a group which likely included people who are taking the course only out of curiousity.

I loved this course, especially the peer-reviewed assignments, it was really exciting to write those assignments and review others, which gave me understanding of how other people thinks

A good course in general. Prof. Impey is very clear, but I cannot agree with him about the Evolution. It's a theory full of gaps: more myth than science.

Excellent course by Prof.Chris Impey. If you want a deeper overall understanding of Astronomy, I would recommend the other course by the same professor.
