Interesting course. Good photographs. There is a transcript, but it was hard for me to understand the professor.

Fascinating topic and information. Love the way the speaker shows up on site! Quizzes were really difficult.

Very well done with good balance of visual, video, and text explanations. Solid lecturer. Very pleased.

!Excelente¡ aunque si no manejas el vocabulario astronómico se puede volver un tanto complicado...

molt interesant i amb una durada de videos que facilita l'aprenentatge dels elements importants

Very good introduction to the discipline, but it requires strong knowledge / work on Astronomy

Pretty hardcore in some parts, but still a very interesting and thought provoking course.

This course is very interesting. It would be good to join a course on South Asia as well.

V​ery good course. I just wish it would extend further, as envisioned in the last video.

The course length could have been more long, since this is a wast subject

A course which gives fascinating relation between stones and stars

Very interesting. I would likke this course to have a longer time

Very interestig. Sometimes the English was hard to grasp.

(1) Week 1 was entirely too hard for a beginner. That week and throughout the course, he introduced terms and did not define them. And, wow, in Week 7, when he got into mathematical formulas and had these symbols I had never seen before, I could not follow it at all. Two terms he used frequently were azimuth and declination. I didn't even know what azimuth meant until Week 7 when I decided to look it up on the Internet. If I had known earlier, some things might have made more sense. I looked up declination but couldn't figure out what it was, even with the definition.

(2) The tests were a joke! I have taught social studies classes, grades 7-12, for 25 years and taught Earth Science at a university for 4 years. I know how to create a good test of the material I wanted my students to know. These course tests seemed to pick out the most obscure part of the lesson, not the important points. And you never did find out the right answer if you missed one.

(3) I'm sorry, but he was difficult to understand. I'd read the transcript first and then watch the video with captions, but his inflection and mispronunciation still made it difficult to follow.

(4) I did like the photographs and the way it looked like he was actually standing at the sites. That was cool.

I have taken several online courses through Coursera and other places, but I did not enjoy this one at all. I had an in-person 3-day workshop on Archeoastronomy years ago at Kampsville, Illinois, and really liked it, so I was looking forward to this course. But it did not live up to my expectations.
