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.

Diificult sometimes but surely a rewarding course in the end. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to taking more advanced Astronomy courses.

Thanks Prof Impey and UA & Steward Observatory staff

Really good course. I am learning a lot of new stuff about outer space, garvity waves, the history of astronomy and the universe itself.

This course is a good introduction to astronomy for someone with no knowledge in the subject or physics/maths. As someone with a lot of experience in STEM however, it would've been nice to see the mathematics behind all the theories in some detail, though I understand that this would not have been a preference for everyone studying this course.

As the course is rather old at the time of writing, some of the material seems slightly outdated, but I understand that efforts have been made to make sure that the information is relevant to astronomy today.

Nevertheless, it provides a basic understanding of a broad range of topics in this subject. I enjoyed that the writing assignments as they helped me understand the course material a lot better.

It was an interesting course. What I would like to see is a course offered that is a bit more intensive. Perhaps with a bot of mathematics involved. What I see offered is entry level survey courses that are quite easy and then advanced courses that require knowledge of second or third year mathematics. A course or a certificate (4-5 courses) that bridges the gap between the two would be a benefit. Thank you

It was interesting and gives you knowledge at a large extent, the only thing lacking is a role of mathematics in this course.

Good one. Detailed.

Too much of video clips from television etc. Can avoid those.

Great if you're new to astronomy entirely, but most of this stuff is pretty basic. Depending on where you went to school, you probably already knew of a majority of this stuff. I only recommend for kids or absolute beginners.

Entertaining, but very basic. Suits a beginner with very little knowledge of physics.
