Learner Reviews & Feedback for Origins - Formation of the Universe, Solar System, Earth and Life by University of Copenhagen

I enjoyed this course immensely! I was a bit hesitant due to its length, however, the content was usually manageable and mostly interesting. A couple of the weeks, the lectures are quite lengthy and dense while others were a bit dry. Also, I think the week about bacteria could use a little more explanation. I feel as though I didn't really understand those concepts until watching that week's as well as the next week's lectures. Finally, the quiz questions for the third to last week were a bit confusing and didn't match well to what the instructors actually said.

Thank you so much for this course, I really enjoyed it!

I only gave 4 stars because sometimes it is really hard to understand, especially key words (I am not talking about the accent but the group and family latin names, etc); I constantly had to check the subtitles for these.

To be honest I wasn't expecting this content after reading the course title, but it was nice to see evolution from this point of view, great job!

Enjoyed course. Was not what I expected from the name of the course but I enjoyed it anyway. Found climate information interesting. Instructors English was generally correct, however I found some hard to understand because of enunciation issues. PS: I am a retired electronics engineer with an advanced degree who is interested in how everything works.

Would have given you 5 stars except for the enunciation issue.

A wonderful and informative course! I learned about evolution from a lot of different perspectives and fields of science! There were a few points where I wish things had been explained a bit more slowly/carefully/thoroughly, but otherwise I had a very good experience.

Seemed to diverge from the original premise in week twelve with the evolution and radiation of bird species. The development of life forms that resulted in Homo (X) seem to have been skated over rather quickly. But over all I have learnt a lot.

Really informative course, the reason why I rated 4/5 is because the lecturers read much too often from the teleprompter. Obviously they all know the material very well but reading it off a screen doesn't feel very natural.

Excellent program (5 stars). But most teachers were clearly reading a script, with little or no graphic information, which made retaining the information practically impossible (2-3 stars).

Overall, great overview of Earth's history! Found the end pretty fry when looking at biodiversity. Would have preferred to look at biodiversity of other species besides birds.

Great course with so much information. The instructors explain the themes very well, perhaps it needs a laser so signal important points in each slide that is been presented.

Excellent course on this topic. I have really enjoyed the process of learning and the knowledge I gathered during the process. More importantly, it has broadened my thinking.

Great course, a clear and complete introduction to the different aspects of life evolution on earth.

A great base to start from. Thank you,

Excellent and informative course - a great deal of factual information packed in. Very well presented by a range of experts in different fields.

A very interesting course with a broad spectrum.

Some of the professors might work a little bit on the pronunciation of English!

Did not want to take this course for credit. Basically watched all of the videos.

Found it very interesting and informative.

It's a marvelous course. But it has one problem, the pronunciation of instructors are much herder to understand.

Assessment for the last half of the course was on stupid dates and small, boring, unimportant details.

Very interesting covering different disciplines. I enjoyed the Paleontologic part, well documented.

In some module they seem to more deep information .I would like to have more explanation.

stilVery good and contain very recent data that actually can help people who are isted

Course structure is very precise. Content is concise and good for a beginner like me.

Overall a great course, although come of the lectures can get repetitive.

Some week cources are great others are too confusing or scatchy.

Very enjoyable and testing course covering a lot of ground

A very interesting course. Maybe a bit short for 12 weeks.

The professors know very well how to explain the subject
