Took this professor's course in Galaxies and Cosmology which was for 2nd year physics majors. I think this course is a more general course for non-physics-majors. Excellent course!

Thank you Prof. Djorgovski. For a school student like me, this course was an exposure to the fascinating world of astrophysics, which I plan to pursue while at college.

So much handwaving! An introductory course for student who already know what the course is about... Yes, it's wrong.

The course may be fine for engineering students and those who have a pretty advanced knowledge of Physics, but not for others. The answers to many of the questions on the quizzes and reviews were answered in subsequent lectures, rather than in ones prior to the questions. The lecturer was not very articulate, and when he corrected errors that he made in the lecture often was unclear about what he was correcting. otherwise, there was still some good information provided in the course.

Dear Professor,
You're skipping over many vitally important bits of information. For example, how exactly is stellar spectra taken. How is it performed and where are the results recorded? There is just too much information missing between the slides. Also, please try to speak more clearly -don't mumble or let your voice trail off toward the end of some of your sentences. Thanks!

No logro reanudar el curso Evolving Universe, supuestamente voy en la 1a semana y después de realizar la prueba de Distancias y Escalas, habiendo respondido correctamente las dos preguntas el sistema no reconoce mis respuestas y no deja avanzar

Lessons contents are incomplete and quizzes are clearly above the level of the lessons. Don't know if I'm learning anything. I quit and will look to other alternatives as I don't want to waste more time and effort on it.

No real interaction, it's like sitting on the outside of a lecturer through an open window.....

Lectures are quite interesting, but the numerical exercises are a shit there is no way to really know how to put correctly the numbers, in spyte you could obtail the correct resultin your calculator. For that reason i will not recomend to take this course. REALLY BAD!!!!

En los cuestionarios, seleccionaba las respuestas correctas pero en la segunda pregunta no me contaba como buena (Aun y cuando salia la paloma verde), provocando la falta de ese punto.

The difficulty contradicts Courseras slogan "education for everyone"

Too difficult for the non-science minded.

It's useless and lacking enthusiasm.
