This course finally mitigated my immense interest about Universe. I really liked the content and evaluative process of this course. Thanks to Caltech for this amazing astronomy course.

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!

an intermediate course in astronomy with many topics and an enormous amount of details covered in lectures. The lecture slides were outstanding. Some of the calculations were very difficult. A very experienced lecturer but I was unable to understand fully numerous concepts he explained because of his accent. Had to read some of the transcripts to know what he was talking about. I put up the volume to 100% when listening to all his lectures but the sound quality of all the lectures were pretty poor as I had to strain my ears to hear the lecturer. Is it my laptop or were the recordings of all the lectures not good?

Overall, the lecturer was excellent but rather boring to listen to. I've gained a colossal amount of knowledge in astronomy even though I struggled a lot to understand many concepts.

Thank you Caltech and the Professor of this course. Very pleased with my Certificate!

The syllabus is well thought and organized, it follows a suitable transition from the fundaments to the most challenging topics about modern astronomy/astrophysics. The only complain is the way the modules are addressed, as they consist of pure slide presentation with the occasional quiz, and while I think that's important, I think it's lacking additional resources like problem sets and assignments.

Nevertheless, a great course for introducing to the marvelous world of astronomy.

I enjoyed the course a great deal and it achieved giving me a great understanding of the basics of this field of study and will persue it further.

A comment to consider is that the texts for the course had many interesting and challenging speech translation requiring much editing and correction. It required intense listening to get the correct words and phrasing, though in many ways this assisted in embedding the subject.

The topics are very interesting and I learned a lot from this course. I do not think the level is a beginner level, this course requires you to have a knowledge level higher than beginner to be able to keep up with all content. I did enjoy the lectures and the materials.
