I'm still not completely convinced "big history" is really a "discipline," but it is an intriguing and innovative approach to organizing our understanding of our existence, and I very much enjoyed the broad scope and transdisciplinary approach. Learned a lot!

Ambitious coverage of the human understanding of our reality to date. Gaps in knowledge are left for future finding, while the presentation of what we do know with some certainty is highlighted. The 4th lesson video of week 1 is a masterpiece.

Enjoyable course and I appreciated the interdisciplinary nature. At times, I felt like I wanted to delve deeper into the content, but I understand that this MOOC, like most others, are breadth courses designed for incoming Freshmen.

It was such a great journey. I enjoyed each and every bit of the knowledge. they even gave the option for further reading and free materials as well. now I am thinking of pursuing my higher studies in this domain

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It provided an insightful analysis of Big History for myself.

I would recommend it for anyone to complete who is open to insightful and expert opinions on Big History.

A really well structured course filled with rich knowledge and important details. On completion of this course, the meaning of the word 'History' won't be the same again.

The course may include a unit on hierarchy , interlinks and patterns which can be observed in every aspect of man made things with respect to nature.

Thanking

The course content had met its objectives. I loved the way interdisciplinary sciences were explained precisely from Astronomy to paleontology to economics

Interesting idea to approach everything from an idea of increasing complexity, but due to the nature of the subject they can't really go into any detail.

Very nice overview, but it seemed to be too much information for the limited time. There should be a separate six week course for each threshold.

This Astronomy course is good but for people that are more interesting in the big bang theory and how the universe came into existence today.

great knowledge expansion in unique way. this collective knowledge gave me a very wide perspective view of humanity and its existence.

Amazing, draws you in with the bonus points but keeps you invested with the surprising amount of detail and the interesting topics.

well presented information and a thorough course helped me to truly grasp the concept of what was being presented to me

Interesting concepts here and loved seeing all the connections. At times it was a bit too cutesy in its presentations.

the last assignment is too time consuming, I didn't completed it though I finished all the other assignments.

Just started this course, but so far love the graphics and the enthusiasm of the teachers.

Covers a lot of fields of knowledge. Beautifully illustrated and well explained.

An exceptional course!!! Its interdisciplinary approach is just qunitessential.

Very nice course, only minor issue is that the assignments were a tad easy

Useful in understanding the bigger context of time outside of history.

This is not just a course, this is an epiphany, a life-long learning.

Good overview of Big History. But some recommended links didn't work

Great course, but could have had more information on human history.

It was very intuitive course with lots of example and explanation.
