Amazing

A great way to get an overview of one's place in this world by understanding the whole history of the universe before and after humans. The multitude of sciences touched upon during the course made me research on the topics discussed more thoroughly. The teachers are good, the intro music is a wee bit too intense

A course that changes the way of seeing the history

An interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of combining all history into one outlook before. Thanks.

I just love this topic. It is really fun and teaches you a lot.

Brilliant summation of knowledge of our universe from the beginning. Lucid and engaging.

The lectures are really well made, with nice animations underlining the material. I also enjoy the diversity of topics covered by different teachers.

Great course! I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much. Great to get all the extra reading material on the various subjects.

Fantastic course/

Thanks for creating this course in very well organized format and sharing such an incredible overview of the history!

A definite course to take. You learn so much and enjoy doing it. Can't recommend enough.

This is a wonderful and absolutely mind-boggling course. I am so glad I got this opportunity to take this course and be introduced to this topic. The range of topics covered are diverse and they make you think of how it all began, your past, present and future. I will like to thank all the professors and contributors who made this course.

A great eye opener and excellently presented. The rise of complexity as a driving force of development and evolution was a great learning point.

I loved every minute of this course. I only watched the video's because of lack of time, but really was sorry when reaching the end. Iit is packed full with (new) insights, very entertaining with excellent quality images, comments from the various lecturers that will make you think in a more balanced way about the world we live in.

I did not know about Big History and signed up out of curiosity. However, I believe it should be mandatory for everybody to get this kind of connection of various disciplines to understand more of what got us here.

Strongly recommended!

Awesome approach. Really interesting how many subjects are put together.

Fascinating coverage of ALL of history. Great presenters

Fantastic course - great content, very informative, and engaging presentations

Truly insightful and enjoyable big picture course. Much effort must have gone into its preparation. Makes you want to to learn more.

.

Excellent overview of 13.8bn years, places a history framework around the story of the Universe. uses the concept of thresholds to help explain how increasing complexity has led humans to where they are today.

Great class, please repeat it

I am enjoying the course.

They speak clearly, allowing differences of opinions without insulting beliefs, break each segment into the components parts and giving current information on each so that a student has sufficient information to decide - and enjoy the 'claim tests'.

I have taken coursera courses in each of the segments as well as having higher ed in some that are nice to get up-to-date - and all in one place - to begin to see what Alex Humboldt called the web of the world.

Enjoying all of it. Actually in process of going through it a second time. So much information is made available every week, that I am finding and learning new things the second time through. The variety of instructors and information sources is appreciated. Thank you for putting such a extensive course together and making it available for all.

fun
