Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life

For us that are not scientist the lectures were very easy to follow and the instructor makes it accessible and interesting.

Great introduction to this really interesting topic - thank you :-) Very informative, easy to follow, and well explained.

It's an entertaining and easy to follow course.

Easy to follow the professors lectures.

The english subtitles need to be corrected at many parts but all in all it was a very good attempt.Thank you Very interesting and easy to follow.

The quizzes are challenging, yet well prepared and easy to follow.

The scientific concepts are explained clearly and the different modules are well structured so everything is easy to follow.

The lectures are interesting and easy to follow.

The course has a nice and steady flow which is easy to follow and the deadlines are flexible and easy to manage.

Really enjoyed this course.

good instructor and interesting material , honestly one of the best courses on coursera Happy to learn IO really enjoyed this course A nice introduction to astrobiology.

l really enjoyed this course.

Hope Professor Cockell will put together more classes!

Personally I really enjoyed professor Cockell's lessons, I found him amiable and his teaching clear.If anything, I would say it is advisable to have a second source of information concerning space missions and science discoveries as some of these go back to 2013-2014, when the course was likely prepared.

Professor Cockell comunicates the contents clearly and makes you feel engaged.

Professor Cockell obviously has a passion for his field and I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures.

As one who always felt my science skills were mediocre at best, I found myself fascinated and following along easily with Professor Cockell's lectures.

I'd love to see an advanced course or Professor Cockell branch out into one or two of the subjects touched upon in the class ~ there's a lot more to be learned!

He and the team obviously have great humor as some of the quiz questions suggested, so it would have made the course that much more engaging to see Professor Cockell's humor a bit more in the video lectures.

I can recommend this course to everybody because it's rather easy, it doesn't require any previous knowledge and professor Cockell is an excellent teacher.

Thank you so much Professor Cockell.

Excellent course by Professor Cockell from the University of Edinburgh.

This course has opened my mind for the possibility of extraterrestrial life and has vastly influenced my most recent decisions.

Maybe for a beginner to the topic, it could be hard at first with the new vocabulary, but the course is well explained I learned a lot from this introduction to Astrobiology, and I hope ET life will communicate with me ;) Very good introduction to the field of astrobiology and extraterrestrial life.

It's amazing how we are improving on the search for extraterrestrial life, it's also pretty interesting how this set of lectures introduces you to this incredible world.I only say thanks for being so nice and accurate with the explanations.

Nonetheless, I had fun learning about the origins of life on Earth, the possibility of life on Mars, Extraterrestrial intelligence and other topics covered.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in the origin and possibility of life on Earth and on other planets.

Before passing this course my knowledge about Extraterrestrial life and life on the other planets was about the Hollywood movies.

From what life is, how it started, to how we search for life on other planets, it's a must take for fans of astrobiology and anything space related!

At the end of this course I had a better idea about why we're searching for life on other planets It is interesting Excellent Course by The University Of Edinburgh.

Professor Charles Cockell was just amazing to dramatizes events spanning more than 4 billion years of our Planet.

I want to thank prof. Charles Cockell for his work.

El solo hecho de que el profesor Charles Cockell se haya grabado a sí mismo explicando las clases denota profesionalidad y facilidades para el estudiante.

Thank you very much, Charles Cockell, and everyone who contributed to the creation of this course and made this overview of Astrobiology accessible to the general public.

The material presented was varied and interesting, the quizzes well constructed and kudos to Charles Cockell who presented this so well.

Well organized and very informative.

I learned much more than I expected as the course is fully detailed, well organized and the quizzes were challenging.

Very informative, well organized and well presented.

Very interesting topic, I had previous knowledge about exoplanets and formation of the Earth and solar system which was helpful but not necessary to understand the concepts in the course.

cool This course was very informative about the current scientific research beyond our Earth and beyond the solar system.

This course was extremely helpful and exciting for an aspiring astrobiologist like myself.The instructor explained everything very clearly and was very direct.My favorite part was when he talked about the possibility of life in our solar system, such as on Europa and Titan.He made learning about astrobiology exciting and fun.

It was very interesting and opened my eyes to so many new aspects of extraterrestrial life!

very useful and learned many new things Awesome course.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Astrobiology.
