astrophysics and cosmology
The teaching style was nice, and it covers basics of astrobiology, astrophysics and cosmology, and it's somewhere between an introductory course and an intermediate one (the quizzes aren't that easy).
It was more than excellent course in terms of the modules which cover all the astronomy and astrophysics and cosmology, I have learn new things and I really enjoyed.

video lectures
Again a course that comes with very simple (and not always good prepared) video lectures but for recieving a grade an enormous math knowledge is necessary, with no further help given Really enjoyed this course which gives a good summary about astronomy to beginners like me.
Now this course might seem small but it is not, the test are really challenging and the knowledge of video lectures aren't enough, you have to dig deep and study from other sources too.
Although only 4 weeks long, each module covers at least 15 video lectures, so it would take you a whole day to go through that week's lectures.

Each of the courses I took was different and had a unique perspective, so they were all worthwhile, but this is the astronomy course from which I learned the most and which I most highly recommend.
simple, easy and important topics, I highly recommend this course.

End-of-week quiz contains materials not covered in the course videos, and is significantly more difficult Excellent overview of the highlights of modern astronomy and a good stimulus ro further study of material covered.

for beginners
Not for beginners in the slightest.
Unfortunately, there are no problems or math assignments, but this may be a positive thing for beginners wanting to experience the wonderful world of astronomy.
my first
love it It's my first course on Coursera, and also my first astronomy course.It was fantastic, No lot's of calculation, but more focus on the concepts, such as relativity, standard model of particles, quantum mechanics.
This being my first enrollment on Coursera, I cannot but expect the best, as these first lectures have really set the tone.
