Unfortunately I didnt complete the week 8 assignments for various reasons but got my certificate nonetheless! I must say I got a real kick out of doing the course and getting the certificate.

Has anyone enrolled in further courses through Coursera?

Hi Aidan,

Week 8 was a bit over the top for me too. I too really enjoyed it and getting the certificate did make me feel good. I enrolled in one of the beginners algebra courses then noticed it had started 2 weeks earlier so I unerolled. Will look for it again in the future.

Cheers

Week 2 and 8 were the hardest IMO. I was lucky with week 8 in that I didn't get to attempt any of the questions until all the grader glitches were sorted out.

Got 100% in the end so I'm pretty chuffed. It was the most rewarding thing I've done in a fair while, thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to take another course in the future but need a bit of a break now!

Anyone knows how many people achieved 90% (to qualify for distinction) and 100%? (I could not find this info anywhere on website).

It seems that there were ~5000 enrolments, out of those 2100 earned certificate (70%).

Quite a crowd !!

There is a forum post with the final numbers for all sorts of things, but it doesn't say how many certificates or do any break down by grade. Seach for "Final update on statistics".

You'll have to wait for them to re-offer it. Ronen says they will but didn't say when. Apart from that, no doubt lots of people have copies of everything if you wanted to go through it by yourself.

Introduction to Astronomy

This course is on again starting on Dec 3.
The 1st homework looks quite challenging.
https://class.coursera.org/introastro-002/class

What do the people who attempted it last time think of the course?
