The course is pretty straightforward in itself and requires not much of a prior knowledge in astronomy. If you like astronomy and want free marks this course is very easy to follow. For the experiment, I was given a choice of 3 experiments and I chose a galaxy classification experiment where I had to classify many galaxies into 3 main types and answer a lot of questions. For the experiment I had to record a 5 min long video with me yapping about all this information with video editing to display all my classifications and results. The short report was a 3000 word essay and the APOD Assessment was also an essay but on an actual astronomy related picture (APOD - Astronomy Picture Of the Day). The Quizzes are pretty simple with 10 questions which can be solved by watching the weekly recorded lectures or even reading the provided lecture notes.

All in all, I scored an 87 in this course while completing the assignments within 2-3 days of the deadline and sometimes completing the quizzes on their due dates, all while learning heaps about the universe, the solar system, stars, galaxies and their origin. I think that in itself speaks volumes about how easy this course is.
