Review of the course The Science of the Solar System
Back to the courseGreat Overview of Current Theories of Our Solar System
I found this course to be very interesting and informative, as well as challenging. It is divided into sections on Mars, the gas giants, small bodies in the solar system, and life in the solar system and beyond. Each unit was divided into a series of short lectures with questions which could be answered or skipped. An extensive list of additional reading and resources was offered. There were course blogs and on-line discussions. There were also very challenging homework assignments and tests. For adventurous students, there was the opportunity to follow along with the Students taking the class in person for graduation credit at CalTech. I hope this professor offers this course, and more, in the future, for I would look forward to taking them.
