Excellent course. To appreciate it even more, download the videos and watch on a big 65" TV screen: amazing experience and in the end, you get to meet Darwin. A huge thank you to all the instructors.

The emphasis was clearly on the Earth and Life with very little on the Universe, Solar System

This course had so much information in it. I think I only came for about 20% of it (and retained about that much as well). It is very jargon-heavy. It was painful to get through, but I did because I had specific questions about the origins of Earth and humans that I wanted answered. I thought about quitting and just looking up the information on YouTube many times because of how much unnecessary information is packed into this course, but I persisted because I figured that even though I wasn't enjoying the course, it was at least credible. I think if it could be watered down to more high points and overviews rather than a bunch of nitty-gritty details, this class could be very accessible and enjoyed by many. And then, those interested in the nitty-gritty after taking that course, could be recommended this course.

Sorry, the guy in the first video doesn't blink, which is very weird. The second video was so incredibly dry and boring that I completely lost interest. I know this could be a fascinating course with the proper videos and visuals to help people understand it.
