A rich set of videos and articles available to help you get familiar with the subject.

From the very beginning of this course I was excited. For some time now I wanted to bring my fragmentary knowledges to order. So my hopes were high. And, oh boy, I wasn’t disappointed. Not only I filled in the blanks but I learned so many new things. I would recommend Big History to anyone regardless of their job or field of interest. It’s very well structured and it’s the most advanced course I ever took on Coursera in terms of design and preparation. Lecturers are really engaged. Topics are numerous and fascinating. I could go on and on but the major point is that I enjoyed these six week a lot and that was a time well spent.

This course places you right in the midst of the whole universe without forgetting about your local environment.

This is the most useful and comprehensive class I've ever taken, thank you!

Really worthwhile. A great overview of the history of the universe and taste of the different disciplines involved.

Excellent course.

This is by far the most imaginative course I have ever been exposed to following a lifetime of classes at all levels of complexity.

Fantastic course, well presented, informative, interesting and left me with many questions wanting to know more about our past, present and future!

Brilliant, engaging, packed with current scientific knowledge facts, easy to follow. All in all addictive.
