A remarkable experience. Great lectures, beautiful surroundings, well chosen readings. I guess I will sign up for the second part of it.

I liked the start very much. The later physics was not clear enough for me.Anyway, very interesting material which make you think (which is always a good thing).

Though familiar with the material, the lectures made several very nice key points about the Philosophy of Science which I found useful. However there are a few issues :
-a lot of the lecturing is on a board which is hard to read
-there is a lot more science than there is Philosophy
The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing, but based on the title I expected more of the latter.

Really informative. Equations were a bit difficult to understand. I felt that there was a bias towards anthropic principle.

Very technical and focuses more on cosmology than on the principles of Philosophy of Science

Found it a bit hard to follow, some aspects could've been explained in more detail.

It would be better if you didn't use Cosmology in this course. Because it is hard to grasp and it seems to be more speculative.
