Thanks so much for posting this. There are so many MOOCs that I want to take but can't due to other stuff which have precedence (like university) and even though this is completely out of my field of study it looks interesting and at the same time the workload seems light.
Course and moocdemic lead here. I've designed the course with you in mind (to be frank, with me in mind, but I'm exactly like you ;-). Too many MOOCs out there in my opinion that just transfer offline education to online.

This is very true. And the hourly estimates required are underrated in my experience. I am taking a coursera course that claimed 5-8 hours of investment per week; in reality I am spending 12-18 hours per week (skipping optional assignments).
