Interesting topic but the assignment is peer reviewed by three random people. For example my answer for question 3 two people gave me perfect and one person gave me a zero with no explanation. You need 80% overall from all 4 questions to pass. I ended up with an overall 75% and there is nothing you can do but redo the assignment and hopefully you get three good markers or the process will happen over and over. I was planning on doing the specialization in this but once I encountered this problem I found a different online course from a different website that is all self test based that I prefer.

Great course. Don Klock was straight to the point and informative. Excercises were terrific. One suggestion is to prescribe some standard textbooks for various topics discussed.

The course was perfect to understand the 7-step strategic sourcing process and there is a project to apply with can be applicable to almost every sector.

Good and concise explanations videos, also very good reading articles.

Very informative and well organized training that props each procurement and sourcing professional up for success. There was a very good and clear discussion and teaching on the various aspects of Strategic Global Sourcing. Even though I have been working in Sourcing for the past 5 years, I've learned a lot of very practical and relatable stories, topics, and skillsets that I am eager to apply and share to my co-workers. Everyone in the Sourcing field should go through this.

Many thanks for this course broadening my knowledge of Strategic sourcing and how to make strategic plans for categories by applying the 2x2 approach (Kraljic Matrix). If you want to pursue a sourcing career path, I highly recommend taking the course.

All steps to strategically source commodities clearly taught with examples, illustrations and a very challenging assignment that test and examine the comprehension and understanding of the subject at the end of the course.

study at coursera has been a great opportunity for me gain more skills on how to choose a suitable supplier by source from the right supplier base

Very insightful course with great content and exercises. Grateful to Prof Don Klock for sharing his extensive knowledge in the procurement field.

Mr. Don Klock was straight to the point! Very interesting and comprehensive course. Looking forward to enrolling in more courses
