Shortly: I don't know why I paid for this course.

Just a list of stuff. I know that it isn't easy teach what the SC is, but in a online (international) course I totally don't care abut the US code of transportations or at what age in US it is possible lead a truck. And these are just a coupple of things.

About the tests: above all, too long, and often with a lot of questions that hasn't been exposed in lectures.

Finally, I put one star because I can't put zero.

The Peer Graded Assignment is not a proper way to Judge .

Which resulted me about a month to finish this single Assignment, So these module should be removed.

Reading from the screen is no way to teach a course. The teacher could have been replaced with a robot that reads from the screen.

I am thrilled to share my experience this course has been an exceptional journey & has exceeded my expectations in every way. I am impressed by the course structure and organization. The course materials were top-notch & the video lectures were engaging and filled with real life examples making the learning experience more informative and practical. The instructor's (Mr. Tim Brown) expertise and passion for the subject matter were evident throughout the course. Their ability to break down complex topics and explain them in a relatable manner were commendable, I appreciate with respect. My experience was outstanding and it provide a solid foundation in supply chain concepts, developed my analytical and problem solving skills and connected me with a vibrant community of learners. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understandings of supply chain management and enhance their professional capabilities.

The course offers a very high level but good break up of the systems , the process and people involved in Supply chain , the 5 weeks are split well to manage the various layers/ Tiers on the process. the complexities of implementation and the details of each fork in the process will be more advanced including what is the data to capture and the schema of the business objects in system and EDI , but this information serves as foundation. Enjoyed the course and test / grading process. Knowing this we can proceed into process re-engineering, system automation , IoT in Supply chain and Blockchain and smart contract use cases, which will help modernize and improve the process speed and visibility with minimum errors due to limited human intervention.

Thank you - Georgia Tech for putting this course online.

A great course that provides knowledge about every aspect of Supply Chain. I am going to study Supply Chain Management in a few months and this course has given me all the knowledge I need to have an advantage in my upcoming studies. Specifically, the videos are of great quality and provide detailed information. In addition, the reading materials are very important, have a lot of details and you can learn lots of things about SCM. Last but not least, every week's quiz is a nice way to sharpen your knowledge about every aspect of Supply Chain.

Quite Cumbersome and at times a bit difficult to take all of it in.

However, I've found this course to be very interesting and it's picked my interest in learning more about Supply Chain.

I've gotten a better understanding of the production flow, distribution process involved and the significant role technology plays in improving these processes.

The knowledge gained will certainly help me to improve my business and possibly seek future employment in related fields.

Best wishes to Timothy Brown!

I would like to collaborate with Professor Brown in the future on Supply Chain related projects.

It is very good course for supply chain Management, it is very useful for purchase department and outsourcing department and both are comes under pillar of Integrated Material Management. The person who working under big organization, they must know the basic principle of supply chain. The person who want to join such a big logistic, he should know about the logistic rules, International commercial terms, International Freight forwarder of Ocean, Air, Road, Pipeline.

Content of the course is very good - It covers the different supply chain topics very well and it is structured and presented clearly. It gives a very good overview and helps to learn the supply chain concepts.

Some minor improvements - The time estimate of the course can be improved - it is correct for the videos, but for the reading materials it is less. Also there are questions in between the videos for which we don't have any suitable options.

The instructor, course material, and the quizzes all are excellent. I would highly recommend this to people who are just starting on a supply chain profession or studies. It touches all the necessary things related to a supply chain. From the manufacturing department to warehousing and transportation department's part in the supply chain is clearly explained by Mr. Brown. Thank You, Professor! And Thank You, Coursera!

The course was very detailed and well structured, deserves many thanks to all who took part to prepare materials and readings. Maybe one thing i would like to improve in it, is alignment of videos and reading materials, because not always they were following each other. But overall, it was very interesting, entertaining and easy to understand. I would like to learn more courses by Georgia Tech.

The communication quality by Tim Brown is very praiseworthy. quality of each chapters and its detailings improved our knowledge and gave us good insights into the subject.

The tests were not easy and it really tested our knowledge that we received from the weekly schedules of classes. The whole programme is basic but it covers full gamut of supply chain.Thanks for all the materials.

SCM, at least the "official" terms and covered areas of SCM, were totally alien to me. This course was no detailed, yet easy to follow that I did not realize for a moment that I was attending classes on topic which is unknown to me.

Also, the external video links, reading materials and glossary documents are really helpful to revise and revisit the topics.
