A good course. It can be improved more by adding more assignments along with the reading materials as this will help to link more with the theoretical knowledge.

It was an excellent introductory course with lots of practical tips. Some more articles on procurement practices of industries would be a welcome addition.

Some of the materials are redundant, old, and/or poorly written.

I recommend avoiding this specialization and any others where passing them hinges on peer review assignments. You could waste a tremendous amount of time resubmitting assignments and trying to get approval from uninformed and unreasonable peers. Spend your time instead on a course that is 100% learning. Coursera should eliminate peer reviews or at least tell you up front that they are a part of the course.
