About the Course

Have you ever wondered how goods get delivered to us so quickly as soon as we order them? One word: Logistics! In this introductory Supply Chain Logistics course, I will take you on a journey to this fascinating backbone of global trade. We cover the three major building blocks of logistics networks: transportation, warehousing, and inventory. After completing this course, you will be able to differentiate the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation. You will understand what goes into designing and setting up a warehousing facility. Finally, you will be able to select the options that enable you to develop logistics networks, that minimize costs and deliver top customer service. This is an introductory course designed to provide you with a start on your learning journey in logistics. You do not need to have any background in logistics, but it would be beneficial if you had a basic understanding of business concepts. Join me and we will learn together about logistics!

Adequately detailed and informative educational videos. With sufficient links to external resources, study materials & reference information. The tests and exams helped reinforce the study material.

I think that the proffesor should explain more. I was a total beginner and I have to do a lot of research by my own.

I thought the instructor did an excellent job of making this clear and interesting. I enjoyed the humor he used at times and that he traveled to actual locations for some videos. I did learn a lot!

I took this great course, due to I would like to have better understandings and more valuable knowledge in Logistics Field although I had attended some free Logistics Seminars in Myanmar and free short courses provided by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Myanmar Port Authority's training Center and I also have around 2 years practical Sales & Marketing working experiences in Sea Freight and Air Freight Import and Export operations with World Wide Shipping Agents and Carriers.

Anyway, this is a very great course!! Because it is easier to understand and also with flexible timing to do the assignments and complete. It also has some fun quizzes, challenging and exciting assignments throughout the course. After complete everything then I have earned very impressionable certificate from Coursera.

The content of this course offers very little of value. The video content is barely worth watching, as essentially all the same information can be obtained in the 3-point summaries as part of each chapter. Most of the course is vague ideas, and at the end of the course, I had difficulty pointing to anything specific the course taught me.

The assignments themselves are no better learning opportunities. It would be hard to do the assignments based only on what was taught in the lectures, so to solve this problem, the instructor gives a sample of what the assignment should look like, which is essentially the completed assignment for you, so you don't have the ability or the option to really get any value from these assignments.

In addition, there are issues with formatting and submitting assignments in this course. On multiple instances we're asked to format responses to assignments as a table, but even if you do, the table is squished together so the markers can't read what you submit properly (this also occurs for the question in one of the assignments).

Finally, I wouldn't take this course expecting to have good interactions with other learners. My experience was that the assignments submitted by other learners, as well as the feedback they left me was that of people who didn't value this course. As an example, there is a thread in the forums which suggests that everyone just give everyone full marks so we can all pass. This thread has been up for a while. It's also the most viewed and replied to thread for the section that it's posted to (the final assignment).

The peer graded assignments firstly have too much of weightage, and secondly the reviewers don't necessarily grasp the questions / answers correctly and unknowingly grade incorrectly. A better alternative should be evaluated or ways to improve the accuracy of peer grading needs to be thought of.

Apart from it, the course is decent enough being an introductory course not needing too much time dedication per week.

Coursera failed to provide an adequate level of customer service and care. I signed up for the free trial and due to extenuating circumstances there was a mistaken in my subscription cancellation. The "Coursera Community Team" essentially copy-pasted a boiler plate refund rejection response to my request for refund. They couldn't refund me for this type of issue, then I realize they are not worth my future business nor recommendation to others. Very disappointed.

Course has no protection over peer reviews that are grossly unfair. Try calling Coursera's chat assistant and, after waiting for more than 30 minutes, there's nobody there to assist you.
