I really like the teacher's curriculum sharing and his professional experiences. The lenguage used and the respect to the several purchasing areas are an important topic here, well worked. Really like the use of commom expressions such as "the elephant in the room" or "the dark side of the moon". Truly in the end I was surprised that this course has already ended! Thank you a lot.

The reading material was pretty insightful and yet easy to read. At first I was a bit worried because it seemed like a good amount of reading but the articles are written really well. They were easy to get through because they were personable.

The introduction is very conversational in my point of view. It is not so academic nor too technical that can cause confusion. Thus this is really a good starter and a good avenue to springboard Procurement Knowhow.
