Reviews of professor Michael Darden

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is a great class. The lectures, readings and assignments were coherent and gave an excellent and nuanced view of the healthcare industry today. A background in microeconomics would be helpful in order to get the most out of the class. There are frequent but brief writing assignments that help synthesize the material.

This class was tough but applicable. the frequent quizzes really made you learn the material. One of the more practically useful health econ classes I have taken Dr. Darden cares about the students and wants you to succeed. He is always willing to meet outside of class and review questions you might have. taking micro economics before this class

Took the online course. It was fantastic! Much useful information that enhanced my understanding of the US healthcare system. Was applicable to my work in health insurance. 3-4 articles to read each week and three papers to write. Great sync sessions and office hours. Group discussions are hit/miss depending on which students you get stuck with.
