Topics Covered in the Course

Basics about Health policy: Various laws in the health domain and brief history about policy decisions. Don’t quite remember since it had very little relevance with the exam questions.

Teaching Style

Very boring. A visiting prof will teach for the entire semester, going through text filled slides, 100 per lecture.

Tutorials/Assignments/Projects

Easy assignments. Project work required forming teams of 4-6, doing research and gathering data on a topic, making reports and presentation in front of the class. Very little relevance with the content of the classes

Feedback on Exams

Common sense questions, pretty easy. Some questions required mugging through the slides, ex - laws and policy decisions in history

Motivation for taking this course
