Here is what our Polish instructor reported:

There are three different levels of Hurra!!! Po polsku. We use the beginners set
for Polish 101 and 102, our first year.  In year two, when we have many heritage
speakers with different levels of proficiency in Polish, we use an intermediate
level book Z polskim na ty.
 
We used Czesc, jak sie masz two years ago but discontinued it. This textbook is
helpful for conversation practices. It is not meant to explain or improve
understanding of Polish grammar which our students need the most.

The instructors of Polish here at UC Berkeley tell me they use "Czesc  
Jak Sie Masz" for the first-year course and "Hurra po polsku" for the  
second-year course. They also hold a very popular Polish conversation  
hour every week featuring yummy Polish food & drink here at the  
Language Center. I hear lots of conviviality in Polish when I pass by.
