It's the LS 7 series, and 7C suffers from the same problems as 7A and 7B. Launchpad is annoying, and the exams seem designed to trick you, not test your understanding of the material (the exams are most difficult for 7C). That said, if you have to take 7C, and you probably do, Dr. Khankan is a good choice as a professor. She is engaging in lecture and helpful in office hours, and I do think she wants students to be successful.

Khankan was a great professor! Very engaging and funny - often walked around the hall during lecture and talked to students. Would recommend taking with her. As all 7c series the exams are worth a lot of your grade, there are two midterms and one final. Midterm 1 came as a shock and was very hard. The questions in all of the exams in this class are worded terribly and are often confusing/not concise. Don't worry if you score low on the first midterm because the questions are tricky - the second midterm and final are better once you get the hang of what type of thought process they want you to go through on tests.

Before taking this class I was extremely afraid because of the reviews and comments about the exams. As these reviews were somewhat right as this class was the hardest class I've taken so far, but it was also one of my favorites. The content is super interesting and Professor Khankan explains everything so thoroughly. She was one of the best professors I have had so if you are taking this class PLEASE try to get her as your professor!! As you have probably seen from other reviews, the tests are absolutely brutal. However, they are online so that takes away a little bit of test anxiety. Additionally, the exams aren't a major part of your grade so if you do poorly there are other things that will help to bring up your grade. I scored an 86% and 80% on the midterms and an 85% on the final exam but still ended with an A because of extra credit and doing launchpad every week. I absolutely loved this class so do not let the bad reviews scare you away!
