I would highly recommend taking this class with Professor Khankan! Her teaching style is great; her lectures are very clear, she answers questions and makes herself available to students.
This class focuses more on problem-solving skills applied to course material rather than intensive memorization of the material. Hence, you are better off studying the hand-outs, graphs, rather than learning every piece of information.

Took Khankan over Esdin because Khankan Bruincasted and I knew from friends who took the class already that Esdin did not (maybe changed now?). 7C was definitely the hardest class out of the LS 7 series. I did bad on the first midterm, but when I started watching every Bruincast they helped A LOT and I was able to do better on midterm 2 and the final. I'd basically watch every Bruincast again, something I barely did in 7A and 7B, to hear her explanations for every clicker question. A lot of the stuff on Launchpad is NOT helpful, especially when it talks about all the body systems in different organisms, so I would only look at Launchpad for super specific questions about something when studying.
Khankan lived on the Hill so it was super convenient when she held OH/Reviews the night before the midterms and final on the Hill at like 10 pm. I only went to one of her OH though because they were pretty crowded but I went to my TA's before every midterm to ask specific questions and practically no one else was there. Final was weird--it was super easy for all the gene editing/bacteria stuff (Weeks 7-10) but everything else pertaining Weeks 1-6 (30% of questions on the final) was pretty hard. Definitely study Weeks 1-6 for the final.

Dr. Khankan is the BEST! I fell in love with biology in this class and Khankan just made the experience even better. She gives engaging lectures and does not hesitate to help her students out. If you have the chance to take any class with her, jump on it -- your grade and learning will thank you.

If you're taking this class, you're probably already used to the 7 series and know the level of difficulty of tests. I would say I found 7B tests harder but only because I didn't enjoy the content so I didn't learn as well. In this class, human physiology is so damn interesting and it more or less came as second nature to me on the tests. However, this class being online meant the midterms had short answers (which was new to the 7 series) and the professors did NOT allow us to look at what we missed on the MCs (which definitely hindered my understanding and learning) so in general the class did mediocre on the midterms.

Khankan is one of the best lecturers I've ever had at UCLA. She explains concepts and clicker questions very clearly and her office hours are so helpful if you want to do well in the class. She's super understanding and caring. LS7C is a pretty tough class so I would definitely recommend taking it with Khankan!

This class was so great! Professor Khankan was an amazing lecturer, and I honestly found it difficult to not understand things when she explained. The material covered in the course was still difficult and required much review and analysis (CLC sessions are SO important for this), but Professor Khankan makes herself available as often as possible after lecture or during office hours. Some of the questions on Launchpad (the online homework/textbook platform) were sort of unfair, in my opinion, which was exacerbated by the fact that every point counted in this class. However, if you attend CLC sessions, office hours, and make the most of every lecture, you will succeed. Be sure to practice analyzing every physiological system (from genes to skin to digestive system to the whole body) for each of the three exams in this course.

The tests were insanely hard. I recommend not taking her for LS3. Nearly every question required extensive critical thinking on each subject, when most of what is taught in class is how a certain process works. There is tons of busywork on launchpad, which by the way costs $120. She is helpful in office hours, but her exams are tricky.

*Took LS3*

I loved Dr. Khankan! She was a very good lecturer and is also very funny. Although I didn't do as well as I would've liked because her tests are a little challenging, I would definitely recommend her to others.

Dr. Khankan is a pretty good lecturer. She's engaging and pretty funny. The material of LS3 was definitely less intense than LS2, but wow her tests were tricky. Know all the material so well you think you're over prepared. The true false questions can really get you. They'll often rely on one specific fact. That specific fact will make you get it wrong, even though you knew the overarching themes and a lot of other details. The test averages were always in the 70s. That being said, if I had the choice to go back and take this class with her again I would. The class wasn't bad and I think she ended up curving a few percent at the end. Also there are a bunch of free points from clickers and discussion section. The discussion sections had quizzes starting mid quarter, but I found them to not be hard and usually got 100%. Just review her slides and really stay on top of it.

I personally loved LS2 with Professor Khankan. The LS series has a reputation of being highly competitive and weeding out students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, but Professor Khankan made her grading scheme on a point scale so that you did not have to worry about doing well relative to other people. I think this made me feel a lot more comfortable asking questions and collaborating with other people, which is really important in memorization-heavy classes. Her class wasn't podcasted during the summer so I ended up recording her lectures on my phone and listening back to parts of the lecture that I was confused on. She's a good lecturer--articulates the material clearly and concisely, and humors students (which is good because the material can get dense and you end up losing focus sometimes). The LS series is a difficult one in general, so if you're expecting not to put a lot of effort into the class it's not fair to complain that the course itself was at fault.

Professor Rana is an excellent professor. Her lectures are funny and clear. She does not try to trick you or confuse you. She is so helpful and open outside of class. The material it's hard alone, but Professor khankan does an amazing job making it more understandable. She does bring some concept questions but that's just to make you a better student in the subject. What I could recall from her midterms, it had MC , fill in the blank, and short response. You will have to put in some work and study because there is a lot of material. It's not easy but it's doable. And very interesting with a Dr. Khankan.
Labs are fun too, real cadavers. I had a great TA , Gaby. I'm not sure if she'll TA for this lower div again but I know she TAs for other upper div physci classes and will suggest picking her.

Overall both these ladies know their stuff, are very sweet, very helpful. I would highly recommend them!
