I think this was her first quarter teaching the class and it was literally all over the place. I felt bad for her because you could tell she was trying, but the homework never correlated with lecture and sometimes discussions didn't even match up. So much busy work on launchpad and I just generally hated this class and am actually changing my major as a result. The tests were insanely difficult. I think it's the hardest class I've taken so far at UCLA. I got a C on every exam, but did all the launchpad and and got all the participation points and ended up with a B. I think she could be a good professor for this class if it was more structured and organized.

I took LS 3 with her.
Professor Khankan is a very kind person but don't be fooled. While her grading scheme is very generous (almost 50% of your grade is busywork) the simulations you had to do almost every week on launchpad were really difficult and it was easy to lose points there. The reading and video quizzes weren't too bad as you were able to pause the time limit and take all the time to find the answers online. She dropped your two lowest clicker days so I guess clickers points weren't too bad. Although the first 5 weeks of discussion everyone got full points, starting week 6 she suddenly threw in discussion quizzes 5 questions each week in which the questions sometimes were really specific and it was easy to lose a point because of that. Lastly, her tests had questions that were some of the trickiest I've seen in any multiple choice test so far and you had to really know the material to get a good grade. Because of her tests, her class is extremely difficult to get an A in. Overall, while I liked her lectures, she wasn't the best professor.

FOR LS7C: khankhan was super nice and seemed very informed on the material. She explained stuff pretty well at lectures 7 I'd advice to take some notes b/c the slides don't cover everything. Luckily this class is bruincasted in case you miss something. But even with her great teaching, the 7 series is still pretty new. So i felt like the tests weren't up to the same level as her teaching. Only b/c the tests are pure true/false and they are really set up to trick you. I can't blame her though b/c the teachers seem to be learing how to teach better within the 7 series. Just go to office hours and pay attention in lecture.

Amazing teacher and good class if you put in the work. Highly recommend going to office hours and asking questions about what muscles are working with what types of movement, and going over general anatomy in the second half of the course. She gave us sheets on what muscles do what movement and you are expected to memorize and understand that for the practicals as well. For the first half of the course, you will be going over all the body systems, which in my opinion, was really difficult. Her tests are hard and I recommend studying in groups and explaining to someone the exact steps each system goes through, where they get their blood supply, etc. Overall, I really enjoyed Professor Khankan and good luck in the course!

If you want to get an A in this class, or even enjoy this class at all, I highly suggest that you avoid taking it with Professor Khankan. I very rarely dislike professors beyond their grading scheme, but I disliked almost everything about her teaching method. She is sarcastic and funny, and she knows her material. However, I felt like she didn't try at all to be helpful throughout the course. She was condescending, her tests were RIDICULOUSLY hard, and the workload was absolutely ridiculous. Not only that, but I genuinely felt like she did not care about her students or how they were learning the class material. Really did not enjoy this class with her.

Took Dr. Khankan for LS3 during Winter 2017. She was not a viable teacher to teach this course nor was she interested in well being of her students. The fact that no one got a 100 or 98 on either of her midterms shows that there is something seriously lacking in her teaching approach. She is not flexible when it comes to helping students nor is she concerned about her students' performance on her examinations. She does not seem all that knowledgeable about the course material and it is evident that professorship is a mandated activity for her research career here at UCLA. While I ended up getting an A in LS3, it was definitely one heck of a quarter with two hard midterm exams and a hard final. The class was apparently "straight" scaled but in reality it was eventually curved due to the low distribution of scores.

This class was surprisingly tolerable. I heard so many bad things about Khankan from other Bruinwalk reviews, but she wasn't that bad. I mean she wasn't amazing, but she wasn't too horrible. Yes, the class isn't the most exciting and she spends way too much time waiting for clickers, but that's not the worst thing in the world. Exams are hard as expected. The questions are stereotypically "tricky" like the rest of the LS series. You have to memorize more info than the other LS classes, but not too bad. Overall, she's the not the best, not the worst, but it's not the end of the world if you end up stuck with her. Plus she gives 8 points of extra credit or something at the end of the course, and also since our class did above 75 average, the class ended up not being curved. But like all the other classes just do the clickers, do the discussion section, and the launchpad stuff and you get almost half the points given to you free A, so you just need like an 88 or whatever to get an A. Overall, not that bad.

Took 7A and 7C with her and am so glad I did. Her lectures are bruincasted so you can go back and listen to explanations for things like clicker questions, which she also explains very clearly (better than the other professors according to my friends in another 7C lecture).

This class is definitely the most difficult of the 7 series, but Khankan is good at explaining difficult physiological concepts. Launchpad can be tedious, but all of the answers are online on quizlet so getting most points shouldn’t be too difficult. Exams are definitely challenging but not impossible.

As said before, I found this class to be the most difficult of the 7 series just because there's so much information. But that's not a result of the professors, - all 7 series classes use Launchpad and same exam format. Khankan explained concepts and clickers better than the other professors I've had for the 7 series, and her lectures are Bruincasted so you can always go and hear back how she explained something before any tests, which is really helpful.
