Having Dr. Khankan as a professor for the beginning of LS7C was a great fit. Her lecturing style is very straightforward and clear, and she answers all questions that students will have in chat. She's a huge help during lecture and I highly recommend taking this class with her. Even though the beginning of the course's material is more difficult to understand, Prof. Khankan is AMAZING at explaining concepts clearly that even someone like me that barely pays attention in class will still learn something from lecture.
I do have a personal irk (?) however, as I felt like I couldn't rely on her to answer my questions during exams. I had asked a clarification question about an exam prompt and she simply told me to reread the question (as if I hadn't a dozen times). All I asked was confirmation that I was reading the question correctly and comparing 2 sets of data against each other (as stated by prompt), which unfortunately wasn't answered. I'm sure she was swamped by other students' questions, but a simple "yes" or "no" would've been nice.
Despite that, I still really appreciate the effort Dr. Khankan puts into this class and how she makes sure that every student's question is clarified during lecture. Totally recommend.

Professor Khankan is truly one of the best professors I've taken from the LS series. She explained each clicker questions well, and she is clear with her explanation during office hours. I like her teaching style because she is concise in teaching hard concepts. I've never got 100% in an LS midterm before, but I think that my learning became easier because of her explanations!

Here is some advice that helps me succeed in this class:
- Attend each CLC sessions (VERY HELPFUL)
- Go to one of her office hours each week and have your questions ready (review the slides before going)
- Start reading the learning objectives every week before doing the launchpad homework.
- During the lecture, write an explanation for each of the clicker questions. Mark the CQ you got wrong, and have this ready for office hours.
- When studying for a midterm, try to come up with questions that answer the different choices from a clicker question.
- Answer the learning objectives either through writing or vocally when studying for a test.
- I usually don't read launchpad. However, if you don't know anything what the professor talked about after the synchronous lecture, let those new terms be the guide to skim over the launchpad readings.
- CAMPUSWIRE—look through your peers' questions because you might have the same concerns.
- Study the discussion sheet provided because some are in the midterms.

THE LS SERIES WAS SO HARD, for me anyways. Professor Khankan taught the first half of my class and her lectures were very engaging! She knows the material very well and she makes you feel very comfortable in her class. The exams for this class were a bit difficult just because there is so much you need to know. If you take this class, please don't pick Eranthi as your TA for discussion. She is so picky!

I absolutely loved LS 7C with Khankan. Her lectures were very engaging, and the fact that her voice is loud helped me stay awake and alert for our morning lectures. I felt comfortable enough to ask her any question that I wanted because she is so welcoming and kind. She explains concepts very well, and it is evident that she cares about her student's learning.

The main issue with the LS7 series is how HORRIFICALLY AWFUL the tests are. Every single test has typos and multiple incorrect answers that needed to be corrected. Questions are so vague they are honestly not even fairly written. I've worked as a tutor for many years and the quality of actual education in this class was abysmal, but the worst part by far are the tests. Even if you study every provided resource, the test questions are not even tangentially related to the course content, they rely on badly communicated assumptions and extremely generalized concepts.
Restructure the LS7 series, its really really really bad.

Dr. Khankan was great! I have a few qualms with the structure of the LS series courses (way too much busywork, poorly written exams, etc..), but that will be the case with any professor (as the courses are standardized). Khankan is super engaging and she really cares about her students. She was super accommodating (covid-related but also disability-related) and always checking in on students. She wasn't the best at answering questions (she often misinterpreted my questions), but her lectures were mostly very clear and engaging. She also gives many EC opportunities!

tldr: I would highly recommend Dr. Khankan as a professor for LS7A!

As you know by now, the LS7 series SUCKS. 7C was by far my least favorite (and the hardest/densest) of the series. I never wanted to be a doctor, but now I KNOW that I could never be a doctor. Khankan is cool though. She's really great at explaining everything and has fun office hours.

There was a lot of material in this class but Khankan managed to do a good job of covering it. This class is a "flipped" class, where we're supposed to do a lot of the learning on or own, in reading the textbook, and then lecture is more of a review of what we were supposed to have learnt. Idk, I like biology so it wasn't too hard for me to stay engaged. I did get behind in material a little in the middle of the course, which made lectures confusing, but once I got caught up they started making more sense. You get out of it what you put in. Stay on track and try to ask lots of questions, and you should be fine.
Khankan is generally very friendly and clear, and she genuinely tries to help students. If anything is confusing you all you have to do is ask.

Dr. Khankan is AMAZING and is probably one of the best professors for 7C! As a class, LS 7C is tough mostly because you go through so much content every week. Launchpad is such a drag (as it usually is) and the exams feel impossible because exam questions are worded so weirdly. At this point though, you should understand how the LS 7 series is ran, so I would honestly recommend going over the diagrams provided in lecture, do all of the extra credit offered, and go over the learning objectives before each exam. I did not think the CLC sessions were too helpful in terms of mimicking exam questions, but they did help me understand concepts so I would still recommend attempting them! Dr. Khankan is also a very helpful and clear professor, so you will be in good hands with her!

I have no clue how I got a B for this class, I failed every exam. A big part of that was the structure of the class. I despise launchpad. Nevertheless, the material is super interesting (coming from a physiological science major). If I could do it so can you!
