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!

Nice enough professor. LS 7C just another stop in the LS series, boring and designed to make teaching as easy as possible for the professor.

I really enjoyed the content of this class and found professor khankan very engaging and friendly. She used slides during lecture and used clicker questions (you need to buy an iclicker and participation matters), and she thoroughly explained every clicker so we knew what was going on. Discussion is also mandatory, you work in groups and do worksheets together on gradscope and it's briefly gone over at the end of section. There are 2 midterms and 1 final, all of them are very difficult (but you must have taken ls7a and ls7b so it's the same gist as those tests). She is a very kind and understanding professor and really tries to help you pass the class. There is also some extra credit available by talking on campuswire and helping other students on there.

Overall, would take again for another course.

I found 7C to be by far the most interesting class of the 7 series. Dr. K was extremely caring and super available to help. The exams can be really tough and 7C gets a really bad rap as the final 7 series class but if you are proactive, you can definitely do well in this class. You can't go wrong with taking this class with Dr. K.

I really liked Dr. K. She was really nice, understanding, knowledgable, and overall a great professor. It's very clear that she's passionate about teaching and cares a lot about her students. It's about the same structure as 7A (presumably across the entire 7 series but I didn't take 7B as it's not required for my major) with clickers, launchpad, discussion worksheets, exams on ccle, etc. It's graded on a straight scale and based on a set number of points.

The exams were pretty hard though. There's a lot of tricky questions that you have to read over and over again. One word can change the context of the entire question so you can't make assumptions. If you do, that's an indicator that you have to reevaluate the question. Definitely try to use the entire amount of time allotted, even if you finish early. Check your answers. It can be real frustrating lol. It's definitely harder than 7A imo. Thankfully I was doing this class and another physio class at the same time so I got to see similar concepts multiple times which probably helped out a lot. Out of the things given directly from this class (this doesn't include the problem solving sessions), discussion worksheets and clickers were the most helpful resources when studying the exams.
The group phase of the midterm exams are slightly different from 7A. There's 2 parts: an untimed group "consensus" with only a couple questions to do and a timed 15 - 20min phase of MCQs and fill-in-the-blanks.

Discussion, clickers, launchpad, etc are pretty standard. Launchpad is time consuming as usual but necessary to understand things in lecture. Multiple extra credit opportunities were offered (roughly 15 pts worth?).

The class is definitely doable but not easy. You have to be cautious on wording and make sure you understand every diagram shown.

My favourite professor yet! She adopted the LS7 series format really well into her teaching style, which made me love the class and made my concepts really really clear. She collaborated what we learnt on Launchpad with the clickers in class, which was not always the case in previous LS7 classes. She gave us enough time during clicker questions, and explained them afterwards in a straightforward, knowledgeable, easy-to-comprehend manner. Take her if you can! And attend her office hours, whether or not you have questions - she answers questions that people have in a lecture-like style so it will emphasize the concepts that have already been covered in class and will make them stick in your head. Just attend all her classes and pay attention to the explanation she gives for the clicker questions and you'll be fine in the midterms and final.

Note: My review is not for Prof Khankan, but rather this is a review for the course because even if a prof is excellent, the terrible curriculum overpowers any benefits the prof brings to the class.

7C has been my least favorite course in the 7 series, and the 7 series overall has been the lower division requirement that I have thought to be the greatest waste of my time and non-conducive to my learning. As mentioned before, the multiple-choice format of the course causes biology, a fundamentally flexible discipline, to be taught in an extremely rigid, black-and-white format. I don't enjoy this course because I don't think any of the exams or assignments correctly test my understanding of the content. There is no wiggle room for an explanation, there is only: you lost a point because you selected A instead of B, or True instead of False. I am incredibly glad to be done with 7C and I hope that there are major improvements made to the course for future students, improvements that will actually allow students to learn biology in a way that gives them grace and the ability to think beyond five multiple choice options.

Standard LS series work but with graded iclickers. This class is very difficult as you go through almost every new system each week until the last 3 weeks which is about DNA editing. This class felt very applicable and interesting and the professor did everything she could to help and cared a lot about student learning and understanding the content. As expected, the exams are difficult and very conceptual. Going over every worksheet, iclicker, and PEQ isn't enough and I'm not sure what I could've done more. However. I was able to increase my score with each test and got an A so it is possible. I highly recommend finding a test bank as some questions were topics that were brushed over.
