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.

Professor Khankan did a really great job explaining the material! She's a really great lecturer, so if you have the chance, I would take it with her. To study for the midterm and final, I would just watch her bruincasts and it was enough.

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.

I can't tell you to avoid this class, because if you're reading this, 7C is probably a requirement for you. But I can tell you to prepare. If you've taken 7A and 7B already then you know what the workload looks like. So imagine that, but with concepts that aren't intuitive or familiar. You will have to study quite hard to succeed in this class, because you need both memory and really solid application of knowledge skills. The first midterm for my class was a joke. I think the average was like 55%. No one was prepared because it's simple enough to review the material, but when you open the test and realize that not a single question will be something that was directly said to you, things go downhill real quick.

Once you get the hang of the testing style and do a TON of practice problems, it's not so bad. You still get the free points from readings and PCRQs and all that, but the PEQs are much harder and the midterms and final takes up a larger percent of your grade, too. I only got an A- because I really locked in on the final and got over 95%.

Khankan herself is a really good professor and genuinely tries her best to make sure you understand the material. If you reach out to her she's really responsive and helpful. The lectures go really fast because of how much material needs to be covered, but she does a good job at explaining thoroughly and answering questions in a way that makes sense.

Good luck soldier.
