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 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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
Khankan is one of the best biology teachers, and to be quite frank blows all the other 7 series instructors out of the water. She is so helpful and incredibly engaging in her lectures. I had the pleasure of having her for 7A and 7C so I was quite aware on how she runs a class. Since this is 7C you should be somewhat aware how they structure test, and I would say 7C has the more easier tests, though that may just be because the content in this class is more enjoyable than the other classes. I can guarantee that you will not have a bad time with class if you take it with Khankan.
