This is more of a review for the class than Khankan, but this is one of the most poorly structured classes I've taken. LS 7B and A were annoying but doable, but the first two exams have been my worst two in my life. The resources (especially launchpad) really don't help and they are not very accommadating, hopefully it gets better when its back in person or they change the course structure

Take Khankan (or Esdin, honestly both great professors; you shouldn't worry about this aspect). She is really clear in her explanations and is able to connect ideas from previous weeks to what we learn later in the course (which I really appreciate).
But as for the course, easily the worst of the LS7 series. Take it from someone who loved Anatomy&Physiology in high school and is a PhySci major, this class ruined a lot for me. OK that may be a bit overdramatic but still, this class was something else. LS7A and 7B were doable as the material was easy to learn and exams were predictable. Nothing against Prof. Khankan, but the terribly worded and confusing tests and utter uselessness of the textbook made this class too stressful and unnecessarily difficult.
The class is structured similarly to the two previous courses, so theres not much to add on. Do the extra credit (it can really help your grade) and utilize Campuswire. Also, shoutout to Kevin, my favorite TA ever.
And one more thing...big thumbs down to the series because it takes so damn long to release test scores. Should take two days MAX.

While the whole LS7 series is not structured really well, Professor Khankan makes the best out of it. By always being engaging, funny, and very informative of the material, she makes this series not so bad after all. In all honesty, she is the best professor for LS7A!

Professor Khankan is incredible and teaching and really cares for her students. She made biology (a subject I hated in high school) interesting and exciting and her class made me excited to work hard because it would always show on the exams. I really appreciate this professor and for sure take her if you have the chance.

Professor Khankan makes a boring class unboring. Took it with Pires the first time, BIGGEST MISTAKE I'VE MADE AT UCLA. If you are bored with Khankan, oof, try taking 7A with Pires, you will die of boredom (quite literally). But with Khankan, man, she actually makes me want to pay attention, she is extremely helpful and quite funny at times. She brings so many positive vibes to the classroom and tries to work with what she has. The class is not as easy as others but that is simply due to the LS department itself, which professor Khankan has no power over. Professor Khankan makes it so that you are not afraid of questioning things and making your own questions, to her every question is a great question. I would definitely take a class with her again.

Aside from the professor, the class itself is structured in a way that makes you struggle. There is no practice exam questions or anything that is LIKE the exam. The launchpad questions are a breeze compared to the exam itself. The exams are more structured as a "What IF?" and not a "What is" type. You really need to analyze all possible scenarios that could happen if things are missing in a certain part of a process. Some questions are really confusing because they are given as statements rather than as questions.

Prof Khankan was seriously a lifesaver for 7A. The material through launchpad is super dense and sometimes difficult to understand and apply, but Dr. Khankan does a great job explaining the topics and applying them in clicker questions. She's super funny and comes up with relateable examples to demonstrate and remember certain things. I honestly don't think I would have had such a good experience (considering the course) with any other professor, and I wish she taught 7B as well. To do well in the class in general:

DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT YOU CAN. The extra credit points throughout the quarter let me prorate the final, which I was definitely not in the correct mindset to take with everything else going on this quarter.

Do the launchpad. Some people can get away with not really reading through it, but for me, I read the text and took good notes every week, and it honestly helped me learn a lot.

For exams: all you need for prep is to go through the learning objectives (I like to write them) and the clicker questions again. If I have time, I like to go through the lecture slides too since sometimes there's some niche topics that'll pop up on the midterms.

I honestly LOVE Khankan. She is really good at explaining concepts and clarifies any questions you have. Before each exam she held on the hill office hours at like 10pm which I appreciated very much. The class itself is a lot of work depending on the type of student you are. For me, I need to read and review everything because I won't get it on the first try. I took a fair amount of notes on launchpad, reviewed clicker questions, went to PLF sessions and CLC sessions which made me succeed in the class. Exams are all application type questions so when she tells you to understand the concepts instead of memorizing small details, she means it. Would take her again.

Professor Khankan is a great and engaging lecturer. This is most evident when our lecturer switched near the end of the course; you truly realize how interesting she can make a long 1hr 15min lecture be in comparison to others. The lecture slides aren't very content heavy, and I didn't bother taking notes over them. The most effective method I found is to thoroughly read and take notes over the Launchpad readings before lecture, and have the lecture serve as a content review. Professor Khankan's lecturing is very clear, well organized, and engaging.

While I have the same complaints about wording and typos on exams, since the department and not the professor makes the exams this is essentially out of her control. However, the exams are still fair, and everything we have been tested over has been covered in either Launchpad readings or in class. I had no problem with time on the exams as well. There is a lot of content covered in one quarter, so I highly recommend that you stay on top of things and not fall behind.

You can tell that Professor Khankan cares greatly about student learning. She holds office hours four times a week, three of them are content office hours and one is for non-content office hours which is a great opportunity to chat with her and get to know her. During office hours she answers any and all questions very thoroughly and clearly to her best ability. Overall the LS7A class may have some flaws, but I highly recommend you choose her as your professor if you get the chance.

Really easy class. Khankan is super clear about everything and if you use the resources she gives you you’ll easily get an A. I didn’t do any launchpad readings or go to any extra office hours. All you do is the day before the final, review all the clicker questions discussion sheets and the practice exam questions. Understand exactly why the answer is the best choice and none of the other answers are correct and you should be good to go.

Learning from Professor Khankan was absolutely wonderful, and I am grateful for all the knowledge I gained in this class. The tests were slightly hard, but the content was fun as it was all related to human biology.
