FOR LS7C: khankhan was super nice and seemed very informed on the material. She explained stuff pretty well at lectures 7 I'd advice to take some notes b/c the slides don't cover everything. Luckily this class is bruincasted in case you miss something. But even with her great teaching, the 7 series is still pretty new. So i felt like the tests weren't up to the same level as her teaching. Only b/c the tests are pure true/false and they are really set up to trick you. I can't blame her though b/c the teachers seem to be learing how to teach better within the 7 series. Just go to office hours and pay attention in lecture.

I personally loved LS2 with Professor Khankan. The LS series has a reputation of being highly competitive and weeding out students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, but Professor Khankan made her grading scheme on a point scale so that you did not have to worry about doing well relative to other people. I think this made me feel a lot more comfortable asking questions and collaborating with other people, which is really important in memorization-heavy classes. Her class wasn't podcasted during the summer so I ended up recording her lectures on my phone and listening back to parts of the lecture that I was confused on. She's a good lecturer--articulates the material clearly and concisely, and humors students (which is good because the material can get dense and you end up losing focus sometimes). The LS series is a difficult one in general, so if you're expecting not to put a lot of effort into the class it's not fair to complain that the course itself was at fault.

Took Dr. Khankan for LS3 during Winter 2017. She was not a viable teacher to teach this course nor was she interested in well being of her students. The fact that no one got a 100 or 98 on either of her midterms shows that there is something seriously lacking in her teaching approach. She is not flexible when it comes to helping students nor is she concerned about her students' performance on her examinations. She does not seem all that knowledgeable about the course material and it is evident that professorship is a mandated activity for her research career here at UCLA. While I ended up getting an A in LS3, it was definitely one heck of a quarter with two hard midterm exams and a hard final. The class was apparently "straight" scaled but in reality it was eventually curved due to the low distribution of scores.

*Took LS3*

I loved Dr. Khankan! She was a very good lecturer and is also very funny. Although I didn't do as well as I would've liked because her tests are a little challenging, I would definitely recommend her to others.
