This was probably my favorite class in the 7 series content wise, but don't get me wrong it is fairly difficult. I absolutely loved professor Khankan. She made class super engaging with optional worksheets or problems to help us use the tools we were learning about and had lots of clicker questions which could be a bit annoying but were incredibly helpful while studying for the exam. The class was structured fairly similarly to the other classes in the series but is broken down as follows: Midterm 1 90pt, midterm 2 90pt, final 180 pt, discussion 72 pt, participation 72 pt, launchpad activities 45pt, pre-class review questions 45pt, PEQ's 45pt, syllabus quiz 5pt. The midterms had an optional 2 point reflection and a 6 point mini quiz as extra credit. I'm not going to sugar coat it the midterms were incredibly difficult. I didn't do a ton of the prep work before classes so to study for the midterm I would do all of the pre-class worksheets but I highly recommend doing them as you go. The best things that helped me the most, especially for the final, was to go through all of the clicker questions and write out explanations for why the answer is correct, make a study guide based on the learning goals and objectives, write out explanations for the practice exam questions, and do the CLC worksheets. The final felt much easier to me then the first two midterms, but that may have just been because I studied like a crazy person for it. There were an obnoxious amount of sort of trick questions as the majority of the tests were true or false and results took around a week to come out. Overall I highly recommend taking this class with her. The majority of the issues are with the class and LS core both of which she does not really have any control over.

While Khankan is a good lecturer & professor, I think especially this quarter, LS 7C gave everyone a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety, in an already difficult time. Launchpad was particularly unhelpful, and the tests had very poor wording (which did not change despite feedback from students). As a result, many students did poorly in the exams, and while the professors & TAs kept stressing that they would give us opportunities to make up lost points, these opportunities were limited. LS 7C was much harder compared to 7A & 7B, and there also seemed to be less room for error (because students did worser in the midterms). I think overall that the way LS7C is structured definitely needs to change, because it just isn't working, but everyone has to take it anyways.

Note: unlike previous classes, this quarter our grades were not curved. It felt like they were trying to make sure they didn't have to curve by throwing in a lot of random extra credit surveys at the end (like Week 10).

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.

Professor Khankan is the MOST fantastic LS professor without doubts. She is super clear with everything. The class is super engaging and efficient. She is patient with every question. The class sometimes popped up extended knowledge, which is very interesting. Best Experience Ever!!!!

Khankan is the best professor to take an LS series class with. She has taught the LS core classes for many quarters so she has a very in depth understanding of the material and what will be asked on the exams. She is also very approachable, passionate about the material she is teaching, and will answer any question about the material no matter how simple or straightforward (so don't be afraid to ask questions!!) I highly highly recommend to attend her office hours which are extremely helpful!! Even if you don't have any questions, she clear up confusing concepts and test students with example (very realistic) exam questions.

Prof. Khankan was one of the greatest professors I have had so far at my time at UCLA. She was very good at explaining complicated topics and offered many office hours for more options to understand. She was very straightforward and cared about her students. This quarter was online, but she handled it very well and offered many resources and alternatives for students in special circumstances. If you have the option to take her, do it.

Khankan is hands down the best LS professor I have encountered. I think by 7C the points and wording on questions and worksheets were pretty standard, 7C just felt like there was a lot more material than the others. That being said it was the most interesting material. The first midterm was pretty easy, the second midterm required you to have some material just memorized which was unexpected(bc they're literally always harping about how we do not have to memorize anything), and the final was about on par with the second midterm--the new material was extremely easy and the review was a lot of "yeah sure sounds about right". I did not put in that much work for this class in terms of studying (maybe like 2 hours total for the first midterm, 6 hours for the second, and a fair amount for the final) but I also tend to do well on the logical way the questions are worded on the exams. Overall what changed this course for me was going to her office hours almost every single time. They were so helpful and honestly really enjoyable to the point that even if you felt you understood everything or knew nothing, you would come out having learned a lot and feeling better. She is incredibly nice and genuine, but she's also just not afraid to act like a real human being with us. 10/10 would recommend. she also ended up curving our course at least 2% in the end fyi.

I would highly recommend taking this class with Professor Khankan! Her teaching style is great; her lectures are very clear, she answers questions and makes herself available to students.
This class focuses more on problem-solving skills applied to course material rather than intensive memorization of the material. Hence, you are better off studying the hand-outs, graphs, rather than learning every piece of information.

This class was so great! Professor Khankan was an amazing lecturer, and I honestly found it difficult to not understand things when she explained. The material covered in the course was still difficult and required much review and analysis (CLC sessions are SO important for this), but Professor Khankan makes herself available as often as possible after lecture or during office hours. Some of the questions on Launchpad (the online homework/textbook platform) were sort of unfair, in my opinion, which was exacerbated by the fact that every point counted in this class. However, if you attend CLC sessions, office hours, and make the most of every lecture, you will succeed. Be sure to practice analyzing every physiological system (from genes to skin to digestive system to the whole body) for each of the three exams in this course.

Dr. Khankan is the BEST! I fell in love with biology in this class and Khankan just made the experience even better. She gives engaging lectures and does not hesitate to help her students out. If you have the chance to take any class with her, jump on it -- your grade and learning will thank you.

If you're taking this class, you're probably already used to the 7 series and know the level of difficulty of tests. I would say I found 7B tests harder but only because I didn't enjoy the content so I didn't learn as well. In this class, human physiology is so damn interesting and it more or less came as second nature to me on the tests. However, this class being online meant the midterms had short answers (which was new to the 7 series) and the professors did NOT allow us to look at what we missed on the MCs (which definitely hindered my understanding and learning) so in general the class did mediocre on the midterms.
