I think this class was super engaging! I would advise people to stay on top of the content, especially because midterms are about 2 weeks behind lecture material. I personally waited to learn all of the second midterm content after taking the first midterm, but that was quite stressful and made lectures less useful. Use Campuswire! Not only do you get extra credit, but it's also really helpful to answer other people's questions because it helps you find gaps in your own knowledge. This course is known for being hard, but it's really interesting and there are a lot of opportunities to do better in the class. You'll do great!
The class is pretty challenging, and you definitely need to be on top of the readings because they will build off of one another, and cramming for this class is pretty ill-advised. Launchpad wasn't the most helpful, and I would focus on understanding all the learning objectives thoroughly.
Khan Khan is a great at detailed explanations that help you understand the problem.
This class is structured like every other class in the 7 series with weekly reading and quizzes on launchpad (I think now they switched to achieve). Midterms in my opinion were harder than the midterms from 7A and 7B but even if you don't do well on them there is a group portion and the rest of the assignments act as enough of a buffer to still get a better grade in the class. Lectures are helpful as many of the clicker questions are similar to exam questions, and the exams have questions very similar to what Khankan emphasizes in lecture. Overall, Khankan was one of my favorite professors from the 7 series and offered clear, engaging lectures and helpful review sessions, as well as seemed to genuinely care about students.
The content was interesting, but there is just so much material to get through which makes it really hard to stay on top. Her tests were also challenging and I felt like I was drowning in this class.
The class content was really interesting and Dr. Khankhan made it even more engaging.
This class was super interesting and the content was really cool, there was just a lot to learn and most of it was readings outside of class. It's pretty easy to get by without doing the readings though. The lectures are mandatory with location based clickers. (at least for Khankhan as the teacher)
Khankan is a great professor! This class is very interesting and while the assignments can be tedious, I did learn a lot. Very similar structure to the rest of the 7 series.
Class covers a bunch of topics early on and it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Tests are really hard and are nothing like what you see in class. Final is a lot easier compared to MT1 and MT2. Don't stress at all if you did well on those.
