Best teacher one could possibly get for BIO 132. This is a hard class but he made it very easy by drawing pictures and using the book. If you understand what he is saying, you wont need to study until a day before the test. Lets you decide what you want on lab exams. Prof. Khan as promised this is from the 'COOL DUDES' table.

He'll never surprise you with exams; he'll notify about each exam 1 week ahead, so you'll always have enough time to repeat the material and get well prepared.

He was very organized. His exams focus on new chapters learned, he doesn't add old stuff onto the new exams. SOOOOO ORGANIZED THATS WHY I PASSED

Professor Khan is easily the best teacher/professor I've ever had. He is highly organized and his lectures are outstanding. The material is complex; however, he makes the learning process fun and engaging. I always felt prepared for exams (take great notes in lecture!). In short, TAKE HIS CLASS!! He is awesome all around and wants you to succeed!

Wonderful professor. As long you pay attention in class and take notes you'll pass the exams and do very well on your assignments and quizzes.

Took his A&P course. He's a wonderful professor. Makes a lot of silly skits and jokes. But he's very caring and understanding. If you need help, definitely ask him questions!

He really does care about his students and was very sweet when I talked to him. Make sure to pay attention and correct him if he mixes smth up. Use lab time well and create practice exams. Write down possible questions and also look at D2L slides.

He's definitely a lot easier than my last AP professor. 8 week summer class. 4 lecture exams, 3 lab exams. Offers extra credit. 1-2 minutes on each station during lab exam. Makes a lot of jokes to try to understand the topics, but noticed some jokes are just inappropriate and insulting. Lectures w/o powerpoints so take really good notes.

He doesn't use powerpoints to lecture, so be prepared to pay attention and take good notes. Be prepared to answer when he calls on you because he's one of those lol. Try not to ask a dumb question because he'll react in a way where he comes across judgemental for asking. Not really accessible during the weekend at all, so don't bother.

8 week summer class - He tells relatable stories during lecture to make it more sense. He offers extra credit. Lab exams easier than lecture exams. Take REALLY good notes & pay attention during lab. Everything that's said from him are in the lab exams. When it comes to lecture exams, do more reading on your own from the textbook for each chapter.

I wouldn't say I am the best student, love to procrastinate especially on studying, but he made it very easy to do well on lab exams. If you just pay attention during lecture and take notes you will do well in the class because he repeatedly tells you info and you will remember it on the tests. Easy hw, extra credit, funny, tbh I learned a lot.

He doesn't project the slide show presentations, but his lectures are very comprehensible and packed with information and white board drawings. He really pieces things together that you wouldn't necessarily be able to make up by reading the slides on your own. Don't zone out, you will miss a ton of content. Go to class!

Very knowledgable/helpful prof. He gives lecture ppts for you to follow along with but he doesn't read straight off of the slides-made it a bit confusing-so take good notes. I will say some previous reviews may have misconstrued his approach in answering questions and giving analogies because I think he genuinely just wants students to succeed!

Despite the high reviews this guy has, if you're a visual learner, this professor will not be the best fit for you. He doesn't use PowerPoint and draws everything out on the whiteboard. Sometimes it got confusing and disorganized as a result.

The class isn't easy, but he really tries to make it manageable. His teaching style is very straightforward—whatever he explains in class is exactly what shows up on the exam, so it's important to write down everything he says. The assignments are simple, and he's very visual. He draws everything on the board and keeps things clear and organized.
