He comes across as funny. He wrote the textbook which is just as unorganized as his class and assignments. He advocates professionalism yet is late and often unprofessional at times. He will not grade anything until the last week of class. He is an "okay" professor at best. He is very old school does not take well to technology or new ideas.

Dr. Khan is a very bad professor. He wrote the book, which is terrible. Looking up information in the textbook is useless. Dr. Khan is never clear on his assignments and never fulfills what he says he will do. All semester long we never knew what we had in the class because he never posted the grades. Avoid him at all costs if you can.

Let me first start off by saying Public Speaking is SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. This professor made me question my sanity in his class. He claims he encourages questions but goes OFF the instant he has to "repeat" himself. He has a copy of the textbook himself but requires everyone else to buy the online book. His pop quizzes are so opinionated as well.

Do not take this class. He is rude, pretentious, and would frequently leave rude comments on my graded outlines or quizzes. He would dedicate entire classes to belittling my class and criticizing us for being "lazy". I always dreaded going to his class. Yes, he is smart, but I don't think his knowledge is worth feeling incompetent.

I am writing another part to my review because I am this frustrated with him. He requires you to buy a book that HE WROTE that costs over $70. I have never had a problem with speaking in front of big groups or presenting projects, however I would get low B's and C's on all of my speeches. I STRONGLY advise you to NOT take his class.

He speaks too low. He'll make a mistake on something with your grade and still not correct it even if the whole class told him. His pop quizzes are so off topic. He's an old guy that finds every little thing disrespectful. He's a scammer! MAKING students pay hundreds of dollars for HIS book every semester. I passed but this class was too stressful.

stay on top of your work, I'm not sure if he is like this every semester but this semester he was slacking. He gave us a bunch of work the last three weeks of school, he wasn't clear on what he wanted on the assignments yet he was very critical when grading. The class was not hard, he made it hard towards the end. just do your work and participate

Hard grade and really confusing tests

Shouldve dropped that class when I had a chance. Awful teacher

Everything mentioned in the previous 1 Star/Awful reviews is true- he's pretentious, long-winded, and at least in the case of his virtual class, wastes time shaming the whole class for small mistakes. He deducts points on assignments for things he never mentioned beforehand. Only took his class because the others were full.

DO NOT TAKE HIM, could be an easy class but makes it difficult for no reason. Save yourself the trouble and go with someone else. Failed my entire class and wasn't even there half the semester.

DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT take him. Such a harsh grader with papers, it is impossible to please him or get an A. He acts like this is a 3k class. He is also rude and sassy when critiquing your paper. He is rude when u ask about things on the syllabus. Inconsistent with quizzes, never tells us when we have one until the last minute. Pls avoid him.

A student disagreed with a statement Dr. Khan made and he said "you cannot disagree with me." Dr. Khan teaches from the textbook. All his lectures are practically reading from it word for word. He is an incredibly tough grader but it is mostly because he doesn't make it clear what criteria is needed for a good grade. He is very behind the times too

0/5. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!! All this professor does is lecture the whole semester. He rushes the 3 speeches (informative, impromptu, and persuasive) and group project to the end of the semester and is a harsh grader. He's EXTREMELY RUDE. Even if you come to class, he will give you a zero on attendance to purposely flunk you if you skip more than 3x.

DO NOT TAKE. For a public speaking class, there are almost no speeches given with most of the class being comprised of lectures that involve more about Dr. Khan's personal life and opinions than anything do to with bettering one's speaking. In fact, it could be argued that the main take away from this class is the top 3 causes of divorce.

Dr. Khan is... interesting. The main thing are the 3 essays. He pulls random material during the first 10 minutes of class and calls it his "lecture". Surprise pop-quizzes and does not know how to work a computer. Attendance will screw your grade so show up on time. Best of luck soldiers. (Oh and you'll learn the top 3 reasons of divorce too.)

Dr.Khan was not a good professor. He was never clear with what he wanted from you and would constantly change his mind on things. Very tough grader, almost as if nothing was good enough for him. Would always talk about the 3 causes of divorce like that had anything to do with the material we were learning....Would not recommend taking this class.

GGC needs to fire this professor. If you take this class I feel bad for you. He is a tough grader and the lectures he reads from the book. The quizzes are pretty easy, he just grades tough on papers. He looks more on the formatting and grammar than the actual essay.

HORRIBLE experience! He talks the entire time!! Very Very boring class. Tough and mean grader. He is not understanding at all. He is a old man and stuck in his old ways.

He isn't an understanding professor, and he grades extremely tough and doesn't grade the context of your essays. He is often cold towards his students, his lectures aren't inspiring, would not recommend.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. The class is just him reading his text book word for word and the website the book is on is nearly useless and full of typos + quiz mistakes. He also said some crazy stuff in support of eugenics and breeding out autism + that autism is caused by rays and chemicals. Aced all my classes except his.

DO NOT TAKE DO NOT TAKE I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH DR. KHAN AS YOUR PROFESSOR. Dr. Khan is an absolutely horrendous excuse of a professor and a human being. Everything that is being said in these reviews is the absolute truth. He will deliberately fail you if given the chance and will also humiliate you in front of everybody for fun.

Probably one of the worst professors I've ever had. He reads straight from the textbook and talks the ENTIRE class period. He invades personal space and calls on everyone, so beware. Unfortunately, he is the only professor teaching this course I need for my CMAP major. Good luck.

It is like he wants you to fail. His ego is sky high and he should not be a professor because he does not care about his students. His feedback is terrible and the way he grades does not make sense. He does not know how to use a computer and will blame you instead of realizing he made a mistake. He liked to make fun of his students (in a bad way)

Made us buy the textbook HE WROTE. Cant leave midclass. SPEAK/talk for participation Bad speaker? Score high on clsswrk/test. VERY tough on speeches. For an intro class, there could've been better methods Doesn't follow dates on syllabus, fine but, at least via email/d2l not just lectures Don't ask to up grade, accept it. I was at an 89.

He interrupted lectures to get onto individual students for minor issues, he would talk down to students, and he graded very harshly in an intro-level public speaking course. Consider that for many students this may be their first time speaking in front of a crowd. Don't take him, GGC does not require public speaking for any majors afaik.

Dr. Khan is the worst professor I've ever had. He wastes the entire 1.5-hour class rambling about irrelevant facts instead of teaching you how to make speeches. His grading is unnecessarily rough, especially for a beginner-level course. You'll leave this class feeling like the only valuable thing you've learned is the importance of ratemyprofessor.

Do not take this man. his assignments are easy. You need the textbook, test are online speeches are easy. horrible/rude teacher tho he will grade you poorly if you do something he doesn't like or agree with. and a smart ass when respond to emails you can't be on your phone at all! lectures are long an boring because he's JUST talking.

I would never recommend this guy to my worst enemy, made this class extremely horrendous for me, I hated this class so much it seemed like a better option to drop out and work at a fast food restaurant

The class was fine up until the end. My main issue is the rubrics, they are short and don't contain a lot of specific instructions. Grading wise he's tough and sometimes it felt like he was pulling shit out of his ass for the sake of just lowering your grade. I would not take his class unless you want ur gpa to take a beating.

This is by far the worst professor I ever had in college! He makes fake accusations of students using Chat GPT, he will lecture for the entire class, and makes the class harder than what it's supposed to be however the assignments are pretty easy. He is also extremely rude and very unprofessional, I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

This professor is an extreme nitpicker. he will rip apart your essay and give you a 70 for formatting alone. DO NOT TAKE

This “professor” is just downright horrible at teaching. I've never received a failing final grade for any class except this one. He has no sense of compassion or understanding. He also said he remembers attendance of who was present, late, or absent, only by his memory. The attendance is a huge part of your grade as well.

Fairly easy class, do the work and meet his requirements. Lectures are boring. Attendance is mandatory; you cannot even be late. He is insensitive. I lost some loved ones and expressed it to him in my reflection paper, and he didn't even take the time to say sorry for your losses. He is a terrible listener and likes going back and forth.

He hardly posts on D2L and gives everything as paper handouts, which is frustrating because we're in 2025. Speak in his class to earn your participation grade and to make the class a little less boring. He does not know how to listen and properly answer questions. He also speaks in circles. The final portfolio is NOT for a grade, so don't worry.

If you ask him a question and feel as if he did not explain it well enough to your understanding, keep pressing him till his answer makes sense! You're the one paying tuition. It is your future and GPA on the line, not his! I would ask him questions about suspicions in my grade, and he asked me, "Why do you care about your grade so much?" What!?

The Media and Society course requires a mandatory $98 ebook that the lectures are entirely based on, yet the ebook grades don't get posted in D2L, making the purchase feel like a waste.
