Dr. Khan is one of the best teachers i've had at UH. He is very passionate about Geology and wants you to be too. If you come to ALL classes and go on field trips, regardless on if you need them, he will remember your name the first day of class, and you will do GREAT! Don't need to buy book, doesn't use it and it doesn't help whatsoever.

Its funny, I thought i'd really bad in this class. My average was certainly not the A- I recieved for the class. Yet, i tried hard on all the tests and I told him I really need to make a good grade for the class to stay at the college. His jokes are a lil corny, but he does as the first commenter stated, cares about geology. Go to the field trips.

He is my best teacher

I was engg. major taking Dr. Khan's class made me decide to major in geology

Goes above and beyonf to help students with questions. Awesome grading scale

He is a great prof.

Easy class! Just bring a cup of coffee or a pillow because you WILL fall asleep!!! Not the professors fault because hes very passionate towards geology but its about ROCKS!! so if you are not into that (which is a majority of people) fair warning!!!

I enjoyed this course very much. Dr. Khan shows many photos and video clips and give real-world examples of the principles being taught. His enthusiasm and passion for geology and how he passed that along to his students with his teaching style is impressive.

The best part of the course is about environmental geology that talks about water quality and global warming. I like that he drops the lowest grade. Overall Dr. Khan did a god job in presenting and teaching the course. I learned some valuable information and knowledge.

The most important aspect of this course to me was the ability of the professor to teach the class with full energy and enthusiasm. Dr. Khan has excellent knowledge in his subject and he is very caring and always willing to help students.

I enjoyed the central texas field trip that is an extra credit, got to have a first hand experience w/ the rocks. Prof. Khan was extremely pleasent, very enthusiastic and caring, easy to tlak to and always ready to help. I would give him a 12 out of a scale of 10.

Easy for a science course. No book necessary, unless you want an A. I made a B by just reading the powerpoint slides, and going to a field trip (for extra credit). This professor is passionate about geology, he gets all excited about rocks while half the class are apathetic. It is still more interesting than Bio though.

Prof. Khan is awesome

Dr Khan is the most caring lecturer I've ever met. He goes out of his way to help AND he is so enthusiastic about Geology and GIS.

I liked Dr. Khan's sense of humor and the way of his teaching. He make sure the studnets understand the concepts. Great Teacher, Great Class. TAKE THIS TEACHER

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PROFESSOR!!!! He shows that he cares for each and every single one of his students by taking only a week to learn every single students name (and for a class of 100+ thats a lot!) He is approachable, and wants every student to succeed! Take him!!

Easy class Great guy funny short tough accent water wapor,vapur, WATER VAPOR !! lol this guy is funny great field trip worth it extra credit opps take notes on what he says in class not jsut the slide test straign off of his word in class.. i learned that till the end lol but still passed its an interesting course c'mon who doesn't like rocks!!

I didnt know what the class was till i took it. Easy, nice professor. How I got an A i dont even know! But you need to read the book, it helps to answer the questions at the end of the chapter, usually he uses that on the test. Field trip was so worth it, and he is very kind. If you get to know him well, and put effort in class, you will do well

The way that professor khan would communicate with the students, and explain the material no matter how many times a question was asked. He also showed he cared when he knew all of our names in a way I still don?t know how he did

I highly recommend taking physical geology and GIS classes with Dr. Khan. He's funny and approachable. He does ask questions in the class, most of these question he ask for explanation. He prepares you well for exams. Take him.

Prof. Khan is very helpful and knows what he teaches. I love the class because of professor’s enthusiasm

I loved Dr. Khan's classes and I strongly recommend him

A lot of people think that because Dr. Khan is so nice they will get their grades for nothing. You can easily get A grade, but you need to study, prepare labs, prepare the project, and prepare for the 2 exams.Loved the class and the explanations. He does not require more material than is given in his lectures or during the labs. Aziz was a cool TA.

U of H needs 100 more professors just like Dr. Khan. Great class!!

Prof Khan provided multiple opportunities of extra credit anyone who wanted to make a good grate had many chances. On top he gave great lectures

Dr. Khan took time to learn every student's name and made us feel like people rather than a number in asystem

Dr. Khan is very effective teacher! Dr. Khan needs to be more specific on the tests

Outstanding professor. He is very helpful and excited about teaching. He makes going to class interseting.

Great teacher. Very nice and informative. He does try to learn everyones names so you have to go to class bc he will know if you aren't there. Labs take time but are actually easy and interesting. 2 Tests and a group project. Very willing to help students succeed.

Great guy, fairly tough class. He'll remember your name after one comment, so try to be present and participate. Labs are time-consuming, but ArcGIS is pretty cool. Labs are 40% so take them seriously, and two tests are 20% each.

Awesome professor! Got a memory of an elephant, he doesn't forget ANYTHING!! LOL, enjoyed his class and jokes, hope to take Remote Sensing with him in the fall.

Pretty cool dude, really knows his stuff, if you want an A do some general reading to familiarize yourself more with the terminology and concepts, the book is not too bad.

Dr. Khan is a very effective teacher! However the labs associated with this class has outrageous number of assignments that take up too much tim. Labs teach the application of the program but too many

Not an easy class. you have to read the text and his slides in order to pass!

The labs are time consuming, so make sure to account for that. Lectures are good, he will tell you "Possible Test Question" or comment "I've used this on past tests". There are only Two tests. Study for them a lot (lecture slides) and understand concepts from lab if anything new is introduced. Start early on the group project as well.

Very organized and interesting lectures. One of my favorite professor at UH

The extra credit field trips can boost you an entire letter grade. They fill up really quickly so sign up ASAP. There is a group project, but he's not strict on the grading. There's attendance credit, so show up to class. He gave a generous curve, (from a D to a B) I recommend him.

Very passionate

Dr. Khan is great prof with generous grading

Dr. Khan is a very knowledgeable guy who's been teaching for many years. He really cares about his students, especially those who are willing to put in effort. This class should be an easy A or B if you spend a few hours studying for each test. He gives a large curve at the end, and if you go on the field trip you get even more extra credit.

He's a great professor! The lectures can be a bit heavy but as long as you take notes and study you won't have any issue passing the course. He also gives out extra credit on your overall grade. Don't attend this course if you are looking for an easy A without doing the work. I also highly recommend attending the field trips he leads.

The best part about this course is the assignments. Google earth was fun to use.

I enjoyed the group project very much. It gave me a better understanding of the material, created a better working environment with others, and added more participation with the students

Great professor and interesting class. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't show up he will notice.

Very friendly professor; labs are easy and exams are generously curved.

I honestly enjoyed the professor the most. He was very positive and good at communicating. Course wise, I'd say visually seeing different geological features. I learned how beautiful certain rocks could be and it made me want to see more of the country (if not world)

He's just generally a guy that's entertaining and seems like he wants the best for you.

Honestly shocked by my grade. Lab assigments every week. Each lab taking more than class time. Tests were mostly mcq and 3 to 2 short answers. It's a valuable skill but expect the worst to prepare yourself. I wouldn't say it was easy.

Prof Khan is very knowledgeable & engaging. He will learn your name and call on you in class when you least expect it so pay attention! And there's no hiding in the back of the classroom, he will find you. There is always a group project & the exams can be difficult. His lectures are engaging and he emphasizes concept learning not answer learning.

He is a very caring, motivating professor wanting the best for his students. He is also very attentive - he would instantly see who comes to class and who does not. There are many homeworks yet you realize that you learn a lot at the end of semester. Definitely teaches you a skill that can help you land a job.

I really enjoyed the labs. Although the labs were difficult, they were very fun and taught me so much about remote sensing

Dr. Khan is a passionate professor that is very knowledgeable on the subject. Always enjoy having Dr. Khan as an instructor.

I have taken Dr. Khan for both 3383 & 4331 and received a B+ in each course. There's usually 2 tests, 10 lab assignments (time consuming and you need a PC or you must use the computer lab), and the main focus -- the semester long group project. Dr. Khan curves well and as long as you participate you'll be fine. Lack of attendance will be noticed.

Dr. Khan is an excellent professor who makes challenging topics for non-majors easy and entertaining.

If you're looking for an easy science credit, TAKE THIS CLASS. Only thing I will say is that there are only 4 assignments which means most of your grade depends on your exam scores. However he drops one of the exam scores and there is PLENTY of extra credit. In total, there are 4 assignments, 4 exams, and 1 group project

I always felt motivated after attending his classes. Knowledgeable and caring professor.

As a non-science major, I found Physical Geology to be a challenging class. However, Professor Khan made it entertaining and engaging, providing ample opportunities for extra credit to improve our grades.

Very passionate about the course material and includes research and examples currently being worked on.
