ARTHI186Q . Khoury N N 5 Years Ago

Khoury is nice person with a cute sense of humor but she's an absolute WRECK of a professor. She is extremely unorganized and scattered while simultaneously expecting the world from her students. Asking her for clarification will only get you a response with your question framed back at you. Its more hassle than its worth, everything is UNCLEAR.

ARTHI132I . Khoury N N 2 Months Ago

I had struggles with her a lot this quarter, and the night PRIOR to the midterm, she sends out a revised email telling us we had to study the lectures from the day prior. She wasn't consistent, never was right with the slides, not good at electronics, readings are broad, and expects you to write bibliographic information (yes, WRITE).

ARTHI132I . Khoury N N 2 Months Ago

I mean its boring. She is very knowledgable but it is all just a snoozefest. Not technlogcially literate, does in person, inneffective attendence. Not clear at all what is on the quizes, how theyre formated, when they are. Can barley work Canvas and this just makes it hard to operate.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 3 Months Ago

Professor Khoury was very unorganized, often went on tangents, and slides weren't very clear. There are two papers, midterm, and final. Attendance is mandatory but the slides aren;t helpful I only passed the class because of the webcam slides she posted after each week.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 4 Months Ago

Super sweet and really knows what she's talking about. All the information is given in lectures and sections and if you go to them it's pretty easy.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 4 Months Ago

Prof. Khoury is a nice person but might be one of the worst lecturers I've ever had. Aside from her lack of technological capabilities, the lectures themselves are disorganized and uninteresting. There is no textbook that students have to get, she provides PDFs of any readings needed. Unfortunately, the readings are usually unhelpful.
