ARTHI132I . Khoury N N 15 Years Ago

She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are hard to follow and really unorganized. If you ask any questions she assumes you haven't done the reading and won't answer your questions. She is an extremely picky grader.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 14 Days 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 14 Days 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.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 22 Days Ago

Professor is very sweet and clearly passionate about the subject but she's extremely disorganized and the lectures are very hard to follow because she goes on tangents and doesn't present information in an organized way. This is a horrible class to take as a GE, if you need to fulfill one of its GE requirements just take a different class.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 22 Days Ago

As much as prof Khoury is clearly a professional in her field, that does not benefit you as the student. Her lectures often go off into tangents and you never know whether you will need anything she says on the exams, WHICH ARE DETAILED with very niche questions (that sometimes will include a random reading). TAs are your saviours in this class

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 26 Days Ago

I took this class as a GE but would not do that again, it was too much work and very confusing. Professor Khoury lectures are confusing and poorly organize. The assigned readings aren't super helpful and are very dense. The only saving grace was section because my TA was able to clarify topics.
