ARTHI132I . Khoury N N 9 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 10 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.

ARTHI132I . Khoury N N 16 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 3 Months Ago

Her lectures were hard to hear and understand, the material itself wasn't hard she just sucked at teaching it. She also took most of the quarter to announce the midterm date and switched the schedule a lot and was not very accommodating to schedule conflicts/needing to miss class or a test. I still passed so…

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 5 Months Ago

Prof. Khoury is very knowledgeable in her field but struggles with making it interesting for the students and lectures are hard to sit through. Attendance is required but sorta inefficient with a sign in sheet that got passed around. Grade made up from two papers (graded hardly) and midterm/final that weren't too bad but lots of information.

ARTHI6K . Khoury N N 10 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.
