CollegeHer 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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
