Professor is very hard to follow. She grades very harshly and is disorganized in grading/assignments. She doesn't even input anything into the grade book so you have no idea what grade you have. Her quizzes are sparse and oddly specific. The lectures don't prepare you for the quizzes. Huge project and final for last class.
easy class for me though, and she is really really nice
do not take her classes unless you're willing to change the grading option to pass/fail bc of how bad of a teacher she is
Professor Khoury's lectures are so hard to follow and disorganized. Very few assignments make it hard to actually get points in the class. Readings are not helpful. I suggest not taking a class of Khoury's.
She was super sweet when I had her online. She made sure the class was accommodated for during covid by letting us retake quizzes. Midterm/Final were really difficult and shes specific about certain details. As a Middle Eastern studies major and I knew the information before she was taught it but missed points bcI didn't mention specific details.
She's a wonderful person however, as a professor she's infuriating. Her lectures are just impossible to follow, she misspells artists names constantly, randomly takes attendance, makes up random assignments on the spot there's absolutely no prep or even discussion of tests, most of the works I studied I googled, Interesting content but not worth it
She is very nice and super passionate. However, she puts next to nothing on her slides so if you don't go to lecture & pay attention you probably won't pass. She takes random attendance & will call you out for clicking your pen or being on your phone. Also doesn't allow laptops. Readings are all posted online, but you'll be tested on the content.
Do NOT take this class even if you need it for an Ethnicity or Cultures requirement. Her lectures are disorganized and unclear. She expects students to make her class the highest importance and will mark you down for the tiniest things on exams. I'm an art history major and typicaly do extremely well but am expecting a mediocre grade for this class
Just read from her reader and memorize all the artists the day before the tests.
She's not that bad of a prof, this class was pretty easy. short midterm/quiz, easy final, 2 group projects. she grades fairly easy. the class and her lectures are kinda boring, and the projects aren't fun but all groups get As.
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…
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.
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).
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.
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.
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
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.
Prof Khoury is super sweet. She doesn't post her slides, so lectures are mandatory for detailed notes. If you aren't an Art History major or interested in the discipline, this class is pretty hard. Only two writing assignments, midterm and final. If you don't want to think critically or use your brain, do not take this class.
If you're taking an Art class just to satisfy your GE requirements, I suggest you avoid this class for every reason you could think of. Let me just say, the TA was the unsung hero for this class.
great professor
She tends to teach very passionately which is amazing yet the questions are formulated off of her own knowledge and seem almost like trick questions 90% of the time, if you're one to psyche yourself out on questions in class, any of her classes are not for you. Barely any assignments so one or two bad grades can really run you your quarter
