great professor

easy class for me though, and she is really really nice

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

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.

By far the worst professor I've ever had at UCSB in my almost 4 years here. I'm an art hist major and I sat there questioning my life choices every lecture. Jumps from a 1-2 pg paper to a 7-8 page research paper (its lower div). Went on ridiculous tangents, impossible to follow lecture/material, and way too much useless info. Don't do it.

By far the worst professor I have ever had. Consistent disorganization in lecture, repetitive and useless information, and inability to connect with students is what you'll find in this class. Very easy content, but my God, Nuha is impossible to listen to for even an hour and 15 minutes 2 days a week. TA's really save her ass b/c she's incompetent

Pretty tough class for a GE, but definitely doable. Professor and TAs are helpful on papers, and it's clear what you need to memorize from image reviews and lecture.

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.

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.
