Reviews of professor Lara Khatib

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Most unreasonable prof ever. She is extremely hard-headed and does not care about helping students learn and do better. She does not listen to students and takes marks off for the tiniest "mistakes" like grammar. All she does is tell you what you did "wrong" and when she's proven wrong, she finds a way to still make herself correct and deduct marks

Lara was a very nice instructor from the online interactions we had via Canvas and email. She responded promptly to emails, and marked fairly (98% average). All learning online modules were clear and concise, and assignment instructions were clear. Lara extended a few deadlines when students had missed components. Class has great content for all!

the class is an easy A with little effort, however nothing in her class is clear: the assignments are confusing, her grading- even worse. Takes marks of for minuscule mistakes and doesnt give feedback as to why until you ask her. I'd suggest taking the course but with another prof, or if you take it with her- just be extra detailed.

Lara is truly a fantastic educator. The material taught is very engaging, and then are met with MANY projects - I personally find this route of engagement very fun and the material is better learnt this way. If you don't enjoy projects and prefer exams/papers, then this class is definitely not for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend!

The course itself is easy, however Lara does not set up students for success. When you ask a question, she does not address your concerns and just tells you youre wrong. Will find ways to take marks off.

Easy A class. Online quizzes were easy to get full marks in all of the answers given to you throughout the modules.All her assignments are easy and straightforward only around 2-3 pages each

Avoid taking a class with her if possible. Her instructions contradict the rubric and she will find ways to take points off for every small detail she doesn't like. It's 100% evident that she doesn't care about students' success. Doesn't give constructive or useful feedback.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Passive aggressive in emails, has a super snarky tone. Does not communicate well in feedback for assignments at all. Says super generic things like “expand on this topic” but doesn't tell you the specifics on what the improve on. Doesn't justify her marking further even when emailed to ask about it. AVOID TAKING A CLASS WITH HER. She doesn't care.

Lara is an excellent, and very understanding professor. She definitely marks depending on the level of work you put in. So if you want to do well, work hard!
