She is very chill and she makes you go outside a lot on fieldtrips and outside of class time for the projects but overall, the projects aren't bad, homework wasn't bad, classes can be boring, you won't know your grade until the end.ENG1111 2026-02-05 22:15:03 +0000 UTC
She's honestly a very sweet and caring person. She gives a lot of great feedback, and her class actually taught me a lot. She takes forever to grade, but I feel like if you converse with her a lot, she will give you a better grade on the essays. It's kind of content-heavy, though, and there are a lot of field trips.ENGW1111 2025-12-11 02:40:24 +0000 UTC
Mrs. Sirois without a doubt cares for her students and makes sure the assignments are beneficial to us as students and interesting. She allows room for your own creativity and personality in the writing assignments which makes it unlike regular writing classes. I really enjoyed this class and her as a professor!ENGW1110 2015-04-20 21:11:52 +0000 UTC
Professor Siriois significantly helped me improve my writing. She is very nice, helpful, and understanding towards students. The class content is interesting and ranges greatly, which keeps you engaged. She is willing to meet with you if you need help with anything and will always find a time that works for you.ENGW1101 2015-03-09 14:57:04 +0000 UTC
Ms Sirois was one of the best English professors I have ever had, dating back through high school. She will go out of her way to find extra time to meet with you and makes sure you understand the material. The essays covered everything from analytical writing to personal narratives and it was a great experience to do these and My writing improved.FYWRITING 2015-02-27 19:05:19 +0000 UTC
It is nice to take her class! She loves to help students. She will answer all questions that you have.ENGW1102 2014-04-08 09:33:46 +0000 UTC
Although she ramble senselessly and the only improvement you find in your writing is from just having to write over and over again, this course is incredibly easy. As long as you show up, show you put in effort, participate in class, and organize your portfolio you will get an A.ENGL1111 2014-01-08 16:12:25 +0000 UTC
SHE IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR AS LONG AS YOU GO TO CLASS KEEP UP WITH WORK AND SHOW THAT YOU ARE PUTTING THE EFFORT IN....CLASS TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT WRITING AND PREPARED ME FOR MY SOPHOMORE YEAR!ENGL1110 2012-02-01 16:37:59 +0000 UTC
Had her in 1993, bad teacher if you get her drop the class. You pay enough at NU and it is not worth the money.ENG4013 2009-01-22 01:06:49 +0000 UTC
It's 2 and a half months into the semester and we have no grades back yetENG1111 2016-11-21 18:11:43 +0000 UTC
You will grow as a writer in this course and the projects are very interesting. Be prepared to separate from the traditional five paragraph essay you were used to in high school. Carolyn is helpful and always available to give feedback and help students after class. If you have to take writing at Northeastern, take Carolyn you will not regret it!ENGW1111 2017-02-08 12:44:30 +0000 UTC
Great Professor; Assignments are straightforward and as long as you put the time into your assignments, you can definitely see yourself in the 'A' scale.ENGW1110 2015-03-05 15:54:06 +0000 UTC
Great classENGW1102 2014-04-08 09:32:35 +0000 UTC
Very easy but PAINFULLY boring and EXTREMELY useless class. She is a nice person, but she rambles and is oblivious to the fact that nobody is paying attention. There is a lot of pointless work. The content is boring and the curriculum is weak. Unprofound and basic concepts are overanalyzed. The textbook is barely used so don't buy it.ENGL1111 2011-04-30 17:25:47 +0000 UTC
She can be really lenient, you can submit stuff several days later and most of the time she wont care. Much course work but if you do a decent job and put effort into the organization of the folio you should get a good grade. Dont buy the book, it's isnt useful you can find stories on the internetENG1111 2011-11-17 14:33:52 +0000 UTC
