AWD is a college course, so don't act surprise when you actually have to think. Professor Conroy is one of the few teachers that truly wants you to succeed and gives you the proper tools to do so. She is always reachable for help with your work, but she won't do it all for you. She's also a closet metalhead :). I'd retake her class just for fun.AWD 2013-09-18 20:35:15 +0000 UTC
the class was different than any other eng1101 classes at the school and we were told not to get the book, but then got in trouble for not having it? do not like her as a person or a teacher. overall was a very confusing/boring classENG1101 2011-07-25 15:31:08 +0000 UTC
AWESOME teacher. Very funny, approachable and helpful. Very clear on what is expected. AWD is a hard course and she really tries to help the students, take advantage of her office hours. Don't take this course with anyone else!AWD3308 2010-05-01 19:59:37 +0000 UTC
AWD is notoriously one of the worst classes at Northeastern, but one that everyone has to take. Conroy definitely made this class worth it, though. She's really lenient about deadlines and grades; classes are fun and laid-back. She has a great relationship with her students and always willing to help. I wouldn't want to take AWD w/ any other prof.ENG301 2008-12-21 16:58:49 +0000 UTC
This class is hard for everyone and required as well. That said, Conroy made this course worth taking. She has an interesting sense of humor which is not easy for most people, but don't be scared. Conroy is perhaps one of the most understanding professors I have ever had and sincerely interested in helping her students become successful writers.AWD301 2008-09-01 20:55:00 +0000 UTC
While the requirements of the AWD class may be demanding (totally not her fault)she sure knows how to make it worth the effort. The class is a reqirement for all students, so if you want to actually learn something and feel like its time well spent, take the class w/ Prof Conroy. She totally rocks!ENGU308 2007-12-23 19:55:42 +0000 UTC
Tiffany Conroy is awesome! Best class I have ever taken at Northeastern University. She's clear and to the point, nothing complicated. Shes funny as hell and has a casual relationship with her students, which makes it fun for everyone. I definitely recommend Conroy for advanced writing!! She is by far the most understanding teacher Ive ever had!!!ENG308 2007-12-10 18:46:24 +0000 UTC
Ms. Conroy is a pretty cool person and made AWD easy. Be warned though... I gotta say that she isn't a great match for people who are kind of dumb. She doesn't hold your hand or go over self-explanatory things. The comment: "She gave me a D on an A paper" is--well first of all hilarious--and very telling of her teaching style.

This is possibly the worst class i have ever taken. not only is she rude and snide towards her students, but she refuses to help. her favorite saying is "just go with it" when you ask her for help, and when you get your paper back the highest grade in the class is a B-. she sucks so much, do not take her class.dont waster your time learning nothingAWDU308 2007-11-20 01:49:36 +0000 UTC
Dreaded this class at first but it turned out great. You have to do a fair amount of outside research for papers but the prof. allows time to draft and work on your topic. Very approachable and helpful, highly recommended.AWDSECT 2007-02-13 13:24:09 +0000 UTC
I'm not sure what everyone else's problem on here is, but Conroy was a great prof for AWD this semester. Her assignments were extremely clear and she gave great comments and plenty of time to write and re-write the papers. She often held office hours and gave constructive ideas on how improve our papers. I highly recommend her to anyone taking AWD.ENGU301 2006-12-21 14:19:12 +0000 UTC
Overall, not the worst teacher I've had. She lets you do your thing for the most part, but make sure she knows what your thing is before you hand in the paper, because otherwise you might get an awful surprise-- she made me rewrite the first of the papers despite a horribly busy schedule. All in all, poor at communicating guidelines.AWD111 2006-09-27 16:57:37 +0000 UTC
I don't know what all you people are b*tching about? She's a good teacher, just buckle down and do the work. Very clear, although deviates from the syllabus. Just keep up the pace and get your sh*t straight. It's college, enjoy yo'self b*tches. -Oh yea, she's cute too.MIDDLERYEAR 2005-04-03 14:38:41 +0000 UTC
not as bad as i thought it would beMIDDLER 2005-03-03 12:48:59 +0000 UTC
her voice is so annoying i just cant get beyond it. shes not mean like everyone seems to say and i dont think you can say "she gave me a c on an a paper cause obviously you think u deserve an a, but she just as a wierd personality and if u dont get it u wont like her.MIDYEAR 2005-02-16 20:13:12 +0000 UTC
