THE BEST teacher of all times!! Makes math fun & easy! Loved him!!!!
He must be the nicest teacher I have ever seen in my whole life, and I mean it!!!
dont miss this professor
I took him for Algebra 2 and he was AWESOME! He gives take home exams which has a trust policy. He teaches so well that there is no reason for you to doubt your work! He's a wonderful man and a great teacher! I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE!
best teacher by far at NVCC, I love him!
Dr. Conroy is the BEST!!! A great teacher and an awesome person, you won't forget this professor!
he is a great teacher, show that you care and he'll love you, one of the few teachers a NVCC that would do anything to help you and make sure you have it right
HE IS THE GREATEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
I took him for Algebra 1 and 2. He is a good teacher. Really helps you, teaches you the easiest way you can learn the problem. Gives home takes test, and the final comes exactly from the previous exams.
one of the best professors and teacher's i've ever had. i really disliked math but Dr. Conroy helped me to understand it and made sure i understand it by making me practice and practice. Thanks Dr. Conroy your the best
this guy asks for too much
Great teacher!
He cares alot about his students and is always willing to give you extra help.
GREAT I learned so much math. He does expect alot from you but it's only because he cares. He loves his job and it shows. Explains clearly and makes sure you understand it. Makes you do your homework. He's the kind of guy who is meant to be a teacher. A+
Good choice!
He is one of the best teachers i've ever had.
Dr. Conroy is the BEST teacher in all NVCC. He makes you understand every aspect of math, I used to hate it until he became my Professor. He is very funny, and makes you enjoy the class along with learning. Be prepared to do your hmk. he checks it.
Dr. C is the first teacher that made math enjoyable. BIG HELP to those who hate math!!! Dr C, can u come teach precalc???? :)
He is the best professor I have ever had.He makes math very interesting. I had his Algebra II class and now I'm in Calculus II,I wish that he would teach higher math classes, too. Once, you finish his class you always want to go back. Boy...Isn't He Funny!!!
I was sooo entertained by the way he teaches he always had my attention. He has been teaching for many years and truley cares about all his students. If you want to understand math, take Dr. Conroy!!!
He need to remember that math and God don't go together(he contribute to hate them both).He makes from his class circus when I ask him questions He shouted at me without explanation basicaly if you want to do math try somebody more open :)
I couldn't understand math before. I truly hated math. Dr. Conroy makes math fun and interesting. You will leave his class with a better understanding of Math and will truly enjoy doing the work.
If you like parallel teaching (arithmetic and algebra) this teacher is for you, but it gets very confusing if you just want to learn Algebra. He also doesn't give students 100% attention when you go to his office, he likes to talk w/everyone who walks by...it's annoying!
Dr. Conroy helped me get over my "math anxiety" Before his class I could not even think about algebra--after--I am getting A's in math!
I am now at GMU and I compare him to every teacher I have now and the ones in the past and no one has even come close. The sweetest and most understanding teacher ever.
he is really helpful but you have to do things his way!
He is an awesome teacher. He is more than helpful. He is one of he more helpful teachers that I have ever had. This is a teacher that is definitely worth your time.
Dr. Conroy is a intelligent professor who will take out personal time to help you with anything. His different teaching style and a tendency to break everything down into smaller units was very helpful to me, someone who has always had trouble with math.
Dr.Conroy is decent,i think from time to time he gets out of hand.Instead of helping the students he tries to sometimes threaten them in a different way.Ex. ( Geee, if you dont do your homework your going know where but down hill). He doesn't have the RIGHT attitude to talk with the RIGHT students
No Comments
Dr.Conroy is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I have always been horrible with math and I have failed most math classes in my past. This was the first time I have ever gotten an A in any math class. I understand math now. Dr.Conroy is wonderful. Take his class!
do not...
Nice guy. Really helpful.
took the class b/c every1 said such good things aobut him. hes nice but isnt that great. he gives us way to much hw. and isnt very understanding. its his way or the highway. doesnt know how to talk to his students GRADES WAY TO HARD!! almosteveryone failed his first exam
worst teacher ever really. dont take him hard class to..tons of hw.. he is not understanding he doesnt care about his students myabe one or 2 of them
I currently now attend GMU, but when I was in NVCC I had Dr. Conroy. Dr. Conroy is by far and away the greatest professor that I have ever had. He's always there for his students, and is a very caring guy. He wants to see you succeed, and makes you feel wanted. Tests and homework aren't hard.
He parallel teaches arithmetic vs. algebra....very confusing. He thinks he's better then he is and also talks to you about your grades in front of other students. I didn't do well but also didn't get the help I needed from him either.
Most all of the people who give Dr. Conroy a bad rating are full of s**t. Most of them most likely didn't try and ended up doing bad in his class. He NEVER talks about your grades in front of others, he is very clear and always available. If you slack in his class, you deserve a bad grade
Not a difficult teacher for disciplined and math-oriented students, but he's not as friendly and nice as everyone says. He goes quickly through material and is also very strict about coming late/attendance/homework. He's not going to change your life perspecitve on math but a decent teacher
dr. conroy has been the best math teacher ever. he takes time out of his own schedule to plan his lecture in a way we can understand. if you dont get it, see him, he will go out of his way to help you. pay attention in class do homework exam reviews, you will pass with no problem. test are fair!!!
I took his class b/c everyone said he was cool. he isnt. i didnt slack in his class and did well. but still he is not a good teacher. He does think hes to good for himself
He is the Greatest teacher i have ever had in my entire life. LOve you so so so mcuh DR Conroy.
hi is the best , dont believe those people who didnt study and try or even ask him for help. he always stays in his office early morning at7.00 just to help students, he explained me any math problems, he is nice and helpful.all the test from the homework.dont lesson to them take him. he is the best
Dr. Conry is the best teacher I ever had. He is off the hook. I mean he wants all of his students to succeed. He is very understanding and a very fair grader. Come to his class, do homework, ask for help, and you will ace his class and tests with flying colors. He is also verrry FUNNY. Go Dr Conroy
Not a hard class, he teaches well, however he's not an easy teacher. He gives a formula u must follow and also gives a good amount of homework and take homes which are not done very quickly. He is a good teacher but not easy, especially for people not inclined towards mathematics
Dr. Conroy is an incredible teacher. I'm sad for those who aren't satisfied with him. He's dynamic, he's funny, and he's in his office all hours to help his students. Old students stop by his class ALL THE TIME to say hi. Don't miss this opportunity to actually LEARN math. He's one of a kind. Very fair tests-do your homework-you'll be fine.
Dr.Conroy really cares about his students, ask questions, participate, do your homework and try on the exams and it will make a huge difference. For the math I need in Nursing this was the perfect teacher to have. I struggle with math however this made a difference in the items I really need to study. Would recommend to Nursing students.
Dr. Conroy wants his students to succeed, not only in math, but in all aspects of their life. He is not an easy teacher because you need to know what he is teaching to advance in other math classes. Do the "Classroom Enhancement" (homework) to get the material, (he will go through as many problems asked for). Geenkies, he's a great professor.
After taking two other math teachers, I realize how good conroy really is. He teaches very, very well and definitely helps out slower learners. His tests are very easy compared to other teachers, sooooo much easier. He's very understanding about abscenses, I would take him for 004 easy pass
hE HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST HELPFUL TEACHER I HAVE EVER KNOWN, I MEAN YOU DONT GET GOLDEN APPLE AWARDS FOR BEING LAZY, RIGHT? AT FIRST I WASN'T FEELING HIS STYLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD ALWAYS DESPISED MATH. I FINALLY STOPPPED FIGHTING IT AND LET IT FLOW, MAN WHAT A GENIUS! HE REALLY CARES AND IT SHOWS. JEENKIES HE LOVES MATH. NOT BORING AT ALL!
this guy is so easy his exams are take home, his lectures are excellent. If you guys want a teacher that prepares you for upper math course and is easy and fun take his class. make sure you attend his classes and do the homework because it is graded. HAVE FUN!!!!!!
Dr. Conroy is the 3 math teacher to enter my life that has actually helped me to understand this difficult subject! He makes classes fun by making fun of clubs & constantly "smoking" his chalk. He's an excelent prof. stopping class 4 1 student if they don't understand somethin. All test r take home & homework is graded on cleanliness & completion.
Warning! Just because he's funny doesnt mean he is easy! He constantly wants to see his students after class (private chats...uuuggh). So, if your a student who likes to keep to himself, do the tests and leave, then you DONT WANT THIS GUY! He likes to get to know all his students like they were his children.
Dr. Conroy is the greatest math proffesor at NOVA. his exams are TAKE HOME. he is ALWAYS available to help out any student with whatever. his class is fun. 003 is easier than 004, he tends to get a little strickter on 004, but its all for your own good. you would have to work hard to fail his class, he is awesome!! take notes, and keep them, they will definetly help in calculus.
Dr. Conroy is an amazing teacher. His class is the only one that I dont' fall asleep in. He makes sure that everyone understands what the class is going over and he shows us how to apply to day to day things. he's very clear and as long as you take notes and follow directions you will not fail this class. It's awesome :)

The best math teacher I've ever had. Provides a great foundation to build upon--I sailed through higher level math courses afterwards. Uses a cookbook method and puts people at ease. Follow his rules & you'll succeed.
Hands down, best teacher - EVER! I had him for Algebra I, and he was so fantastic, I took him for Algebra II. He is a teacher that actually "teaches" his students. He is warm - hearted and really cares for all of his students. I look up to him, even though he is actually a short man.
good prof, makes class ok, can be annoying tho w/ wanting every1 to come to the office for meetings and such and shows favortism to certain students. however, will take as much time as needed to go over probs and exmas are take home, final is ridiculously easy and u can do 1/2 credit for all tests except final
He is a really good teacher! He is very funny! He makes class enjoyable and makes it so you have fun in his class!His tests are all take home tests and if you do not do well on a test he gives you half-credit on tests! He also has 10 homework checks, and his final is easy!I definetly suggest taking Conroy!I am taking him for Algebra 2 in the spring
Excellent. He is an AMAZING professor very kind, funny, well spoken and sensative. He explains everything THOROUGHLY and makes sure no one is left behind. Creates a very comfortable atmosphere that is at ease. ALWAYS available for his students and is will to go to ANY extent to help you understand. Take good notes they'll come in hand later on
Very funny!! He is a very sweet man who cares a lot for his students.
2 worda TAKE HIM, easy A, all of his tests are take home, he gives a review sheet b4 the test(exactly like wht would be on the test) do the review sheet A on the test. final exam is stright from the tests, makes the class fun, very neat, extra NICE, answer any kind of questions, go to his office if u need help ANYTIME, he would never say NO TAKE HI
Dr. Conroy is a very insulting person. he thinks hes better than every body else. embarses you in front of the whole class, even when you have a simple question. He also needs to get a hearing aid, cause he only hears what he wants to hear. And judges everyone on top of that. it doesn't matter who you are... he will judge you.
Funny guy, but gets rather annoying after a while with his loud voice and cocky personality( often tries to teach his own methods, refuses to teach by the book). TONS of hwk everyday and check it whenever he wanted to, this was so F$*@*@ irritating. Exams were difficult, marking policies were HARSH, even though he gave half-credit for corrections.
I cant believe that there are infelicitous remarks about Dr.D. He is an energetic, beneficent, &considerate person.He teaches w/perfection &has detailed notes that will never be forgotten. A man w/his knowledge should stand w/confidence. His take home exams are easy only if u attend class © his organized notes.Dr.C u have truly touched my heart
He is a GREAT teacher if you need help he will do anything to help you. If you want a good math teacher take him he is GREAT!!!!!!!
He is probably one of the nicest teachers I have ever met. He gives two take home exams, and the Final is in class. He explains things very thoroughly. He makes math fun. I had him from 6PM to 10:30PM and I thought before I met him that I would probably fall asleep in class but he is so funny and keeps your attention. I would take him again.
How could anyone say anything bad about Dr. Conroy. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I will never forget him. He gives great examples. He provides you with notes that you will keep and use in the future. He is funny and sweet. He will keep you until the last minute of class but you enjoy being there. Dr. Conroy is a sweetheart
First teacher who treated Algebra as a serious course verses a concept that you should h. gotten in eighth grade. Funny, charismatic, and charming-BUT do know what you're getting into. He knows he's too good to be taken for granted, so you'd better be on time, do your homework, and remain alert throughout his entire class. Best math notes ever, an
Great teacher! Dr. Conroy doesn't just teach "how" he also teaches "why". I have since taken MTH 163 and am now taking 164 and he taught me everything I needed to know for these classes. If you listen to what he says and do things his way, you will have a great foundation for the higher level math classes.
I had him for both Algebra 1 and 2 and let me tell you, he is an amazing teacher! I am very lucky. He is the nicest man you will ever meet let alone the nicest Math teacher. I can remember he added 8 or 9 of us to his full alg. 2 class even though there weren't enough chairs. He wanted everyone to stay and get the help they needed. Awesome guy
Very good teacher, best ever! If you are about to take this guy, you will have a ride for you life! He is funny, he is nice and he can teach. You almost never find that ever in a teacher. If you are bad at mathmatics, you can pass his class with effort.
He is absolutely fab. Anybody who says that he isn't helpful are people who didn't try in his class. If I have trouble, I go see him and he gives help. Yeah he talks about your grades in public sometimes, but he never insults. Basically I would reccommend him and that's that.
Don't get me wrong, he is a VERY nice and VERY helpful guy but SOOOOO anal!! Takes off for the dumbest things on your test which WILL lower your grade substantially!!
Dr. Conroy is the best math teacher i've ever had. Yes, his class can be boring at times when people don't get what he's talking about and he keeps going on and on...but he really tries HIS BEST to teach you. He will help you in any way! All take home quizzes..how hard can that be? He's a teacher you remember the rest of you life!
Best math teacher I've ever had. Take good notes and do homework. He gives take home exams and really cares about his student. Great teacher if you really want to learn math.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TOTALLLY LOVED HIM EVERYONE DID IN MY CLASS HE IS SOOOOOOO FUNNY KEEPS THE CLASS ALIVE AND TEACHES VERYYY WELLL...WHAT U COULDNT LEARN BEFORE WILL BE A PIECE OF CAKE FOR U WHEN U TEACHES IT TAKE HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I WILL BE TAKIN HIM IN THE FUTURE
This was my first time taking him but he was THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! He will teach you math in the most easiest way you can think of. He will spend all of his time teaching you even if you don't understand it. I highly recommend him to everyone. All of the exams are take home, but you have to do the homework every time. His a very funny, ad
Excellent professor! 38 years of experience teaching math at NOVA. Knows what he's doing. Very intelligent man. Extremely helpful during office hours. All of his students know this, so there is usually a line at his door. So, look at the schedule on his door and get there EARLY. Downside. A little too preachy regarding morality.
if you dont like math after taking his class you wont beileve what you can do..he is the best
i took alg2 with him and wow...this man is great...homework comes out of book..gives great notes..test are easy...they are take home and final is in class...very funny...cute..very helpful..a very jolly man...take him u will pass with flying colors...just follow his rules..if ur phone rings in class u will have to bring cookies for whole class...lo

HE FAILED ME HIS HARD HOMEWORK IS GRADED RANDOMLY I DIDNT LIKE HIM
He has his day today he had a bad day wanted to lock the door so no one goes in.
He has sooo much energy, for an older man. He is a great teacher, and makes math fun. The entire time that I was in his class, he had me laughing. Although, he can be very sarcastic, which some students were offended by. He is also very OCD about the work you turn in. Everything must always be "neat and orderly."
He is probly the best teacher ive ever had..i wish he could teach every class i take. He makes sure everyone understands the material and if you dont he has extensive office hours for extra help. He also is a very funny man you will never have a dull moment if any one of his classes!!
I LOVE Dr. Conroy!!! HE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT ANNANDALE!
i though he was going to be great like evryone said he was. But he wasnt great if you just want to take this class just to get an passing grade dont
He is very patient,clear,and cool. He has a lot of experience and is more than glad to help student who need it(extensive office hours to be help with homework,if u need it).He doesn't only teaches you the "rules" but the reason why these are used.
The little man is the best man in nvcc. He is helpfull, understanding.And i promise you this that you will be inspired to love math all over again. he makes it so easy and understandable. Take him i gurantee u wont regret. i would take his class again and again if i had to repeat thousand times he is that good.
Dr. Conroy is wonderful. I am terrible at math and went in worried. I ended up with a C and I was very proud. You can make test corrections and h.w. helps a lot but, you have to do it EVERY night!
Dr. Conroy is THE best professor I have ever had. He is very clear and concise and his door is always open. For school matters or not. He is great in class. But don't expect and easy A. He does expect his students to work. Which is nice, he holds you accountable to the work you do. He's a great man.
The best teacher ever..If u really have a real goal in your future. I didnt understand alegebra I and II in High school untill I took his class and now I am really good. All u need to do is do ur homework in ur best ability and he helps u if u have problem with the homework.
It doesn't get much better than this. Dr Conroy makes math fun and easy. He has done the undoable with me! I actually get math now. I cannot express how much this man has made an impact on my life and future study. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my teacher.
ANYONE WHO SAYS DR.CONROY IS A HARSH GRADER HAS TO BE THE DUMBEST IDIOT THAT WALKED THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! he is the BEESSSSSSTTTTTT professor ever!!! if you're weak in math take hiM!! he wont stop until you fully understand the material and he is always there to help you either in class or in his office. i took him twice he's great!!!
Great teacher, he's happy go lucky, miggitt that wheres a bowtie every class and says werid comments to the class but hes very enjoyable. You will have fun!!!! I love them cookies
Oh my God!!! is all I can say about Dr. Conroy, he is the best math teacher. If you want to learn math take him. He makes sure everyone understands the material, he is so helpful. He is simply the best. Do your HW becos he grades them and just show up for class and you will do very well.
To be completely honest, i dreaded taking this class. I always had trouble with math. Dr. Conroy not only made learning math easy, he made it fun. Why'd I rate him hot? Hahaha. He's short. And wears a bowtie. It's so cute! I really recommend him to anyone and i look forward to taking him again and again! I've learned SO MUCH and so will you!
Best teacher I've ever had at any level. Just pay attention and do the little quirky things he wants you to do with the homework and you'll earn an easy A. Yes, you'll actually learn and earn your grade. EASY.
Great professor, you will never forget him. He gave the best technique that you never forget. Math is the worst subject for who are not very good at it, but if you take Dr Conroy's class. He'll will walk you through step by steps. And it will help you in higher math with his technique. Dr. Conroy is the BEST BEST BEST
What an amazing man. I've never liked math before I took his class. He doesn't stop teaching until you understand, and if you don't you just come by the "or-fice." Not only is he a great teacher, he's a great person.
If you struggle with math, then this is the professor you need. He truly cares about your future and wants you to understand the material. I am terrible at math and Dr Conroy was patient, clear, and was able to convey the material in a way that is easier to understand.
OMG!He's the BEST Teacher in the world.he teach Math from his heart.he gives u the easiest way out if ur doing formulas.He's short and wears a botie and is so cute VERY FUNNY.lol I Love him.if u want help he'll help u100%@his office.he'll focus on u and nothing else and will help you till you could do it in ur sleep.TAKE THIS CLASS u'll LOVE IT!!!!
Dr. Conroy is simply the best math teacher I have hade in my entire life. He will go out of his way to help his students. He is just an amazing professor!
Simple A lot of Homework, checks 10 times RANDOMLY so you have to do it everyday, test are take home but hard he cool guy but to me math sucks, and he def. didnt make it fun class was fun but homework wasnt, to HIM you can ONLY use HIS methods!!! or he wont accept your work
He is such a good man and a good teacher.I've learned math this semester by learning his methods in class,AND reviewing the methods found in the textbook.The key for this class is to practice,and to do homework. You will always have to adapt to every math teacher's method. In my exams I've solved the exercises with 2 diff methods and he Ok'ed them.
if you are not a math person....Very help full..makes class fun and easy.
Dr Conroy is among the very best Math teachers NVCC has to offer. He goes the extra mile to make his teaching as clear and understandable as possible. Teachers like Dr Conroy are in extinction already.
Hands down the best teacher I ever had. Makes things crystal clear and truly is there for his students. All exams are take home and class is fun
Listen to me this WILL BE without a doubt the best math teacher you will ever have, he is so helpful he actually cares his methods work and he proves why something is the way it is, doesn?t just tell you. TAKE HIM and ask about SANDWICHES and no I? am not kidding.
easy. too easy. makes the class too easy that u can just sit back and relax and really not do any work. in a way its cool but in a way its bad because you don't get prepared for higher level math classes.
Great Teacher!!!!!! So nice and very helpful. Cares about all his students. Class is never boring!
He's the bomb! Super cool and sweet. Very helpful and insightful! AWESOME
OH JINKIES!!! Dr. Conroy is amazing! The little man has an incredible ability to teach math! Definitely DO NOT miss out on his class!
I absolutly LOVE Dr. Conroy! He is wonderful. He is the most caring professor you will ever find, and I mean it. He explains the work in a way that even if you were a donkey you could understand. If anyone fails this class its only because they CHEATED. He will help you through abything! If I could describe him in one word it would be:Undescribable
hands down the best math teacher ive ever had.
he is a great math teacher!! he is really funny and he will have you laughing the whole entire class. he has great ideas on how to help you study for the final and the tests he also has a lot of open office hours where you can go and ask questions. i would recommend him to anyone :)
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN DR.CONROY IS A VERY CARING PROFESSOR. HE IS WILLING IF YOUR WILLING. HE IS VERY ENERGETIC AND WILL KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED, BUT ALSO MAKING YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE MATERIAL HE'S GOING THROUGH. JUST GO TO CLASS AND DO THE HOMEOWORK AND YOU WILL DEFINETELY SUCCEED IN HIS CLASS!!!
JINKIES! HE'S AWESOME!
Cool guy. All test take home. Easy HW. but he makes you use his method otherwise its wrong and it can get you on a test. otherwise easy class
Don't get me wrong, he's a nice and easy professor, but he wants you to solve the problem the way he teaches or he' ll mark it wrong, that's totally unfair. It's only his way or highway, and only cares about his method. Also his attitude is like a clown. Only recommend him if you have taken 003 with him , otherwise he will get you in his method
Dr. Conroy is the BEST math teacher you will EVER have. He is a little strict, but only when necessary. Mostly, he's a riot saying "It's time to sing!" or "Jinkies!". He wears a bow-tie, 'smokes' his dry erase markers, and makes fun of his own height. If you dread math, then take him! His methods are short, sweet and to the point. COOKIES!
he totally should make the top 50 hottest professors! I truly believe he wakes up every morning wearing his bow tie, his hair neatly done and of course, with a smile on his face!
what can I say, Overall the teacher is decent. BUT, its a hard class. Dr. Conroy, is one of the hardest teacher you can take. I do not reccommend him at all! He wants you to use his method on all work... or its the highway.... I passed all the tests but failed
GOOD MAN, i just cant understand how you fail a class with you are given take home test and the home works are grade if you do them, but not how many errors you make
Simply the best in his teaching style. I took him for Algebra 1 & 2 with no regrets, just that he doesn't teach Precalculus! His teaching style is top-notch, which is not typically found in community colleges. I only wish we had more teachers such as Dr. Conroy as they seem to be rare in this day in age...
Jinkies, where do I start? He is the greatest teacher out there. I wish he would teach other math courses aside from algebra :(
This Professor defines math.
Dr.Conroy, where do i begin he is a great professor and hilarious as anything. He is a great guy and teacher. :)
overall, a great professor. but you better do what he says. You must do it his way, and show all work... step by step. i guess i ll find out if his methods really do work when i get to precalculus. PS: attendance is mandatory
Conroy is the best teacher I've ever had, hands down! He makes algebra fun....and I hate algebra. He will make you smile every class. In my opinion, he is the only option if you need to succeed in algebra. Take this course with him!!! (oh, and you better like nicknames, because he'll give you one :D)
Dr. conroy is the best teacher ever. all his exams are take home exams except the finial and he checks homework every now and then so you get points. he is very helpful. i love his class. he makes the class very fun and easy.
i hate him he sucks he thinks his god but his not. he grades hw randomly so we dont even know when is due and and so..
I hate math end of story, this didnt help, random homework checks that are randomly graded, As for the test, passed them yet still failled the class.....you have to use his strange methods or you get 0 credit....you've been warned...still think the Doc is a great guy, not a great teacher
HIS an uptight teacher. he hw are graded randomly so u must do them all the time. his exams are easy but if you dont do them his way they are worng. he thinks his god and people think his god but his not. I am nto going to be able to pass Algebra 2 this term cause hw and low exaam grades
Dr.Conroy is a great teacher.He explains everything so well.I am not a mth person but he made it so easy and clear.You have to follow his steps or he will take points off.I recommend to attend his classes so you wont be behind.as long as u do your homework you will be find.hes really sweet & makes class fun.i actually looked fwd 2 going 2 his class
2 those who left comments on 11/24,11/17,&11/12/2009 as a college students u r expected 2 do HW @ all times. im taking the final next week and im Extremely confident iam going 2 do well, he made math so simple & easy to understand. even if SOMEHOW i fail the Final, I ll still pass .. just bcuz i did all my work & did good during the exams. heheh..
This professor is on a different level when it comes down to how much time he sacrifice for his students. He is ALWAYS willing to help and he's hilarious in class too. "Do you see what I see?" He gives nicknames to some students.... (I was the tall lady.) If you are willing to work hard, TAKE HIS CLASS.. I promise that you won't regret it.
DR. CONROY IS SIMPLY THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. HE MADE THE CLASS SO INTERESTING AND IS A REALLY FUNNY GUY. HE'S SO CUTE AND SHORT AND MAKES JOKES ABOUT HIS OWN HEIGHT. I JUST LOVED HIM. MATH IS NOT MY SUBJECT AT ALL, BUT I ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO HIS CLASS. HE'S AMAZING. TAKE HIM!!
BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
This professor is the best !!! He makes math easy to understand.I always looked forward to going to his class and i HATE math. Just do all the homework and and follow his steps becasue it works!!!
he is the best professor you will ever take..he's really funny and makes class so interesting by his cute little jokes...all his tests are take home so there is no chance of failing his class unless your and idiot or don't like attending. take him you won't regret it!!! it's not often you get a professor like dr. conroy.
He is a GREATTTTTTT TEACHER! I wish all the teachers in NOVA were like him. Seriously one of a kind. He always makes you laugh, you take a lot of notes but you'll want to take them because his methods are golden and you'll actually understand algebra! I took him for 03 and 04. He is always available for help. I'm in math 152 and I still visit him!
Any person who dislikes Dr. Conroy is lazy. They don't want to do his methods because they take TIME and can be a bit tedious. They don't like homework checks because that means they have to DO homework. I don't need to say how great he is, his MANY awards speak for him. I will say that I adore him and think he's such a gift to NOVA students.
Amazingly gifted, funny, witty and loving teacher. He got the professor of the year award. He explains the subjects so well that you understand everything. his work is kind of time consuming but its easy and most everyone passes
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER YOU COULD EVER HAVE!! I HIGHLY RECOMMONED HIM FOR A TEACHER.
Absolutely a must take! His method's are unlike any you've probably seen, yet they are solid as tungsten. If you choose Dr. Conroy, be prepared to take many notes, homework and tests. He has taken someone that despises math and now enjoy's it. I am completing a six-week with him and am attending a full-semester with him in the fall.
His personality begins to wear on you pretty quickly, I'm not one for corny, annoying jokes repeated ad nauseum. Other than that he is brilliant, I would recommend a 6-week, it will be tough but he won't annoy the living crap out of you by the time it's done.
Also, if you aren't of-jesus he won't like you. He wears a big ass cross that makes me uncomfortable and he didn't like me because of my sexual orientation and he didn't like another girl because of her children out of wedlock. He will always mention he's a Deacon.
Great math teacher, really simplifies and explains complex math functions. I loved his class!
He explains the "whys" and not just the "how" to work math problems. Great teacher. Wish I could take him for all my math courses.
He is a true example of what a Professor should be like. He basically takes control of his classroom and catches the attention of 95% of the students. If you take his class, you will not regret paying $400-50. It's a good inversion.
Dr. Conroy is an amazing teacher and a kind, humorous man. He truly cares about his students and connects with them on a level that transcends the classroom. Many people will say that his class is easy; the truth of the matter is that his class is challenging, but it seems easy because HE IS AN ABSOLUTE EXPERT IN THE CRAFT OF TEACHING.
An absolutely excellent Professor! If you have considered yourself "not a math kind of person" and/or have extreme trouble with math, Dr. Conroy is the professor for you. Follow his rules, deal with his intricacies, and accomplish ALL assignments and you will walk away feeling differently about math. Enjoy!
omg best professor ever! if you dont like math or dont understand it take him. you just have to do the hw and take notes and you are set. he gives take home tests. im telling you you will not regret this class.
There are many math teachers out there, but there are only few who can really teach. He is one of those few good math teachers.
he is very helpful..thats the only thing i like about him. He checks hw randomly, so if you don't think you can keep up, don't take him. he needs a better hw policy he is funny but i need a more serious teacher, not a comedian to teach me math so i can move up to calc. take him at your own risk. if u get a bad vibe just save urself the headache.
Extremely easy class. However, I am not easily amused so I did not find his humor funny but rather annoying. In addition I would like to remind Dr. Conroy that religion does NOT belong in the classroom. He definitely showed favoritism among the people who kissed his ass...
AMAZING TEACHER.
All of the comments below are exacting... it is all in your court. Dr. Conroy is not your standard professor, yet you will walk away with new methods and a better understanding of basic math.
I believe some of the comments that Dr. Conroy brings religion into the class is wrong, because STUDENTS ask him about his weekedned and he shares it. He NEVER has preached or done a sermon! If a students asked him about his religion he tells them he will talk to them out of class. He uses his GREAT HUMOR to take the fear that most people have abou

I took Mr. Conrad six years ago and I still remember how amazing he was. Probably the best teacher I have ever had.
He is the best...he makes math intersting and he will make sure you learn the subject before he moves on to something elsa. He gives out take home test that are 10 questions and he lets you do corrections. His office hours are great and he is always there to help you.
Doctor Conroy is the best math teacher ever.
He is a very nice teacher that keeps me entertained while teaching. He gets off subject sometimes, but that's what keeps me awake :D You need the book for sure, but do not need the Math Lab whatsoever, so I recommend renting the book. He writes on the board and is hands on, and gives take home tests. I definitely recommend him.
Best most funniest teacher!!! very sweet and helpfu.l Do all your work and you will get an A don't do anything and you will get a C
David Conroy is a very gifted teacher. At first he may come off as somewhat overbearing with his hands-on approach, but is essentially harmless and helps bring students out of their shells. Very clever ways of teaching formulas. One negative though is his constant requirement that you meet him in his office, sometimes hours after class has ended.
I've never been good at math, but Dr Conroy really helped me understand the material. He is also very caring, he is strict with how he wants his homework to be done and is strict on how you write notes, and you must have a binder or else... but other than that he is strict because it's good for you. I wish other professors were like him.
BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN, TAKE HIM !
The man is what a math professor should be. Be polite in class and do what is necessary to get the job done. Very helpful, kind, and is there for you when needed for anything! Truely one of a KIND!!
even if you have problem with math to solve math problem. you can still get a very high grad.getting A is easier in his than making coffee..
Dr. Conroy is the best Math professor you and I will ever have. There is nothing he can't explain clearly because he truly understands every discipline he teaches, unlike many teacher in many fields. He has long office hours and is willing to cut into personal time in order to help his students. Respect him and you'll pass!
The best professor in history when it comes to math. what you learn from him is what you will take and teach other. Dr. David Conroy has a not forgettable skills of teaching.
If you want to believe the comments on this page...the only thing I can tell you is that you are cheated. I am an international student (I know I am not good at English, judge me if you want to), I do not care how American students think about math. this is not math. this is a very cheap comedy show. the worst math class ever in my life
Dr. Conroy is the sweetest professor there can be. He always writes nice motivation quotes on my quiz papers. He really does help you out and will do so until you really get it! I recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Dr. Conroy IS the best teacher I've had at NOVA. He makes math very clear & he is funny & very kind. The only grades we have are our 4 tests. He assigns minimal homework every class which he checks to make sure you've done it. I would recommend this class to anyone. The way he teaches the material makes it so easy to understand, youll get an A.
I want him to teach seriously but he treats his class like a comedy act. His jokes are stupid and it takes away from the learning. He picks favorites. Certain students will bring him food and coffee and then he likes them best. He only likes the suck ups! He is prejudiced,always says that women are high maitenance and opressive to their husbands.
Dr. COnroy is absolutely by far the BEST professor at NOVA. He is very kind and his lectures are very clear. Before Dr. Conroy i absolutely HATED math. Now i wish he was teaching a MTH 152 so i could take him ): his teaching style is spectacular and he makes sure you understand the materials covered before moving on to new material. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
HE should teach Calc.
His jokes could be really annoying, but he is really really good at teaching and helping you understand. Will even stay late to help you! TAKE!
Dr. Conroy is the best professor ever! I hate math, but Dr.C makes his class environment very friendly and comfortable for everyone. He gets to know each of his students and is simply the BEST! I would take his class in a heartbeat!!:)
Favorite professor ever!! He is the sweetest guy in the world! He made math so easy and clear to understand! There was not one negative aspect of his class! I highly recommend taking his class. He gets to know each and everyone of his students and takes his job seriously, LOVE HIM!
Dr. Conroy is the BEST! He may be tough when it comes to teaching.. but it's for your own good! He's adorable and funny! But expects you to attend every lec and max hours in lab. He's very helpful and wants everyone to excel in math! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!
Dr. Conroy is the kindest, most merciful math teacher I have ever had. He is sweet, knowledgable, and such a giving man. If you are struggling, speak up, and ask for help, and you will reap the rewards. If you use your cell phone in class you have to bring in home baked cookies (which is awesome for the rest of us) pick him if you can.
Best teacher ever !!!! You would be dumb if you did not take his class :)
Dr. Conroy is one the finest man alive!I have never seen a teacher who really cares and respects his students.He is the only teacher who I have seen saying to his students,"I trust you!You are important!You are not a failure"..You are special! The class was in tears.The speech he gave the first day in class was a pot of gold!I went home and cried.
Struggled w/ math in HS, but now I really like it! He's a little odd, but a wonderful person who just wants his students to succeed. Class is fun. HW isn't graded, but you've got to do it because he'll check it. Tests are straight from the HW, and he offers test corrections. Always willing to help you out or just chat in his office! Take his class!
He is God of math, masterpiece. If we have 1000 teachers like Dr.Conroy everyone of us would have majored in Math.His method of teaching is amazing.I was scared to take math for three years.Now I love math!I am going to miss his class.His last day speech was motivational.He should have been motivational speaker part time,for some of us who needs it
Take him!I hope he stays forever!Do not miss his first day class or last day, you need to hear his advice.Even if you do not take his class, just be there to hear what he says.I learned a lot in one month than in all my math classes.Dr.Conroy if you need help in the future or no place to go,pls call on us we will take care of you!Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Super easy course. Very basic math fundamentals. Dr. Conroy keeps the class interesting with his jokes and humor. Took the summer 6 week course and breezed through it. 5 tests, each 100 points and he lets students do corrections. Hw is easy but sometimes time consuming. If you want a good grade in an entertaining class take Dr.Conroy!
He is the best Math teacher I ever had in my whole entirelife! Don't take any other math teacher! He makes class interesting and cares if you pass or not and I got an A in his class! I will def come back to visit him because he made an impact in my life! I DEF RECCOMEND HIM!!!!
I love Dr. Conroy! He changed my life. He made me to love math. For those of you who are scared of maths pls take him. You will be very happy with him. His time and energy is devoted to his students.He loves his students and wants everybody to be successful. He is real human; he feel others problem and gives encouraging advice. He is the best ever!
I LOVE DR CONROY!!!! Hes really friendly, kind and understanding!!!!! great teacher! big help and very generous! i wish he taugh math 152:(
Dr. Conroy is amazing! Prior to taking his class I hated math and always felt like the slowest one in the class but Dr. Conroy changed that. He went out of his way to ensure I got whatever help I needed. No question was left unanswered. I highly recommend him!
The president of NVCC needs to quadruple this professor's salary! He is nothing but outstanding. Amazing is the word. He is straight forward and respectful(provided you are in return).He stays late afternoon,sometimes till 7or 8pm to help students. His devotion is amazing. God Bless him.
Hes the best professor anyone can ask for!!!! He never leaves you hanging, always checks on you. Very funny with his sarcastic jokes and just wants to see his students exceed. I reccomend !! The textbook is actually an online version, its mandatory!
Wacky sense of humor, but good heart. Has more office hours than most, so he can see as many people as possible -- take advantage. If you need help, say so: he will break it down for you. Often goes right to the wire, time-wise. Likes feedback&discussion, and thrives on student interaction. Acts silly, but reveals some good memory tricks.
Make sure you pay attention to registration dates and sign up for his class IMMEDIATELY. Do your homework. Go to class. Participate. Dr. Conroy is one of the most inspiring professors I have ever had. I adore him.
He is one of the nicest people I have ever met! He would do pretty much anything to help out his students and makes his lectures very entertaining. If you have any understanding of math this class will be easy for you! He does take a lot of class to go over homework so it can get boring.But if math isn't your major I would recommend him to anybody.
If you need a prof who will break things down, this is the guy. Tries to be in his office often to help students. Kind of weird humor, and almost like a big kid, but understanding and cares that students pass his class. There's a reason he's popular; sign up early!
Fair and fun to be in class. Take him
love love love this teacher! I could honestly say he is one of the best math professors I've ever had at nova. He explains problems thoroughly and helps you until you understand it. He's an adorable old man and is kinda funny. Class is based on exams only, but other than that I definitely recommend this teacher! You won't regret it at all.
Very nice guy
All his grades are from the exams, He might be helpful but he wants everything his way.
Dr. Conroy is such a sweet heart he is VERY helpful and will clear out any doubts.I will definitely take him again if I could . :)
Very helpful, fair and clear. His tests are just like the guide. He tries hard to be available in office. I would take him for 152 if I could.
I have never written a review until now. This was my third time taking MTH 151 and Dr. Conroy is by the far the nicest, most sweetest person you will ever meet. I am blessed to the opportunity to have had him as a professor. He is EXTREMELY helpful and actually wants you to succeed. I highly recommend him.
5 Exams, do the HW, do any and all corrections, ask questions! This wonderful instructor has been there for 45 years now and he knows everything about his craft and then some that 99% of the other math professors do not know or have yet to figure out! I am going to miss him since he still doesn't teach 152! God Bless You Conroy, and be forever you!
He is the BEST! I used to hate math, but after taking his class and the shell! I know now for sure that math could be very easy to handle if you are lucky to have a prof. like Conroy! he is the master of his craft! he loves his students as they were his children! never mind to stay in office long hours just to help them!Sad he dosn't teach MTH 152
he is perfect i love him so much take his class you will not regret it!!!!!!! :) he's amazing and so helpful
Nice and funny professor gives you study guide gives you retake and half credit for all tests but when it comes to teaching the lesson is not very clear gives the hw first then the lesson explains the lesson at the last 15 minutes of class if ur not good at math dont take him
Dr. Conroy is a professor who cares and wants you to learn. He has a quirky sense of humor and always makes me laugh. I recommend his class to every body. Pick him now because his classes fill up quick. He's old but young inside. He makes learning math a lot easier and goes at the students pace. He cares about every single person and encourages you
The best teacher I have ever had in my whole life. made math easy and fun. sacrifices his time to get us to pass. He truly has a passion for his job and loves his students....
DR. CONROY IS AMAZING. This man will do everything in his power to make sure you understand the material. I had his class two semesters ago and I still go to visit him. Every windy day he says "My doctor told me to be careful, I might blow away!" He is a wonderful man and a wonderful teacher. If math is not your best subject, take Dr. Conroy!!
Amazing professor, truly cares for his students and wants everyone to succeed. He is awesome.
Very nice man. He cares about his students but do not take him and you are not good in math. I had to withdraw because he assigns homework before learning the lesson. You would have to teach yourself and then he would go over the homework, then teach the lesson towards the end of class.. Very very hard
Dr. Conroy is a wonderful professor all the way around! Love him..
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Conroy. The best professor hands down. He has a way of teaching that really gets you to understand math. His personality makes the class that more enjoyable! He assigns homework for a section before you really go over it in class, but other than that, I highly recommend him!
DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU ARE GOOD AT MATH. Dr. Conroy is a very nice man and cares a lot about his students but he does not explain stuff before he assigns it. and the homework is very time consuming since you have to show every step. but he will help you if you are willing to learn.
Dr. Conroy is one of the most profound professors I have ever had. He will stay in his office answering questions no matter what time of day. I recommend his class 100%. He goes slow and makes sure that every student has a clear understanding. Study guides are amazing and very clear, exactly identical to tests. Overall great class. Great professor.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER... NO CONTEST.. By experience I can tell that you are so dam lucky to have it in your memory. Wonderful time we spent with him.. Made me love math..
Dr. Conroy is the best professor! I knew I was going to enjoy his class on the first day of the semester by how amazing he was. If you have the opportunity to take his class PLEASE do so! You will not regret it!
He's a super awesome guy. He really cares about his students and will help until you understand the material. His tests are basically the study guide. Do all the work and you'll pass.
He is hands on the best teacher ever and he is always there to help. This class was the best class ever and it was really easy.
BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN!!! Take his class and you will pass!
Conroy is seriously the best. He looks like Mr. Fredrickson from the movie UP. He even wears little bowties! All jokes aside, he's a fantastic professor. He not only thoroughly explains things during lectures, but he stays after school and has math seminars for all the students to bring food and study together! Definitely recommend this class.
LOVE him. Class can be hard because he is a difficult grader, but it's so worth it. Don't take this class with anyone else.
His is one of the best professors that I have even had. He made me from hating Math, to love Math.
Welcome to college level math! Expect to discipline yourself in reading and doing the home work he assigns. He builds a learning community so follow his lead. If you don't understand something go to him and ask for help. He has a lot of office hours, and it pleases him, to help you! He truly cares about his students.
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Conroy, he is one of the BEST professor at nova. If you get the chance take HIM! Of course math can be hard but not impossible, he is always their to help his students. There is a study center near his office, i totally recommend, you get extra help! YES, you need to take extra time for this class but @ the end its worth it!!
Thanks to his help I was able to go to George Mason. He's one of the best professor at NOVA. Just listen to his lecture, and practice. As well study at the studying center near his office. Depending on your math skills you'll be guarantee a C or above.
Easily the greatest professor at Nova hands down. He was extremely helpful if I needed help on anything. He makes class very fun because he is hilarious, and also makes sure you understand the material. THE BEST MATH TEACHER TO EVER LIVE
Professor Conroy, is no doubt a wonderful teacher. Tho he is not for everyone, i found him condescending at times. He starts the first class trying to motivate us, he tells us he knows how hard of time we have had with math. Unfortunately the rest of the semester he is not motivating, in fact i found him demotivating.
Teaches by experience not from the text book. Very passionate to help students understand concepts. Homework was minimal but lectures based on concepts learned practicing homework. Very generous with partial credit for wrong answers on exams. His explanations will stick with you for life! Gives great stories about his bride and is so funny too.
He is the best professor I have ever had in my entire life. He made me love math. He is always there for you no matter what time it is. He loves helping and he is so funny and talkative. He wants you to get a good grade but more important than that, he wants you to be a better person for the world. Definitely take him! Textbook only for homework.
Dr. Conroy, wow honestly hands down the best professor on earth! I was in MTT before i took his class. I was scared because i suck at math. He made class enjoyable! Fun! And he cares! Hes in his office at 6am where you can go and get help!!! 4 exams! He gives you a chance correct answeres for half credit!!! I wish he could teach mth 152.
Dr. Conroy is an amazing professor!!!!!!!! best professor on this planet!!!!!!!! take him! just take him! he cares for his students!!! he gives you a chance to correct your answers on tests. the lectures are amazing! not boring as all! you will actually enjoy math if you take him! i still have my shell he gave us our first day of class!
best professor i have ever had! hes so kind i love him
Currently still taking him but I LOVE DR CONROY! He is the cutest and sweetest little man ever! He is super nice and helpful and extremely cares for his students. He's in his office from 7am until late afternoon if you need any help. Homework & study guides aren't graded but are to help you prepare for tests. Trust me you will love him. TAKE HIM!!!
Dr. Conroy is the best Math professor I have ever taken! He helps you understand all the materials the best way he can, is always encouraging students and is very funny! Seriously, Dr. Conroy loves what he does and that's why he is the best! Would def take him again and again if I could! Amazing Prof!
Honestly, Dr. Conroy is the best math professor! He's really engaged when you need the help, however he won't hover when you seem to be doing fine. I usually struggle with math but he's been very helpful in every way. If you want a professor who will tech from experience as opposed to reading out of a textbook, he is perfect for it!
Dr. Conroy is a great teacher and loves helping his students. The grade you receive in the class is only from the tests, and he does grade you on the work (If you get the work wrong and the answer right, it will still be marked wrong) but he lets you do test corrections for half credit.
Amazing professor who truly cares about his students. Math is hard but he will sit with you and take the time to make sure you understand the material instead of just leaving you to drown.
This is the cutest little man. I hate math. I had an 8am with him and LOOKED FORWARD to it every week. If that doesn't convince you to take him then I do not know what will.
Dr. Conroy is the best professor at NVCC!! He is well organized, there for you when you need extra help, keeps lectures interesting, tests are fairly easy if you pay attention and study (Don't skip class). Seriously He's an amazing professor and human being. P.S. DON'T CHEAT
I told hi he should run for president. Everyone in the classroom give me a standing O when I said that He said he can't run cause if he did he wouldn't be allowed to teach math
Take him you won't regret it. Class is fun and easy. Best math professor at NOVA.
Dr. Conroy is fully dedicated to his students and will ALWAYS put you first. He helps you suceed in class. He gives you study guides, he's there till like literally 10pm to make sure he's available for all students. He's there early in the morning the day of the test to help you succeed. I love him! he makes me wanna be a better student!
avoid at all costs. just terrible.
He is the best teach ever!!! not just in math but in general. You could ask him to explain something to you 300 times and he would do it. He really wants the students to understand math. He is the most caring teacher and person that I know. I did my homework and studied with him in his office hours. He always ties to make time for everyone contiued
continued... You should not skip class and do all your homework. He always goes over the homework in the beginning of class. He is very funny and sweet. Anybody who wrote a bad review here is just straight up a lazy. Not liking him is like not liking puppies. Take advantage of the half credit and all his office hours and you will easily get an A!!
make every hard subject look easy. He reasons with math theories and that is the reason why you'all understand it quick. He's hilarious, organiced, nice with his students, caring and see you as an individual student. Take him 100%
Nice guy and all but too much "hand holding" with the students. Let the students struggle otherwise when they take their next math class they are going to struggle because of coddling. Best teacher does not necessarily imply easy teacher. Good teachers actually make you struggle and learn the material.
He's an interesting guy, definitely inspiring, but didn't get what the hype was all about. The only grades you have are the tests, so if you do bad on those you're screwed.. he does offer half credit corrections however.
Professor Conroy makes math easy to understand. He takes his time and does not rush. He's hilarious and adorable. Take him.
Too easy, doesn't challenge students. Only helps those that he favors. Treats you like someone in high school. These students are going to be in shock when they transfer to a four-year university. Not impressed by this guy. Had to drop the class because we were behind schedule and felt like I wasn't learning anything. Students like cuz he is easy.
Dr. Conroy is the sweetest Professor at NOVA. Personally I suck at math and Dr. Conroy was very understanding and helped me through the course. He lets you do test corrections which is nice. His lectures are amazing and he is always there if you need him!
He's very caring, old fashion, and funny. I love Dr Conroy. Bts, if you want to learn, take him. Correct steps and answer, it will count as correct. There is no partial credit. This is college, he needs to be strict about that. This class really prepare you for higher math.
BEST TEACHER EVER. if math isn't your strong suit TAKE HIM! He makes it so easy and his teaching style is great. His main focus is his students learning. 4 tests and then the final. each test is less than 20 questions. also he lets you do test corrections for half credit to boost up your grade. However, you will have to get the textbook for hw
I loved Dr. Conroy! He's funny, if not predictable with his humor. He told me to switch my major from polisci to math because I did well. However, I would NOT recommend his class if you're good at math already and don't want to be bored. It's really easy.
Dr. Conroy has over 40 years of experience, and is full of energy and is very dynamic. Because he knows what works best, he is very particular about the way things are done, so be sure to pay close attention to instructions. He goes above and beyond in making himself available for help outside of class. He commands respect.
TAKE HIS CLASS!!! I absolutely adore him, he does everything he can to help his students succeed. He is VERY available for study Q's & test corrections. Understanding, hilarious, thorough. He provides study guides for each exam (4 total). Gives examples so you actually understand material. Love him!!!!
he is the sweetest professor know in Annandale campus he even won an award for being an outstanding caring professor out of the whole nova campuses. take him and you will not regret it. also show up to class or you will not pass. and if you don't understand something he will help you understand with life examples.
This guy is the definition of "kooky". He is a great teach who can break everything down barney style for you when you really don 't understand things. He will do everything under the sun to help his students and he wants you to succeed. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MATH.
He is the best math teacher I've ever meet. He explains everthing clearly, doesn't do any test before he makes sure everyone in class understanded everything that will be on the test. He gives study guide and questions on the test are exactly in same format with questions from study guide. He has very good daily life exapmles to teach the topic.
Too easy and the class is not challenging. You will suffer when you take your next math class. Take only if you want a GPA booster. Nuf said.
I LOVE Dr. Conroy. He is the cutest old man I've ever seen in my life. Also cares about your grade and life. Makes math so approachable.
Love this teacher, he is sweet and caring. Most of his jokes are corny but laugh anyway and he will love you. I took his 8am class and was very understanding when I showed up late, (just tell him there was traffic). He is very good at explaining the concepts you don't understand.
love this man! best math teacher ever and class. hes a really great person, teaches well and is always very helpful an sweet it gets annoying but its a good thing! hes really funny too so never a boring class. willing to help anyone and everyone. allows half credit point back on test that REALLY help you out !! take his class !
Professor Conroy really cares about his students. He loves us all individually and he makes the class so much easier for everyone. His study guides are exact replicas of his exams and his final exam isn't too difficult either. Just keep up with the notes and homework and you'll be fine. This class isn't supposed to be difficult, so do your part.
Such a cute little old man. He is very caring and you can tell he has life experience along with a sturdy understanding of math. He makes class fun and interactive. Though when it comes to taking tests he has a very clear grading criteria. Do all your homework and follow his format of doing things. Never a dull moment in his class.
I started in this class thinking it would be super easy, but turns out its not. He says he cares about his students but i dont feel that way. You use the text book for 12 homework assignments. You take 3 test and one big final. Make sure you actually study because Half assing this class doesnt work. He takes attendence seriously and my grade paidit
Mr. Conroy is such a sweet and caring human being. If you do your part this class is an easy A. All of his pre-test reviews are a replica of the exam. If you pay attention and just give some effort this class is a piece of cake. I loved this class.
Dr. Conroy is the best teacher I've ever had at NOVA. He's funny, caring and makes math easy. He has office hours a lot throughout the day and encourages you to come for help or even to say hello. He gives out reviews before the exams that are identical and even let's you correct mistakes on the exam for half credit. TAKE HIM!!!
Excellent teacher, but if you struggle with math, try to visit his office hours as often as you can.
Dr. Conroy is one of the best teachers I've ever had, and certainly one of the best math teachers I've had too. There are 4 exams, and one final exam that only covers the first three exams. I got a perfect 100 on the third exam, which I've never done since elementary school. For once, I didn't feel like a failure in math. Take his class! :D
Dr. Conroy is one of the best math professors I've ever experienced. He has several methods of teaching, and will work with you until you figure out what works best for you. He's very kind and compassionate about teaching. I fully recommend, especially if you struggle with math as I do.
Dr Conroy is the greatest professor I have had since returning to school. He is dedicated and understanding to those that need extra help and he has more open office hours and study groups than any other professor combined. If you want to learn by his methods and actually understand Math this is the class. He is fantastic.
Terrible. worst teacher ever. conceited
I attended nova a couple years back and today my favorite math professor came to mind. He is the most caring, passionate, funny professor @nova. Freshmen's, I recommend taking his class. You have to show up to class, take notes and he is always available outside of class. I don't remember if the textbook if required btw.
Graduated NOVA a few years back, and for some odd reason I remembered my favorite Professor Conroy. I dont know if he still teaches but if he does, TAKE HIM! He is the most caring and loving professor I had @NOVA. Truly it was a pleasure to take his course.
