Teaching Effectiveness

Responsiveness

“This professor listens to the issues that the students have with the course and tries to work out an agreement.”

Responsiveness

“He is very flexible and allows for change if needed.”

Responsiveness

“He also takes the time to try and meet with each student personally so that we are more than just a face in one of his classes.”

Responsiveness

“Dr. Broomfield was an excellent responder to feedback.”

Intellectually Challenging

“Instructor asks not only that students to learn the material but engage with it. That has been intellectually challenging”

Intellectually Challenging

“This course is intellectually challenging. I have been dancing for many years, and I still learned a lot and was intellectually challenged in this Intro to Dance course.”

Intellectually Challenging

“I do believe this class was intellectually challenging. Dr. Broomfield introduced a new style of ballet to our class, integrating more contemporary and modern aspects into classical ballet. This forced me to look at ballet in a different way than I always had.”

Effectiveness

“Absolutely! The instructor is extremely effective in helping students to grow as intellectuals and as active citizens.”

Stimulating

“For most, this is a new field and learning how to interpret dances, demonstrate the movements and be mentally abstract is very challenging, but positively stimulating.”

Stimulating

“Professor Bloomfield’s passion for dance is visible each and every class and it makes coming to class a pleasure.”

Stimulating

“Prior to Dr. Broomfield’s ballet class, I was getting bored with ballet. His class this semester gave me a new perspective on ballet and facilitated a newfound love for it.”

Feedback

“The class structure emphasizes growth, and the professor’s feedback on exams, presentations, and participation allows guidance when sought. It is extremely helpful”

Feedback

“Dr. Broomfield gives very helpful feedback to students to make them a stronger presenter. After every presentation, we would go over what that group did well and what areas they could grow on. He did this so that the next group would be able to take the suggestions and give a stronger presentation, and by the final presentations that everyone does, each group will know exactly how to do the best presentation.”

Recommend

“Embodied knowledge and active participation! I wish I had taken this class earlier in my college education, so that I would have cultivated these skills throughout other courses.”

Recommend

“Dr. Broomfield also is always very interested in ballet and pulls from professional and personal knowledge about the subject to better inform his students.”
