Awful
Prof. Broeder is the worst teacher ever!
Awesome
Professor Broeder is a wonderful instructor, whom I've learned English with. My course was 960 listening and speaking, but I also had to use writing and reading. I love her creative and attractive teaching methods. Those methods include teamwork, presentation, group projects, etc. Also, she's a very inspiring and dedicated teacher. My English skills have improved a lot, because of her help.
Awesome
I had fun with Professor Broeder's classes. She's a cheerful, resourceful and very responsive instructor. She teaches with great passion. You can always reach her with any questions and she'll provide you with good personal advices and recommendations. When we transitioned online, she was able to find some tricks to make our class exciting and unusual.
Awesome
Professor Broeder is an amazing, inspiring and caring instructor. I like her thinking that learning is exploring and how she develops our self-learning. She's very creative and energetic too. She always learns and applies new achievements in educational art for her teaching, with various skills and activities. Learn English with her for you to be advanced.
Awesome
Professor Broeder is always energetic, affectionate and dedicated to her students. I never get bored in her class and I really enjoy it. Her teaching style was always different and inspiring. If you're hoping to improve your English, she's the teacher who will do her best to help you get out of your difficulty. Overall, she cares about her students.
Awesome
I took ESL-960GW in the spring semester with Professor Broeder. Since the class started, I've been amazed of how professional, creative and enthusiastic she was. It seemed like, she's available to students almost 24/7. Because, every time I turned in my assignments, she immediately sent me back with comments. Overall, she inspired me to move forward and improve my English.
Awful
I wouldn't recommend taking any class of her. She almost never teaches and she's very boring. I feel like her class was only reviewing class.
Poor
Lack of a helpful teacher, often unprepared for the classes, which makes the classes very boring. I do not recommend
