COURSE EVALUATIONS & TEACHING TESTIMONIALS

"I really valued her willingness to accept our assignments at any point. She always followed up if there was an assignment that was not turned in, to check if we were aware that we had missed it. I also valued her focus on mental health and well being."

"This course was an excellent way to learn how we as students have agency to decide how much we do and how we treat ourselves as a model for how we teach our students."

Course Evaluation

"Hands down one of the best professors at UB! Her class was amazing! Definitely cares about her students and is always willing to give a helping hand. We had 5 minutes of mindfulness practices every class and it was one of my favorite parts of the class. There are no exams, focuses more on group work & participation but makes students comfortable!"

"Having never taken a somatic movement workshop before, I wasn't sure what my expectations were. Nevertheless, Alexia's interest and enthusiasm for this kind of practice really shines through. She did a great job of explaining, demonstrating, facilitating, and then debriefing the group all while maintaining an open, supportive, and inclusive environment."

Testimonial from Re-membering Body Workshop

"I loved this class; Alexia is a PHENOMENAL teacher. Her enthusiasm for the course mixed with her intention to creat e a safe/comfortable space for her students Alexia really made me appreciate her as a person/professor. I wish I wasn't graduating so I could have her again!!"

Course Evaluation

"Alexia was excellent. She not only put in the syllabus that our health came first, but made that evident throughout her class, which most professors don't always do. She made it clear that she wanted us to learn, but stressed that we, as people, are most important. She presented the material in a clear, passionate, and engaging way. Her teaching practices aligned with the teaching practices that we were learning about. I feel that I not only learned a lot in her class, but also gained a resource that I can look to in the future for advice."

Course Evaluation

"She was truly the most open minded and welcoming professor I have had throughout my college career. Professor Buono created a safe and caring environment that made us all feel like equals and that all of our voices mattered."
