Professor Simpson was very approachable and you could tell she wanted the best for her students. She truly wanted us to succeed in the class and help us succeed through her constant support and accommodations. 

Professor Mary Jane Simpson was very helpful when it came time to doing individual labs. As chem 103 is the very first chemistry offered as well as the lab to go with it, I felt that the lab served as a great introduction to what future lab experiences should hold in other courses.
