I appreciate the professors’ knowledge and kindness. I know when I have a question or need something, I can go to them and ask. They also try to give as much hands-on experience as they can. Whether it is going out to the lab farm to work with chickens or planting plants in the greenhouse, they try to give us multiple ways to learn the material.
