Comment:
Even 46 years ago, Dr. Simpson was prone to mention jazz and the Giants, and had trouble covering all six major Romantic poets in a semester. But he was the best teacher I ever had, and I owe my career in journalism and much of my passion for language to him. His photo is at my desk at The New York Times.

Comment:
Dr. Simpson was really reasonable and approachable. And, boy, he's really into Romantic poetry. I took Romantics II w/ him. It was my only class with him as an undergraduate English major. I only wish I had taken more! He moves a little slow, but we still covered most of the class. I'd recommend him again anytime.

Dr. Simpson is one of my favorite professors. He doesnt go through the syllabus exactly, he goes at the class' pace and includes and excludes what he sees fit. Would recommend to any student at Bonas.

Dr. Simpson is an exceptional human being and professor. He takes an interest in making the subject matter (English, creative writing) FUN and INTERESTING, and he also takes an interest in the future of his students. I HIGHLY recommend this professor.

Say hello to Rick Simpson. This guy will make you love the language we all speak daily but take for granted. Truly a genius in the fullest sense of the word: the man is quite learned. He is the sole reason I double majored in English. If he was an actual medical doctor, I would trust him with open-heart surgery. Seriously. TAKE SIMPSON!

Dr. Simpson is a brilliant man who takes his job very seriously. He is quite easy as long as you know the material, however, is quite boring. Well really boring. You go to class and you basically go over everything that you read the previous night...you will want to cut your throat.

This dude ROCKED... he was so cool with his passion for jazz and the way he made you want to learn. Def one of the best profs I had at SBU, and Eng. wasn't my major.

Signed up to take the class with a different prof and when Dr. Simpson showed up the first day I was bummed... turns out he's one of the best teachers I've had at SBU and he's a really great guy also. At first he may bore you sometimes but you'll get used to his style and love him after that.

Dr. Simpson is a good prof, very into his subject and wants his students to be too. Lots of interesting info in his tangents, including some about jazz! But watch out for the end of the semester: If he's not made through all the material, you'll get all the rest in one fell swoop.

Dr. Simpson was the best professor I ever had in college. I would have gone through college with a completely different outlook if I didn't have him as a professor. I transferred out of SBU, and I he is so good a teacher I almost didn't
