BEST PROF AT UCSB. Delay taking your first qtr. of gen chem until the winter of your first year because he teaches one quarter behind the regular pathway. I got an A in 1A, B in 1B, and B in 1C, and am convinced I would have failed Gen Chem and dropped this major if not for Price. He is extremely knowledgeable and lectures amazingly. GET DR. PRICE!

BEST GEN CHEM PROFESSOR!! On the days he would wear a suit to lecture my friend and I would call him "Mr. President" lol. I had Price for Chem 1B and C and he's a get professor. He posts a lot of practice tests and you can watch his online lectures from covid which are both so helpful for the tests. Practice problems are key!!!

I LOVE THIS MAN HE IS MY ICON. He made learning chem easy, his lectures are great he literally writes out the problem with you and writes out his reasoning/steps. He also posts 5 different versions of past exams with solutions. Only annoying thing is he does not copy and paste a problem from a practice exam and put it on the real exam (iykyk)

Very clearly cares about students. Amazing at simplifying difficult material and breaking down concepts. Probably one of the best professors I've ever had. I owe him for my success in chemistry.

He genuinely wants students to succeed- and he understands that general chemistry is incredibly challenging. He does not make you memorize unnecessary complex ions and is very modern in his approach to teaching. This is class is inevitably very difficult, so to pull it off its important you understand what's happening and not just memorize.
