Didn't do well in this class, but I don't blame him at all. I enjoyed how aleks was due at the end of each chapter, instead of every Sunday like other professors. Midterms were fair, but the final was insanely hard. Went to his office hours they were helpful, I wish I took advantage of them more.

Chem 1B is hard in general but Price made it slightly more manageable. I think his explanations of material made a lot more sense to me than previous teachers. ALEKS is optional but can cushion your grade. Practice exams and questions are essential to passing.

Dr. Price is the best professor I have ever had at UCSB, I took the whole GCHEM series with him. This professor actually cares about student success and is always available to help (even if you can't make office hours). I was failing with Abu Omar and excelled with Dr. Price. If all professors were like Dr. Price it would make UCSB a better place.

Price is great at explaining concepts, however he does go pretty fast. I would usually go over notes/rewatch lecture videos to get things I missed in class. If you do all the book problems, practice tests (timed), and ALEKS homework you should be able to succeed. It's important to be able to do the problems fast because midterms are a time crunch.

Price is a great lecturer who made complex concepts in 1B easier to understand. His midterms were very similar to the practice midterms he posted on Canvas. However, I believe his course averages were too high so he made a very difficult final which ended up tanking my grade. Be aware of that final if the averages for the midterms are high!

Great lecturer and provides tons of resources on the canvas page, including recorded lectures. Midterms were reasonable and were a lot like the posted practice tests. My advice would be to take ALL of the practice tests. I only really struggled on the final, as it was not as much like the practice problems.
