I love Price, he serves and slays. His lectures are very organized and you can tell he truly cares about his students' success. If you have to suffer through chem at least suffer with a goat.

CHEM1B . Price S P 5 Months Ago

Price is one of, if not the most organized professors I have ever taken. He makes the chem topics so much clearer and spreads the content evenly across the quarter making the class feel way less rushed then what I've previously experienced. 100/10 recommend, even if you have to wait a quarter for him to teach it.

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 5 Months Ago

I was really nervous to go through the chem series, but professor Price seems like by far the best gen chem teacher. His lectures were clear and easy to understand, and the midterms and finals were EXACTLY like his practice midterms. I did less than 5 book problems throughout both of chem 1A and 1B because the practice exams carried me.

1B . Price S P 5 Months Ago

he is AMAZING! definitely has very fast lectures, so if it helps you i would recommend writing out the notes pre-lecture and leaving space to work out the example problems he does in class. you have two grading options for your grade DO ALEKS! it is a good cushion in case you don't do well on exams.1b is harder than 1a, price makes it seem easy.

1B . Price S P 6 Months Ago

Homework is optional. The grade is 2 tests and final, and homework if you choose. Amazing professor- I doubt I will experience his level of organization during lectures again. Hands down the best professor for Gen Chem at UCSB. He starts the sequence one quarter behind normal though, so 1A starts winter qr. Take Dr. Price for chem, he is amazing!
