CHEM1A1B1C . Price S P A Day Ago

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!

CHEM1A1B1C . Price S P A Month Ago

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.

CHEM1A1B1C . Price S P A Month Ago

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.

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 7 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 7 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.
