i believe price is the professor/class you should always go for when it comes to gen chem. his lectures are the most comprehendible and engaging, in comparison to other professors.

If you plan to take chemistry, get this man at all cost!!! The amount of resources this guy provides will help you pass the class. His lectures are so easy to follow and provides a lot of examples. This man is a legend! A literal goat!

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.
