CHEM1B . Price S P 6 Days Ago

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.

Great professor! Only good things to say, and I wish I could take him for the entire gen chem series! Very clear and organized, and has many tools and tips on how to succeed in his class. Great lecturer but also very accessible outside of class. Do the practice problems and practice exams because they are exactly like the midterms and final.

One of the best professors I've had at UCSB. Broke down difficult concepts well so definitely go to lectures. Make sure to do all the ALEKS or else your grade is entirely your test scores. I only ever studied practice exams (didn't do book problems) and still did well on the midterms/final. Warning: final was much harder than midterms.

Price is an amazing lecturer and overall funny guy! He grades the course using two different methods and uses whichever gives you the higher score. For all you ALEKS haters, this means that it is optional, but it does boost your grade if you bomb the exams. My advice for passing this class is to do ALL the book problems & practice exams (NO JOKE)

Great guy, posted lectures online, grading was tough but fair for a weeder class and curve seemed to help people. Posted plenty of practice problems and exams with the same question formats on the midterm. Seems like the best chem 1b teacher.

He is everything he is perfect I would do anything for this man. The most organized professor ever. Do not take any other professor. He makes a really really challenging class doable. You will regret not taking price. Final was lowkey insane tho
