    CHEM1A1B . Price S P 25 Days Ago

    had him for both 1a and 1b. he was very great at explaining concepts, but he goes very fast. be prepared to study for hours and work on practice problems every day if u want to get a good grade. at times i felt like the 45 minute time limit for the midterms was a bit harsh based on how long each problem took (for 1b)

    CHEM1A . Price S P 6 Months Ago

    price is a great professor during lecture, he is able to go through material in a short 50 min class very eloquently! i will admit i failed price the first time i had him, but you really have to commit to chemistry. tests are mainly based off textbook problems as well as a good blend of practice exams. you can conquer chem!

    CHEM1A . Price S P 6 Months Ago

    Very nice person and great teacher - I think its just a really hard course. midterms were fair but the final was all curveballs (I dont know anyone who did well). I ended with a B uncurved and though it would curve to an A based on the bad averages but it didnt curve AT ALL.

    CHEM1A . Price S P 7 Months Ago

    Super easy class, especially with Scott Price. If you have a decent math background this class is light work. Very fair exams nearly identical to practice, if you take chem 1a take with price.

    I love him so much. You could skip every lecture because the videos he posts are incredibly comprehensive. He's funny. He utilizes every minute of class. He wants you to succeed. I highly, highly recommend. Make sure you do the practice exams, they mirror the irl tests comprehensively.
