CHEM1B . Price S P 7 Years Ago

I barely passed Chem 1A & failed Chem 1B the first time when both were taken with a different professor, but when I took 1B with Price everything was so easy! He explains everything so in detail, really tries to make examples super easy for students to understand, and shows cool demos that keep the class engaged. 10/10 recommend Prof. Price!!

Scott is awesome. He's very accommodating to a student's needs if you have special ones, just go to his office hours. He's super helpful during office hours if you need to go over coursework but also just a really cool guy to talk to. He does little experiments in relation to the material which are always fun and goofy and he gives grading options.

Daddy Price is a beast of a man. I highly recommend taking at least one of the gen chem series with him. He makes his lectures interesting and does more demos than any professor. He also does multiple exam reviews for every exam in the quarter. His tests arent too difficult, but they will test your knowledge. You can't not love Daddy Price.

Professor Scott is THE MAN. He is just an amazing professor. He is passionate about what he does and he clearly loves teaching. He makes jokes in class, uses great analogies to explain difficult concepts, and does super cool demos. Also, he gives revision sessions before exams. And a bonus point, he is super super cute!

Best chem professor at UCSB! Would definitely take his class again! Super passionate about teaching, really cares about his students, and does many demos to visually reinforce concepts and makes class super fun and engaging. Clear and excellent at explaining difficult concepts to students in the most concise way. BEST ALL AROUND quality professor!

The best chem professor at ucsb by far. Yes, his tests are quite difficult and it is easy to fall behind, but if you're on top of it, Price will give you all the tools necessary to pass. CHOOSE PRICE OR YOU'RE ROLLING THE DICE.

Amazing Professor! Explains concepts at least three different ways, so you can understand it. He gave an outline or a study plan for the final and gives super helpful studying tips. There are so many practice tests available. Honestly, I can say nothing bad about him.

In-depth lectures, gives step-by-step explanations. Very passionate and wants you to succeed, 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and 1 final. People are always at his office hours, so he's very approachable and helpful. Has cool demonstrations and has midterm & final reviews.

Dr. Price really knows his stuff. His ability to explain complex concepts in simple words is a gift. As long as you do everything he tells you, you can get an A. It's all hard work and patience. There is no such thing as luck. You can do it!

He's an amazing lecturer who is always clear and coherent. He's super good-looking for a professor so in lecture, I mostly just think of all the things I'd do to him outta class. STUDY HARD if you're not good at chemistry.

Price was adorable. He was approachable and had a great sense of humor. Of course, Price was also an excellent professor. He presented the material simply, and he often did demonstrations in class. His blackboards were ridiculously clear. Prices exams accurately tested for understanding, so if you learn the material and study, you'll do just fine.

CHEM1B . Price S P 7 Years Ago

A professor who wants all his students to succeed. His lectures are extremely clear and informative in the most concise way. Most of the questions that arose in my head as he was teaching the material were successively clarified moments after he finishes addressing the concept. He knows the questions and points of confusions students might have.

Dr. Price is absolutely amazing, his lectures are like the highlights of my day. He makes his lectures very easy to understand and follow, posts his PowerPoint slides online for you to follow. As long as you attend his lectures, you are pretty much guarantee to pass. He has practice tests for each of his tests online.

Dr. Price is the man. Definitely recommend him if you need to take the Chem 1 series. He is a great lecturer, and is SO willing to help. I was in his office hours a few days before the final exam, and he stayed an extra 2 and a half hours just to help all the students in his office. That being said, still not an easy class. You have to work HARD.

Price is a really engaging professor. You can really tell he cares about teaching and the subject itself. You have to do the book problems as they commonly will reappear on the quizzes and midterms just slightly altered. Take advantage of office hours, practice problems posted on the slides of the lectures, and review sessions.

Very clear instruction. Friendly. Couldn't ask for a better professor. However, exams have somewhat convoluted/tricky questions that require a great knowledge and deeper understanding of the material. Don't take the resources/practice problems for granted: iClicker, lecture, textbook, previous exams.

Great lectures. I think he really tries to organize his lectures in a way to help every type of learner. Very cool person. Great professor.

Price's 1A class is tough if you aren't already familiar with chemistry. Keep up with the ALEKs homework as it helps you relate topics together for tests. For all tests, he expects you to take what you learned, and combine multiple ideas to find the answer. He is still a great teacher, and very helpful, both in class and in office hours.

super chill guy. Basically everything you need to know for the tests are either in the book, past tests, or notes/aleks. There really isn't any surprises just do the work, pay attention and you'll be fine. grading isn't too strict either on the tests, he gives out partial credit on the tests for commonly missed questions.

Scott is an awesome person! Very personable and wants his students to well. Had him as a lab teacher at SBCC and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else as a teacher.

Price is the best chemistry teacher around. He teaches exactly what he expects you to know for the midterms and final. Go to all the lectures, do your Aleks, and if your struggling sign up for CLAS. He's also funny and approachable. So thankful he was my professor. He really cares.

Professor Price is a beautiful life saver. Very passionate teacher and very knowledgable. Go to office hours, he's super helpful and approachable (its when you see his enthusiasm for chemistry the most). Best professor I've had at UCSB!
