His lectures are on point: well-organized, specific, and interesting. Offers lots of practice material for you to work on (the key to doing well in his class), and gives you different grading options. Also has plenty of funny moments. I wish I could have this guy for Ochem haha.

best professor I have had at UCSB. He is very clear in his lectures and tries to engage students. Highly recommend taking him for the CHEM 1 series. I had him for all three, but did the best in 1C. Tests can be tricky! So, go to office hours, review sessions, and do recommend book problems and practice exams and you should be fine

He posts recommended book problems from the 7th and 6th edition. I repeat : HE POSTS BOOK PROBLEMS FROM THE 6TH EDITION!!! SAVE YOURSELF SOME MONEY AND BUY THE SECOND TO NEWEST BOOK EDITION AND YOU WILL DO JUST AS WELL IN THE CLASS! Great professor, explains concepts in a way you understand. Best professor in chem, take him if you can.

Best gen chem prof there is at UCSB! Go to office hours, he's helpful and easy to talk to. I was lucky enough to have him for 1B AND 1C even though he has only done it once before.

Price is a good professor, he is organized nice..etc. BUT I feel like he goes over the easy concepts in class and the test are super challenging. I tried my hardest and still didn't do so great in the class. I say avoid him. Nice looking face and everything but don't take him...

Had Scott for Chem 1A/B. I came in knowing a little bit of chem (not AP), and got A+'s in both chem 1A and 1B. He really goes out of his way to make the concepts easy to understand, and before each midterm/final, hosts a review session just to make sure you do well. Do all the book problems, you'll definitely get at least an A- if you do.

He can explain fundamental concepts well...but he expects way too much from you on exams (if you want an A that is), you must make many leaps on your own to gain that A. Unfortunately many of these ratings make Dr. Price look like the holy grail of Chem profs at UCSB...but I would say he is of average quality just the same as all the other profs

Bad. stay away. his lectures were very confusing and he didn't respond to emails and i went to office hours and he helped 1 kid while another 30 of us just wasted our time. quizzes are impossible

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

I LOVE THIS MAN. The best professor I've ever had. He made me ENJOY chemistry! I looked forward to class because his lectures are so helpful and he makes it so easy to understand. He provides so many practice tests for each exam and has videos on canvas of old lectures. He's the best ever and I'm going to miss him. DON'T TAKE CHEM W ANYONE ELSE!!!

Best chem prof. I like him as a person and he was accessible during office hours and helpful. The class was insanely hard but all of chem is. He dives into more difficult problems during lecture rather than the simplest version so you know what to do. The final was really hard though and not relevant to the midterms. I'm going to miss my man ;(

Great professor with clear lectures. Chemistry has never made so much sense until now. It's still a lot of hard work, go to lectures (even though attendance isn't graded) and do the book problems and ALEKS (which is also optional) in order to do well in the class. Price is definitely one of the best in the chemistry department.

Professor Price makes the tricky content easy to grasp. The lectures are super clear, and the recorded videos are a lifesaver for reviewing. Use the practice exams and unstuckstudy ai - they'll prep you for the tough tests. Just put in the work and an A is very doable.

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.

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.

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.

he is AMAZING! definitely has very fast lectures, so if it helps you i would recommend writing out the notes pre-lecture and leaving space to work out the example problems he does in class. you have two grading options for your grade DO ALEKS! it is a good cushion in case you don't do well on exams.1b is harder than 1a, price makes it seem easy.

Price is an amazing chem professor and is good at making the difficult content easy to digest. Lectures are very clear and lecture videos are posted online in case you need to go back to review/miss a lecture. Exams can be difficult but are similar to the practice exams given so be sure to utilize those.

Homework is optional. The grade is 2 tests and final, and homework if you choose. Amazing professor- I doubt I will experience his level of organization during lectures again. Hands down the best professor for Gen Chem at UCSB. He starts the sequence one quarter behind normal though, so 1A starts winter qr. Take Dr. Price for chem, he is amazing!
