Had Price online my first quarter in college. Not a bad professor, nice guy. Midterms are difficult and heavily draw from practice textbook problems. ALEKS helps a bit but not a ton. DO BOOK PROBLEMS and I recommend office hours as well. Final was extremely difficult and brought me down a lot, barely passed.

Great professor. Probably the best gen chem prof at ucsb. His class format (lectures, practice problems, aleks) prepares well for the exams. Exams are kind of hard but that's just how chem is.

Price's lectures are easy to understand. Do the textbook problems + practice exams and go to CLAS!!! His midterms were fairly reasonable and reflected what we learned. However, his final was more challenging so make sure you know the content. Chem is a hard subject but Price made it easier. If you're willing to put in the work, you can pass!

He's a really good prof, but I failed the class cuz I didn't the book problems, and let me tell you, you don't do the book problems, I can guarantee that you'll barely pass the class. The midterms and finals are very hard, but the lectures are easy to understand, do the book problems and the practice tests, or else you will fail the class.

Price gives great lectures and are easy to understand, but his tests reflect barely anything that was on the lectures. Failed the class and have to take Chem1A again cuz of Price's tests. His lectures make you think that you know what's going on them the exams really ruin the class. What I learned is that you MUST do the book problems.

His lectures actually make sense- he explains things in a way that's easy to understand even with not much chem background. Midterms were reasonable(assuming you do book problems/practice tests) but final was much tougher(included types of problems not practiced before so you had to be pretty comfortable with the content). Overall highly recommend!

ayo the final was bad ayo

love the guy but the final was way harder than any of our other tests.. wish he had given us practice tests that were more similar to the final because the practice tests he had given were hella easy.

easy A , do the assigned textbook problems and you will ace every midterm. ALEKS is time consumable but helps with your overall understanding of the course. lectures are informative and easy to follow; never had to read the chapters from the textbook to fully understand the concepts

I think Price is one of the best professors for Chem 1A. His lectures are really clear and easy to understand and he incorporates examples that really secure your understanding. He tries to make funny jokes and pop culture references in his lectures and he's an overall great guy. There are 3 midterms and you can drop the lowest which is really nice

Im not the best at chem, but Prof. Price is an amazing lecturer and made concepts easy to understand. He explains everything clearly, and does some examples throughout lectures to make sure you know how to apply certain concepts. Tests are fair, similar to practice exams he puts out. Do the textbook problems for practice, and dont fall behind.

I took the entire gen chem series with Price (both in person then online) and was only able to pass when he was the professor. Lectures are very clear and organized. His explanations are super detailed and thorough (which I needed). Chem is never easy but 10/10 take any chem with him if you have the chance!

I took this class after almost failing with a different prof, and this man is the reason I understand chemistry. Lectures are simple and easy to understand, always available to ask questions. Really cares about his students and loves teaching and you can tell he enjoys what he does. If I had had him as my first chem prof, I wouldve stayed in stem.

Took 1B with Price after failing it once before with another prof, and did significantly better. He just explains everything in such a simple way and makes sure to cover plenty of examples in class. His tests are also fair, whereas others I feel make the tests significantly more challenging than what is even discussed in lecture. Def take Price!

VERY good at his job, he is an amazing professor and does a few in-class demonstrations in order to help students visualize the concepts he is teaching. He is very passionate about his work and is thorough when teaching. I did terrible in high school chemistry but aced his class!

Daddy price is literally a chem god. Hes the best gen chem professor by FAR. I had him for 1A in person and 1B online (due to COVID-19), and there honestly wasnt much of a difference in how thorough his lectures were. He cares about his students, and wants to see them do well. Dont slack on the book work! A lot of exam questions come from there.

I had him for 1A/1B and got A's in both. He's an amazing lecturer. Adapted very well to online. This quarter however there was a HUGE curve - an entire letter grade up - but don't expect that to be the norm. The thing that makes the class hard is the tests b/c they're short on time. Study practice tests and book problems. ALEKS not that helpful.

This dude was so good at adapting to online classes. Apparently he's planning on using the same tech to record lectures in the future so you'll be able to rewatch anything you missed or didn't understand. Chem is hard, Price is amazing, curve is fat.

love this guy, definitely recommend him

I took Price for 1B and 1C, and he is a good, engaging lecturer! The material though is really difficult so you must push yourself to get a good grade!

Chem is hard, Price makes it manageable. Explains things in ways that make them easy to understand. Hoping to get him again for 1C

Price is a fantastic professor for the chem 1 series. It's obvious he genuinely enjoys teaching and tries extremely hard to make his lectures as concise and informative as possible. While I had Price for 1A and 1B, 1B was online due to coronavirus. He's KILLING IT. The only professor to transition well, and honestly he's done it seamlessly. 10/10

He is great! He really wants to provide help for students who struggled with the course and explains materials well!

Price is an amazing teacher! I took chem1A with Joseph and got a D, but got an A- with Price. He thoroughly explains every concept and his lectures are easy to follow. He also does multiple example problems/calculations so you know what to expect on exams. Just go to class and take all the practice quizzes/exams and you will pass!
