CHEM1C . Price S P 26 Days Ago

BEST GEN CHEM PROFESSOR!! On the days he would wear a suit to lecture my friend and I would call him "Mr. President" lol. I had Price for Chem 1B and C and he's a get professor. He posts a lot of practice tests and you can watch his online lectures from covid which are both so helpful for the tests. Practice problems are key!!!

I LOVE THIS MAN HE IS MY ICON. He made learning chem easy, his lectures are great he literally writes out the problem with you and writes out his reasoning/steps. He also posts 5 different versions of past exams with solutions. Only annoying thing is he does not copy and paste a problem from a practice exam and put it on the real exam (iykyk)

Very clearly cares about students. Amazing at simplifying difficult material and breaking down concepts. Probably one of the best professors I've ever had. I owe him for my success in chemistry.

He genuinely wants students to succeed- and he understands that general chemistry is incredibly challenging. He does not make you memorize unnecessary complex ions and is very modern in his approach to teaching. This is class is inevitably very difficult, so to pull it off its important you understand what's happening and not just memorize.

Literally the best professor I have had. If you have the option, take Price for CHEM 1A/B/C (I had him for all three). Exams are definitely difficult but very similar to practice exams. Textbook problems are extremely helpful in understanding the material. Overall, great professor. This class made me enjoy chemistry.

I struggled a lot in Gen chem and actually had to retake chem 1B, but I retook it with Price and got an A! I took 1C with him as well and also got an A! He breaks down the material in a way that makes it really easy to understand and answers emails almost immediately. He is always willing to help and wants you to succeeded!

I literally love this man. He is so clear and his tests are fair and similar to his practice tests and problems from his slides. Chem 1C with my prof from last year was literally impossible, and I gave it my all and still got a D. He is the best gen chem prof I have had, definitely worth it to take his class.

CHEM1C . Price S P 3 Years Ago

He suddenly jumped and yelled in class without any reason, and even cursed in the direction of seats that students were sitting in. He didn't manage the order of the class and final exam room at all, students, his TA, and himself all could yell at the air or at others at will in class and in the final exam room at any time.

If you suddenly find the very rare coincidence that he tended to always say 'she ...' in the direction of every seat you sit in at random, it would be a little bit intimidating and irritating.

During the final exam, Dr. Price kept walking back and forth, saying 'she is simple nurse.' After the extreme chaos in the examination room, he remained silent, then shouted 'she is silly,' 'she was very smart,' 'I am upset about the class,' 'she...' He never apologized and offered a compensatory solution for such a rare test room management issue.

Professor won the Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award in 2018 and is the chair for the Committee for the Faculty Distinguished Teaching Award. Don't know why he chose not to manage the order of the classroom and the final exam room of Chem 1C at all in Fall 2019, and even yelled in the final examination room with his TA and students.

In the examination room, professor price dramatically didnt care about his TA and students yelling dramatically loudly together in the classroom for no reason and disrupting the order of the examination room. He even didnt reply to students when they called his name, stared at him, and spoke loudly enough to him that Price is moral!"

Dr. Price taught knowledge clearly and accurately in class. However, after the appearance of chaos in the classroom and examination hall, effective management and handling were not carried out in time, which further enlarged and exacerbated the problems. Some of his words and deeds in the classroom are difficult to understand and uncivilized.

Wonderful professor. Explains everything clear. Tries to make the class interesting. Final is hard but curved.

CHEM1C . Price S P 3 Years Ago

Dr. Price completed the content of the course and offered relatively good course materials, but he had uncivilized words and deeds in class and brought personal moods into the class, needing to strengthen the management of the class and examination to play a positive role in guiding students. Hope to further improve personal career quality.

Price, the man, the myth, the legend. I have never met a professor who strived to put everyone of his students up for success. He regularly emails instructions to prepare for the following lectures and is very detailed oriented. Overall, the course itself was abstract and difficult but he made it quite interesting and put in work to be accomodating

Wonderful teacher! Great at explaining the subject matter and always willing to go out of his way to help students. He even holds review on the weekends. Chemistry is hard but he is 100% the best chemistry teacher out of all of them in the department.

Price is without a doubt my favorite professor at UCSB! I've had him for two quarters now and his lectures are definitely top tier. Also, his notes are really concise and easy to understand so I'd recommend printing those out for lectures. He's a really easy person to talk to, and will never make you feel like an idiot. I'll miss this one.

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.
