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.

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.

CHEM1C . Price S P 7 Years Ago

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.

CHEM1C . Price S P 10 Years Ago

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...
