Im awful at chem and hes 100% the best chem Professor out of all of them (Ive had three others as well)

Loml!! My favorite professor at UCSB so far. Def recommend taking him. Great lecturer, efficient, and youll learn really well I promise.

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.

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

Super easy class, especially with Scott Price. If you have a decent math background this class is light work. Very fair exams nearly identical to practice, if you take chem 1a take with price.

Was made to teach. ORGANIZED,clear,receptive, cares for us to succeed. No doubt he knows what he's talking abt.His passion 4 teaching def makes a dif. my 2nd quarter REtaking Chem 1A (one of most difficult classes I've taken),but w/ great prof, ur able to earn the grade u work for.Explains IN DEPTH,but w/ simple terms. teaches material to a dif lvl

I love him so much. You could skip every lecture because the videos he posts are incredibly comprehensive. He's funny. He utilizes every minute of class. He wants you to succeed. I highly, highly recommend. Make sure you do the practice exams, they mirror the irl tests comprehensively.

he explains concepts very clearly, and while the class is hard, it's doable

He really and truly is the goat of the ucsb gen chem series. Notoriously tough course, but Price's lectures are so well constructed for easy comprehension and if you use the study resources he gives, there is really no reason why you shouldn't be able to pass. You don't even need to use them all, he's got something for everyone.

Best instructor at UCSB. Price is understanding, knowledgable, and a great teacher. He goes fast in lecture, so always go over the material outside of class. Three exams and ALEKS chapters due every week. Plenty resources and practice exams on Canvas. Very straightforward in expectations for the course. It was an honor to take Price, he's amazing!

I was able to learn chemistry thoroughly taking Price, hes so smart and nice, daddy of chemistry ❤️

Didn't do well in this class, but I don't blame him at all. I enjoyed how aleks was due at the end of each chapter, instead of every Sunday like other professors. Midterms were fair, but the final was insanely hard. Went to his office hours they were helpful, I wish I took advantage of them more.

Chem 1B is hard in general but Price made it slightly more manageable. I think his explanations of material made a lot more sense to me than previous teachers. ALEKS is optional but can cushion your grade. Practice exams and questions are essential to passing.

Dr. Price is such a goated professor, so clear in his lectures and makes it easy for you to follow along. I would emphasize doing his practice exams and really understanding the book problems. On top of that he's so fine. I would take his last name if he asked me.

Price is great at explaining concepts, however he does go pretty fast. I would usually go over notes/rewatch lecture videos to get things I missed in class. If you do all the book problems, practice tests (timed), and ALEKS homework you should be able to succeed. It's important to be able to do the problems fast because midterms are a time crunch.

Price is a great lecturer who made complex concepts in 1B easier to understand. His midterms were very similar to the practice midterms he posted on Canvas. However, I believe his course averages were too high so he made a very difficult final which ended up tanking my grade. Be aware of that final if the averages for the midterms are high!

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.
