Dr. Price is an AMAZING chem professor, couldn't ask for anyone better for Chem1a. The material is challenging if you've never taken a chem course before but he made it as easy as possible. Tests are very fair but there's not a lot of questions on them, so make sure to do practice problems and do all of the ALEKS

As much as I hate Chem, Price is an amazing professor. Responds to emails super quick and truly wants the best for his students. Lowest midterm grade is replaced if you get a higher score on the final, so make sure to do the practice problems and exams. Pretty big time frame to do the ALEKS assignments as well.

I got A-, A, B for the Gen Chem series. There's a lot of debate over which prof is best. If you like exam predictability, take Price. Do every practice problem he assigns and you will get an A/B, and this is a weeder class. He treats his students as adults, unlike Joseph. He explains well. This will be harder than any HS class you've ever done.

Great all around. Very organized, fair, and engaging.

His lectures made everything very clear and easy to follow. His practice tests were very similar to what his actual tests were like. As long as you are willing to put in the time to do the homework and do the optional textbook problems and actually study, he is a great teacher and his class is not too difficult.

I believe Price made chem as easy as it could be (still a bit hard for me). He uploads lectures and is very clear at explanations. Unfortunately tests are multiple choice (no partial credit), but his practice tests helped me enough to get passing grades. I didn't like using Aleks for homework, but it forced me to spend time practicing each week.

I hated chemistry since I was at my middle school because the teachers made me confused a lot in this subject. But Price's class restored my academic confidence in chemistry. Taking his course is one of the best things I ever did! He is very time-manageable in delivering lectures and gives lots of practice exams.

Barely got through his class, but he was a great prof and definitely the best one I had when taking the gen chem series.

UCSB as an academic institution is blessed to have someone like Scott Price ever walk on their campus. This man is a gem. He will take some of the most frustrating topics such as Quantum Mechanics or Thermodynamics, and perfectly explain them conceptually for you later to apply. Email him? will respond fast. Reach out for advice? will give the best

take him you wont regret it :)

Price makes lectures super accessible online and I recommend reviewing content and example questions through his online lectures. However the tests, especially the final, are significantly harder than expected based on lecture content. The tests go way more in depth than we do in class and I have always needed outside help. Great prof, hard class

I'm so in love w him. This prof is everything.

I actually am in love with Professor Price and his teaching. I had a tough run with 1A but 1B was such a turn around because I did the book problems as suggested. If you do what he suggests cumulatively throughout the quarter then you will pass!! Cramming only makes things harder in this course.

Professor Price is one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are clear and concise and he knows what he's talking about. The exams are fair as long as you do the book problems and practice exams. He gives you all the tools you need to succeed, you just need to take advantage of them!!

Was really nice and was a great teacher. lectures weren't mandatory, but highly recommended. Tests were always harder than what was covered in lecture, so make sure to dedicate time to doing the book problems

I've had Price, Sylvester, Anyika, and Joseph for the CHEM1ABC series. Price was by far the best professor with clear, well-paced lectures and very fair exams. He goes through most of the material on the board with supplemental slides which gives you adequate time to take notes and follow along. If you can choose Price, you should.

The best chem professor there is at UCSB. His lectures are easy to understand and well thought out and at the perfect pace. 3 tests throughout the quarter and one final with 15 mc questions and ~50min. Homework is on ALEKS which sucks. Easy to reach, nice, and understanding prof.

Chemistry is very hard, but Dr. Price did a good job at simplifying it as much as he could. I did badly in the class mostly due to my rocky start at the beginning of the quarter (do the book problems). After experiencing two other chem professors, I realize I truly took Price for granted because he is the easiest of them all by far.

Prof Price's lecture is organized and well structured. He gives right amount of info within 50 mins of class time. Totally digestible. CHEM1A consists 3 midterms, 1 final, and ALEKS. Make sure to do both ALEKS and book problems to prepare for the exams. He also provides practice exams. I did them several times before the real test.

Chem 1A is definitely a difficult course and takes lots of work from your part, but Price definitely helps take off some stress with his care free and chill teaching style. He is really good at going over stuff you're stuck on during his office hours so make sure to ASK FOR HELP. Overall he's a great professor, and the curve at the end helps a ton.

Dr. Price is the best gen chem prof there is. This class is not easy, and in order to succeed you have to go to lecture, and do book problems for each chapter. Seriously they are what prepare you for his exams. You want to fo well on the midterms because his final is annoyingly difficult. The curve is pretty fat, work hard and be consistent.

An amazing professor that is clear and concise about materials. Explains well and is insightful with students. Caring and understanding atmosphere. Grading scale is standard but as long as you study and ask questions, you will do well in the class.

I took Price fall quarter and having taken/ hearing about other chem professors he is definitely the best. Super organized, clear, and straightforward with lectures. Tests are hard but so are all chem tests. Great guy.

his classes are relatively more entertaining than average chem lectures. responsive through email and explains things very well. if you put in the effort you'll ride on the curve and get desired grade. but if you are looking for a easy ge then why are you even considering chemistry
