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.

The grade for this class is based on 3 midterms (the lowest score gets dropped), a final exam, in-lecture questions, and ALEKS. The lectures were pre-recorded and Dr. Price does a good job with organizing and presenting the information. However, the exams are very difficult and watching the lectures alone is not enough to pass.

Prof. Price is pretty good at teaching! His lectures were clear and pretty interesting. However, his tests (3 midterms and a final) were horrible. I did all of the homework, started studying one to two weeks before each test, and took handwritten notes for all of the lectures, and still struggled really hard. I think Chem 1B is hard no matter what.

Price's lectures are clear and the material isn't too hard to grasp. The issue was the final exam, it was pretty difficult in comparison to the recommended book problems and practice exams we were given. He has an issue of making things seem like they'll be easy, then boom, a difficult exam.

I never actually met Price, but his recorded lectures were great. He explains every step and gives you tips on how to approach problems. He also gives you recommended book problems. He is by far the best CHEM 1A-B professor. Responds to emails reasonably well. Exams are 16 questions/1hour, so time isn't bad. Expect at least 2 or 3 curve ball ?s

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

Price is probably really good in person as everyone claims, but online school is not for him. He gives good lectures, is really nice, and really cares if you ask him for help; however, his tests do not reflect his lectures nor the book problems. They are insanely hard. Some questions are about things he does not even teach. The curve is laughable.

Prof price is really good and explains concepts really well but his tests are insane. I did all the books problems and practice tests and went to every office hours and still struggled on his tests.

His exams are unrealistically hard. Questions are not really testing your understanding of the concepts but rather designed to trick you. I did all the book problems, practice tests etc. but still struggled. It seems to me Price is trying to prove he can create the most tricky Chem questions at UCSB. Don't agree with any of the positive reviews.

Professor Price is definitely the best Chemistry teacher in the department. His lectures are thorough and he provides detailed explanations. My main issue is that despite doing all textbook questions and practice exams I really struggled on tests, especially the final. It can be frustrating when you feel like its impossible to do well.

Ngl Professor Price is not worth the hype in my opinion. Maybe its because of the pandemic or I just dont do well with his teaching style, but his exams are awfully hard for no reason. As someone who has done a lot of practice on bookwork, attended tutor sessions, and have done practice tests. The exams are not an accurate representation of me.

Professor Price is a great option for Chem 1B. He explains difficult concepts clearly and he's a really nice guy. His midterms are reasonable; as long as you watch the lectures, do ALEKS, and rework the textbook problems, you should be fine.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Literally just don't take any other professor for gen chem

price is extremely prepared for every lecture, and everything in the class is very structured. He tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed, and if you do it you can surely get an A. DO THE BOOK PROBLEMS UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. He makes everything really simple and easy to understand. I love how clear he is. Really a 10/10 lecturer.

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

probably the best professor ive has at UCSB so far. he makes sure everyone understands his examples and answers any questions during lecture! tests are not the easiest but its chem sooo its expected. made lectures bearable and fun! would highly recommend taking him for genchem series!! :-)

Outstanding professor who has great talent in lecturing. I despised chemistry and had zero interest in the subject matter, and yet I was blown away at how crispy some of professor Price's lectures were. He means business and does not mess around. His review sessions were quite appreciated (very generous with time), but the exams were rather hard.
