I followed the syllabus perfectly. I did all the recommended book problems, went over practice and old tests, & understood all the concepts. I still barely passed. I *asked* in the final review ses if the review questions were similar to the exam & he said yah. LIED! Very hard questions, almost none from book/old exams like he said there would be

Price is the best professor Ive ever had. He gives amazing lectures and is super helpful in office hours. But BEWARE, his class is really hard. Make sure you know how to do EVERY book problem (including the challenge problems) and do CLAS with Terri. Midterms are a bit harder than practice tests and final is WAY harder than the practice final.

Price is the BEST teacher you can possibly have for chem. He's a great lecturer. I 100% think he's better than anyone else to take, but be aware the class and tests are ridiculously hard. I'm a straight A student, but failed first midterm, D on the second, and an F on the final. Curve at the end is very big so I ended the class with a C. Do ALEKS!

Professor is a great lecturer and midterms are fair. The only bad thing about this class is he makes the final IMPOSSIBLE I got B's on the midterms and straight up failed the final with a D

Price is a great lecturer we all know this, however he did a horrible job making clear what was expected. You do all the aleks and practice tests, go to review and think your ready to go, but then get to the test and its harder than anything we had ever seen. Maybe I didn't do enough book problems but the problems were very difficult.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. He give entertaining lectures and work out every problem he found significant on the board. If you copy exactly what's on it and study for it, in addition to recommended book problems (it's a must), and ALEKS, you will do great in that class. Tests get gradually more conceptualized. Overall, great!

Prof. Price is the best chemistry professor I have had so far in the general chemistry series. The way he explains things is very clear, no pauses, and to the point, although his tests are incredibly difficult. His methods of writing on the chalkboard make it clear to the student what steps to take when solving a problem. He's the best so take him!

AMAZING! Much prefer him over the other professors. Very accessible and nonjudgemental about what you do or do not know. Made an effort to best help me prepare, in order to earn the highest grade possible.

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.

Price tries his best to make the lectures interesting, and will never make you feel dumb when you're asking a dumb question. He genuinely cares about his students and always holds review sessions before each midterm and final. What a guy man what a guy.

There's a reason he received an award for best lecturer this quarter. Price literally goes above and beyond with every lecture, pulling in references to all sorts of pop culture to help you understand the concepts. Even if you can't go to office hours (which I recommend you do) shoot him an email and he'll help you out. STUDY PRACTICE EXAMS!!

What an amazing human!! He's a great professor, and makes a difficult subject a lot easier than it could be. He's kind, and super awkward, but it's really sweet. I'd take another class with him any day.

Scott Price is a good lecturer but his voice is very monotone that it makes me want to fall asleep. I don't get what the big hype about him is, his lectures are equally as good as Joseph's but i prefer Joseph. His quizzes and midterms are not as difficult if you understand the concept behind the material and if you focus on the practice exams.

This class is extremely difficult. If you put in the effort and do all of the book problems you will be able to pass. The curve is pretty big. He is a great lecturer and keeps each lecture interesting.

I have to say that Price was a solid choice for Chem 1B. He relies heavily on the book problems, which is easy to fall behind in. Quizzes and midterms were fairly straightforward, with 3-6 difficult problems. The final exam is brutal and is nothing like the practice final, BEWARE! Demos are really cool and interesting.

AMAZING professor. You can easily see that he is passionate about what he does. He cares about his students and really wants them to do well. I went to every single lecture because it was worth it. His in-class examples and demos are really interesting and helpful. He also his a witty and dry sense of humor. Go to CLAS and do practice exams!!!

Awesome professor, you can tell he loves teaching this class. I got 100% on both quizzes so I stopped going to class since iClicker replaces quizzes, and ended up screwing myself over because I did not understand most of the topics that I missed. Go to class and do all the practice problems and you will pass.

Price is a fantastic professor worthy of the hype he gets. Tbh, he's not cheerful like I imagined him to be, but you can tell he loves what he does. Every once in a while he'll crack a joke. His demos are super cool. He truly knows how to lecture and convey information in a clear and understandable way. If you have the choice, take him.

Price is easily one of the best lectures for the Gen Chem series. He obviously cares about helping his students do well and gives you the resources to succeed. Like all the classes in the series, your grade depends on the work you put in. If you take the time to learn the concepts and do practice exams, you're guaranteed an A.

Scott Price is a gem. He truly loves lecturing chemistry and he is extremely concise and coherent. His jokes are nutty and charming and he provides a lot of support before midterms and the final. Wonderful guy.
