Scott is a great professor. Very clear lectures, cares about student and makes an effort for everybody to learn. I would take him for all my chem classes if he taught them all. You wont regret taking this class with him
Dr. Price is one of the best genchem profs! He makes lots of relatable jokes to help understand the material, is super caring, and really loves his job and his students. Cannot recommend him more. As long as you go to class and do the practice tests you should get a good grade in the class. Grade is 2 MTs, final, ALEKS, and iClicker.
Great lecturer. Clearly, thoroughly, and quickly explains the problems and how to solve them. Probably the best chem teacher here, he just know what he's doing and can help you know what you're doing. Also a pretty rad dude besides that. take him
Easily one of the best gen chem professors. This class can be really tough, especially for the first 4 weeks so make sure you do the practice exams and book problems. His lectures are certainly worth going to so don't be tempted to skip them.
Take as much of gen chem with Price as you can, he's just the best. Really straight forward, helpful explanations. I didn't understand chemistry at all until I had him for 1B. Love his sense of humor too. Gem of a man.
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.
Interesting and funny guy in lecture. The best of the Gen Chem profs in my opinion. Do the book problems and the practice quizzes/exams. The textbook is really only for the book problems. He makes things very clear and posts lectures before class online. Definitely recommend.
I barely passed Chem 1A & failed Chem 1B the first time when both were taken with a different professor, but when I took 1B with Price everything was so easy! He explains everything so in detail, really tries to make examples super easy for students to understand, and shows cool demos that keep the class engaged. 10/10 recommend Prof. Price!!
Scott is awesome. He's very accommodating to a student's needs if you have special ones, just go to his office hours. He's super helpful during office hours if you need to go over coursework but also just a really cool guy to talk to. He does little experiments in relation to the material which are always fun and goofy and he gives grading options.
A wonderful professor! Really cares about the class and is very good at making chemistry something that everyone can understand. Funny and gives many demonstrations and everyday life examples.
Professor Scott is THE MAN. He is just an amazing professor. He is passionate about what he does and he clearly loves teaching. He makes jokes in class, uses great analogies to explain difficult concepts, and does super cool demos. Also, he gives revision sessions before exams. And a bonus point, he is super super cute!
Best chem professor at UCSB! Would definitely take his class again! Super passionate about teaching, really cares about his students, and does many demos to visually reinforce concepts and makes class super fun and engaging. Clear and excellent at explaining difficult concepts to students in the most concise way. BEST ALL AROUND quality professor!
Amazing Professor! Explains concepts at least three different ways, so you can understand it. He gave an outline or a study plan for the final and gives super helpful studying tips. There are so many practice tests available. Honestly, I can say nothing bad about him.
In-depth lectures, gives step-by-step explanations. Very passionate and wants you to succeed, 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and 1 final. People are always at his office hours, so he's very approachable and helpful. Has cool demonstrations and has midterm & final reviews.
Dr. Price really knows his stuff. His ability to explain complex concepts in simple words is a gift. As long as you do everything he tells you, you can get an A. It's all hard work and patience. There is no such thing as luck. You can do it!
He's an amazing lecturer who is always clear and coherent. He's super good-looking for a professor so in lecture, I mostly just think of all the things I'd do to him outta class. STUDY HARD if you're not good at chemistry.
Price was adorable. He was approachable and had a great sense of humor. Of course, Price was also an excellent professor. He presented the material simply, and he often did demonstrations in class. His blackboards were ridiculously clear. Prices exams accurately tested for understanding, so if you learn the material and study, you'll do just fine.
A professor who wants all his students to succeed. His lectures are extremely clear and informative in the most concise way. Most of the questions that arose in my head as he was teaching the material were successively clarified moments after he finishes addressing the concept. He knows the questions and points of confusions students might have.
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
Great lectures. I think he really tries to organize his lectures in a way to help every type of learner. Very cool person. Great professor.

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.
Professor Price is a beautiful life saver. Very passionate teacher and very knowledgable. Go to office hours, he's super helpful and approachable (its when you see his enthusiasm for chemistry the most). Best professor I've had at UCSB!
What an amazing man and teacher. I flunked out of 1A the first time I took it and got a C the second time, so it is safe to say chemistry is not my best subject. However, Price makes the information easy to understand, I actually wanted to go to lecture! Very welcoming and helpful. You MUST take him for Chem 1B.
Dr. Price is a great great great professor. He genuinely wants to see you succeed and is probably the most approachable professor I've ever met. He makes his lectures interesting by sometimes doing cool experiments during class. Definitely take this professor you will learn to love the material.
