His lectures actually make sense- he explains things in a way that's easy to understand even with not much chem background. Midterms were reasonable(assuming you do book problems/practice tests) but final was much tougher(included types of problems not practiced before so you had to be pretty comfortable with the content). Overall highly recommend!
ayo the final was bad ayo
love the guy but the final was way harder than any of our other tests.. wish he had given us practice tests that were more similar to the final because the practice tests he had given were hella easy.
easy A , do the assigned textbook problems and you will ace every midterm. ALEKS is time consumable but helps with your overall understanding of the course. lectures are informative and easy to follow; never had to read the chapters from the textbook to fully understand the concepts
I think Price is one of the best professors for Chem 1A. His lectures are really clear and easy to understand and he incorporates examples that really secure your understanding. He tries to make funny jokes and pop culture references in his lectures and he's an overall great guy. There are 3 midterms and you can drop the lowest which is really nice
Im not the best at chem, but Prof. Price is an amazing lecturer and made concepts easy to understand. He explains everything clearly, and does some examples throughout lectures to make sure you know how to apply certain concepts. Tests are fair, similar to practice exams he puts out. Do the textbook problems for practice, and dont fall behind.
I took the entire gen chem series with Price (both in person then online) and was only able to pass when he was the professor. Lectures are very clear and organized. His explanations are super detailed and thorough (which I needed). Chem is never easy but 10/10 take any chem with him if you have the chance!
I took this class after almost failing with a different prof, and this man is the reason I understand chemistry. Lectures are simple and easy to understand, always available to ask questions. Really cares about his students and loves teaching and you can tell he enjoys what he does. If I had had him as my first chem prof, I wouldve stayed in stem.
VERY good at his job, he is an amazing professor and does a few in-class demonstrations in order to help students visualize the concepts he is teaching. He is very passionate about his work and is thorough when teaching. I did terrible in high school chemistry but aced his class!
Daddy price is literally a chem god. Hes the best gen chem professor by FAR. I had him for 1A in person and 1B online (due to COVID-19), and there honestly wasnt much of a difference in how thorough his lectures were. He cares about his students, and wants to see them do well. Dont slack on the book work! A lot of exam questions come from there.
I had him for 1A/1B and got A's in both. He's an amazing lecturer. Adapted very well to online. This quarter however there was a HUGE curve - an entire letter grade up - but don't expect that to be the norm. The thing that makes the class hard is the tests b/c they're short on time. Study practice tests and book problems. ALEKS not that helpful.
love this guy, definitely recommend him
Chem is hard, Price makes it manageable. Explains things in ways that make them easy to understand. Hoping to get him again for 1C
He is great! He really wants to provide help for students who struggled with the course and explains materials well!
Price is an amazing teacher! I took chem1A with Joseph and got a D, but got an A- with Price. He thoroughly explains every concept and his lectures are easy to follow. He also does multiple example problems/calculations so you know what to expect on exams. Just go to class and take all the practice quizzes/exams and you will pass!
Attendance is not mandatory, but if you don't show up you're gonna have a hard time. I absolutely love Price and I genuinely think that he's the best chem professor. He's very organized and clear. He even sends out emails after lecture that gives you a summary of the lecture, review questions, recommended book problems, how to prepare for tests
His lectures are easy and clear to be understood, and he can explain the concepts pretty well. The exams are easy as well, and you can get a great grade by attending classes, doing homework, and doing practice exams. I am taking CHEM 1B right now but with another professor, who makes me miss Prof. Price sooooo much!
Price is as amazing as everyone says he is. He gives incredibly thorough lectures and is clear about what he expects from you in order to succeed in his class. DO THE TEXTBOOK PROBLEMS if you want to get a good grade.
Good guy, he puts book problems on the tests so do them! His midterms and final are VERY hard, almost like he wants to trick you... even with the practice tests they are hard because they combine several concepts. Do ALEKS and CLICK - it replaces a low grade. Lecture/Note heavy- covered a whole year of high school chem in 10 weeks.
Price was my most organized and prepared professor. Before and after each lecture he sent an email what we went over in class and what we should practice and do on our own. If you do everything he says in the emails, it will help you a lot in the class.
Great professor! His lectures are amazing and hes super nice and helpful during office hours. His exams are a bit on the difficult side, but he offers practice exams online so those help a lot! Definitely do the book problems for extra practice or do CLAS.
Price's test and quiz questions are too tricky. It is almost meant to set you up for failure by purposefully confusing you. Having taken Price for Chem 1a before and failing with a 39%, then passing with a 96% with Joseph, the obvious difference to me is that Price does not care if you fail the course but Joseph is genuine and wants you to succeed.
Midterms can be hard but theyre not too bad if you do the book problems, finals are a RIP tho. Hes a really good lecturer, theres not really anything I can think of that he could do better. He can be intimidating tho when talking one on one
Great lecturer, tests were definitely harder than expected however if you do all the book problems and aleks you should be good to go. GO TO OFFICE HOURS.
