Great professor! Only good things to say, and I wish I could take him for the entire gen chem series! Very clear and organized, and has many tools and tips on how to succeed in his class. Great lecturer but also very accessible outside of class. Do the practice problems and practice exams because they are exactly like the midterms and final.

One of the best professors I've had at UCSB. Broke down difficult concepts well so definitely go to lectures. Make sure to do all the ALEKS or else your grade is entirely your test scores. I only ever studied practice exams (didn't do book problems) and still did well on the midterms/final. Warning: final was much harder than midterms.

Price is an amazing lecturer and overall funny guy! He grades the course using two different methods and uses whichever gives you the higher score. For all you ALEKS haters, this means that it is optional, but it does boost your grade if you bomb the exams. My advice for passing this class is to do ALL the book problems & practice exams (NO JOKE)

Great guy, posted lectures online, grading was tough but fair for a weeder class and curve seemed to help people. Posted plenty of practice problems and exams with the same question formats on the midterm. Seems like the best chem 1b teacher.

He is everything he is perfect I would do anything for this man. The most organized professor ever. Do not take any other professor. He makes a really really challenging class doable. You will regret not taking price. Final was lowkey insane tho

I LOVE THIS MAN. The best professor I've ever had. He made me ENJOY chemistry! I looked forward to class because his lectures are so helpful and he makes it so easy to understand. He provides so many practice tests for each exam and has videos on canvas of old lectures. He's the best ever and I'm going to miss him. DON'T TAKE CHEM W ANYONE ELSE!!!

Best chem prof. I like him as a person and he was accessible during office hours and helpful. The class was insanely hard but all of chem is. He dives into more difficult problems during lecture rather than the simplest version so you know what to do. The final was really hard though and not relevant to the midterms. I'm going to miss my man ;(

Great professor with clear lectures. Chemistry has never made so much sense until now. It's still a lot of hard work, go to lectures (even though attendance isn't graded) and do the book problems and ALEKS (which is also optional) in order to do well in the class. Price is definitely one of the best in the chemistry department.

BEST GEN CHEM PROFESSOR!! On the days he would wear a suit to lecture my friend and I would call him "Mr. President" lol. I had Price for Chem 1B and C and he's a get professor. He posts a lot of practice tests and you can watch his online lectures from covid which are both so helpful for the tests. Practice problems are key!!!

I LOVE THIS MAN HE IS MY ICON. He made learning chem easy, his lectures are great he literally writes out the problem with you and writes out his reasoning/steps. He also posts 5 different versions of past exams with solutions. Only annoying thing is he does not copy and paste a problem from a practice exam and put it on the real exam (iykyk)

I love Price, he serves and slays. His lectures are very organized and you can tell he truly cares about his students' success. If you have to suffer through chem at least suffer with a goat.

Price is one of, if not the most organized professors I have ever taken. He makes the chem topics so much clearer and spreads the content evenly across the quarter making the class feel way less rushed then what I've previously experienced. 100/10 recommend, even if you have to wait a quarter for him to teach it.

he is AMAZING! definitely has very fast lectures, so if it helps you i would recommend writing out the notes pre-lecture and leaving space to work out the example problems he does in class. you have two grading options for your grade DO ALEKS! it is a good cushion in case you don't do well on exams.1b is harder than 1a, price makes it seem easy.

Homework is optional. The grade is 2 tests and final, and homework if you choose. Amazing professor- I doubt I will experience his level of organization during lectures again. Hands down the best professor for Gen Chem at UCSB. He starts the sequence one quarter behind normal though, so 1A starts winter qr. Take Dr. Price for chem, he is amazing!

I am in love with Professor Price. I wish I could retake the gen chem series just to see him

i had prof price for chem 1a and 1b, and i highly recommend. 1b has the reputation of being the hardest in the gen chem series, but with prof price, i was able to do much better than i had expected to. make sure to really know the practice midterms, as the tests are very similar. if you want to do really good, do the practice problems!

Professor Price is amazing. His class is fast paced, and it took a couple of weeks to get used to his speedy lectures (took Sylvester's for 1A and her class wasn't as fast-paced). However, his explanations and lecture notes alone will get you through this class. All the topics were so easy to understand.

One of the best instructors I've ever had. Previously took this class with a different prof and failed it, but got a B+ with Price. I absolutely loved the way he taught the material, and made sure to explain everything as much as he possibly could. He also had online videos of the lecture if you missed class or just want to review. A1 guy.

If you're taking Gen. Chem, take Price! Offers two different grading options for students, which means ALEKS can be optional. Practice exams are very similar to the actual exams. Didn't have to attend one lecture as he provides his video lectures from quarantine. Awesome lecturer, down-to-earth, and makes things super easy to understand. The GOAT.

An awesome professor that engages with the classroom. Online material so that you can catch up on anything missed. He lets you choose if you do homework or not but be warned, everything else is graded on tests.

Scott Price is one of the most amazing professors I have had so far. He is so caring about his students and very passionate about what he is teaching which makes his lectures easy to follow. If you have a chance to take the chem series with him, DO IT because if you work hard and drill the practice exams he gives for the midterms, you will pass.

Dr. Price is an amazing professor and I have only positive things to say about him! His lectures are very engaging and he explains all the course material very clearly. Even though the class is difficult and requires you to put in work and time, the material is very manageable. Price has made me love chemistry after taking it this quarter for 1B.

Price was definitely my favorite professor in the gen chem series (I had different ones for each chem class). he's very clear and concise with his explanations and his tests were not too overly difficult. loved his class!

Literally the best professor I have had. If you have the option, take Price for CHEM 1A/B/C (I had him for all three). Exams are definitely difficult but very similar to practice exams. Textbook problems are extremely helpful in understanding the material. Overall, great professor. This class made me enjoy chemistry.
