CHEM1B . Price S P 11 Years Ago

Good professor, teaches everything really well. helps you understand everything with actual practice problems. Tests are huge killers. Getting a passing grade on a test pre-curve is rediculous.

He's a pretty good teacher and is really into what he teaches. His chem1a class was pretty easy I guess but his chem1b class was pretty hard. The final was an OVERKILL! There were problems I've never seen before and there were so many long problems. T_T

I would take him again and again and again! His lectures are sometimes a little fast but if you stay on top of it the whole class you will know what he is talking about. Also, his office hours are really helpful. Oh and I don't think I've ever missed a Chemistry class, mostly because of how hot he is.

Makes chemistry a lot of fun, and tries really hard to engage students with the concepts. Office hours aren't the most helpful, but theres only so much he can do when there are 20 students there. Tries to make the exams straightforward too.

Dr. Price is an amazing teacher, he loves chemistry and it really shows when he's teaching! His demos are a good way to break up the class and keep your attention.

Great professor, motivates students to do well in Chem 1B. Has many resources to help you (lectures, past quizzes/exams, etc.) Exams are quite difficult so it's important to study. Keeps lectures entertaining.

Entertaining lecturer, fair grader, fair tests. Attendance not technically mandatory, but he gives iClicker points.

Awesome teacher. Really helpful and funny! Loved the class. Also he wasn't bad to look at either... definitely motivated me to wake up on time for class!

Professor Price makes the tricky content easy to grasp. The lectures are super clear, and the recorded videos are a lifesaver for reviewing. Use the practice exams and unstuckstudy ai - they'll prep you for the tough tests. Just put in the work and an A is very doable.

CHEM1A . Price S P 6 Months Ago

Price is an amazing chem professor and is good at making the difficult content easy to digest. Lectures are very clear and lecture videos are posted online in case you need to go back to review/miss a lecture. Exams can be difficult but are similar to the practice exams given so be sure to utilize those.

Best professor I have ever had and probably will ever have. Tests are hard, ngl, but he gives past practice exams which make them 1000 times easier. Getting a high A is easy to do if some work is put into it.

Professor Price is genuinely the best chem professor here. He is kind and understanding towards his students and just wants them to learn. His teaching is very clear, midterms and final are just like the practice exams. Just make sure to study well, Study, go to office hours, make an effort, you'll be fine.

Price is excellent at giving you every resource available to get through general chemistry. Likely the best choice if you are worried about passing chem.

Gen Chem is just objectively difficult but Dr. Price makes it way more digestible and easy to understand. Lectures are all recorded so attendance isn't mandatory and you can always rewatch to get a better grasp on concepts you don't understand. Take advantage of those and the practice exams and book problems, that's really the only way to get an A.

I am an ADHD student and I have taken twice CHEM1A lessons. I can focus on his lecture most of the time and easily interpret the points. Also, attendance at lectures is not necessary. You can have the lecture videos as effectively as in person with a lot of materials for after-class reviewing and previewing. Exams are all multiple-choice and easy.

Really good professor, the practice exams he gives out saved my life. If you go to lecture and do the work, you will definitely pass with a B or higher.

professor price is definitely the best chemistry professor at ucsb. even though the gen chem series is super difficult and time-consuming, he makes it as digestible as possible. lectures are also posted online!

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.

Dr. Price is an AMAZING chem professor, couldn't ask for anyone better for Chem1a. The material is challenging if you've never taken a chem course before but he made it as easy as possible. Tests are very fair but there's not a lot of questions on them, so make sure to do practice problems and do all of the ALEKS

As much as I hate Chem, Price is an amazing professor. Responds to emails super quick and truly wants the best for his students. Lowest midterm grade is replaced if you get a higher score on the final, so make sure to do the practice problems and exams. Pretty big time frame to do the ALEKS assignments as well.

I got A-, A, B for the Gen Chem series. There's a lot of debate over which prof is best. If you like exam predictability, take Price. Do every practice problem he assigns and you will get an A/B, and this is a weeder class. He treats his students as adults, unlike Joseph. He explains well. This will be harder than any HS class you've ever done.
