This dude was so good at adapting to online classes. Apparently he's planning on using the same tech to record lectures in the future so you'll be able to rewatch anything you missed or didn't understand. Chem is hard, Price is amazing, curve is fat.

love this guy, definitely recommend him

I took Price for 1B and 1C, and he is a good, engaging lecturer! The material though is really difficult so you must push yourself to get a good grade!

Chem is hard, Price makes it manageable. Explains things in ways that make them easy to understand. Hoping to get him again for 1C

Price is a fantastic professor for the chem 1 series. It's obvious he genuinely enjoys teaching and tries extremely hard to make his lectures as concise and informative as possible. While I had Price for 1A and 1B, 1B was online due to coronavirus. He's KILLING IT. The only professor to transition well, and honestly he's done it seamlessly. 10/10

Literally just don't take any other professor for gen chem

price is extremely prepared for every lecture, and everything in the class is very structured. He tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed, and if you do it you can surely get an A. DO THE BOOK PROBLEMS UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. He makes everything really simple and easy to understand. I love how clear he is. Really a 10/10 lecturer.

probably the best professor ive has at UCSB so far. he makes sure everyone understands his examples and answers any questions during lecture! tests are not the easiest but its chem sooo its expected. made lectures bearable and fun! would highly recommend taking him for genchem series!! :-)

Outstanding professor who has great talent in lecturing. I despised chemistry and had zero interest in the subject matter, and yet I was blown away at how crispy some of professor Price's lectures were. He means business and does not mess around. His review sessions were quite appreciated (very generous with time), but the exams were rather hard.

He is the most amazing professor, it shows that he really cares about students and tries to answer questions throughly. He makes the material much easier to understand compared to other professors who teach the subject. Best all around!

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.

Professor Price is a really good Lecturer. I understood all the examples he'd go over and the concepts of each chapter. His Midterms and Final were very hard. He just seems to make his tests no where near as similar as the practice versions so study the book problems. Other than that he was a good professor.

Scott is great and very clear. He provides weekend review sessions and multiple office hours. He gives tips on how to succeed in his class. He is an awesome teacher that makes gen chem as fun as it can be. His final exam for 1B is known for being hard; the one I took was conceptual rather than calculation heavy which varied from the other exams.

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

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!

He's really good at explaining concepts and his tests are fair

Professor Price is the best professor at UCSB

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.
