Price tries his best to make the lectures interesting, and will never make you feel dumb when you're asking a dumb question. He genuinely cares about his students and always holds review sessions before each midterm and final. What a guy man what a guy.

There's a reason he received an award for best lecturer this quarter. Price literally goes above and beyond with every lecture, pulling in references to all sorts of pop culture to help you understand the concepts. Even if you can't go to office hours (which I recommend you do) shoot him an email and he'll help you out. STUDY PRACTICE EXAMS!!

What an amazing human!! He's a great professor, and makes a difficult subject a lot easier than it could be. He's kind, and super awkward, but it's really sweet. I'd take another class with him any day.

Scott Price is a good lecturer but his voice is very monotone that it makes me want to fall asleep. I don't get what the big hype about him is, his lectures are equally as good as Joseph's but i prefer Joseph. His quizzes and midterms are not as difficult if you understand the concept behind the material and if you focus on the practice exams.

This class is extremely difficult. If you put in the effort and do all of the book problems you will be able to pass. The curve is pretty big. He is a great lecturer and keeps each lecture interesting.

I'm terrible at chemistry and only needed the first two courses in the series for my major, but I would not have taken 1A and 1B with anyone else. His lectures were clear and well-organized, and he explained things well. Biggest regret was not doing the book problems, or else I probably would've done better. Take the whole series with Price.

I have to say that Price was a solid choice for Chem 1B. He relies heavily on the book problems, which is easy to fall behind in. Quizzes and midterms were fairly straightforward, with 3-6 difficult problems. The final exam is brutal and is nothing like the practice final, BEWARE! Demos are really cool and interesting.

AMAZING professor. You can easily see that he is passionate about what he does. He cares about his students and really wants them to do well. I went to every single lecture because it was worth it. His in-class examples and demos are really interesting and helpful. He also his a witty and dry sense of humor. Go to CLAS and do practice exams!!!

Awesome professor, you can tell he loves teaching this class. I got 100% on both quizzes so I stopped going to class since iClicker replaces quizzes, and ended up screwing myself over because I did not understand most of the topics that I missed. Go to class and do all the practice problems and you will pass.

Price is a fantastic professor worthy of the hype he gets. Tbh, he's not cheerful like I imagined him to be, but you can tell he loves what he does. Every once in a while he'll crack a joke. His demos are super cool. He truly knows how to lecture and convey information in a clear and understandable way. If you have the choice, take him.

Price is easily one of the best lectures for the Gen Chem series. He obviously cares about helping his students do well and gives you the resources to succeed. Like all the classes in the series, your grade depends on the work you put in. If you take the time to learn the concepts and do practice exams, you're guaranteed an A.

Scott Price is a gem. He truly loves lecturing chemistry and he is extremely concise and coherent. His jokes are nutty and charming and he provides a lot of support before midterms and the final. Wonderful guy.

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.

Price is truly, absolutely, and genuinely incredible. He delivers the most amazing lectures and the experiments he does in class are DOPE. He's very helpful during office hours and truly does want every student to succeed in his class. You do have to put in effort to earn a good grade, but it's all worth it in the end. Honestly amazing professor.

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.

PRICE IS THE BEST CHEM TEACHER! I had him for 1A and 1B. He posts lectures online but go to class because he works all problems out very clearly and explains as he goes. Do the practice tests for tests and as if you stay on top of the book problems in every email that he sends out, the class will be way easier, you just have to put in the work

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 love him, he genuinely cares about your grade and you doing well in the class. His office hours are usually crowded. He holds review sessions before every exam and the final. As long as you attend lecture and write down whatever he writes on the board, you should be fine. His previous exams/quizzes are good examples of what will be on the exams.

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.
