Price is a man who is genuinely interested in helping out his students. Do ALL the recommended book problems because he loves putting math problems on the exams. Do all his old practice exams and you'll be fine. He's the absolute best professor I've ever had and I would take his class again in a heartbeat.

Despite the mostly positive reviews, realize that this is a challenging professor. I didn't really apply myself and received a C in 1A, and F in 1B C+ after retaking. Tends to emphasize the most difficult aspects about chemistry on exams. Plan on doing most books problems, past exams posted on gauchospace and taking CLAS to get a B+ and above.

One of the best professors i've ever had, hands down. Demonstrations in class were always interesting and fun. On top of all that, Price knows how to teach to this generation better than anyone else. 11/10 would recommend

Dr. Price was a fantastic professor. If you follow his study plan you should get an A in CHEM 1B. He moves through lecture at a good pace and explains problems and concepts clearly. I got the sense that he really wanted his students to do well in the class. My only complaint is that on the day we had quizzes, he taught new material beforehand.

Very good professor! Extremely helpful and truly cares about all of his students. Very slow in teaching concepts, which is nice. Posts lectures online. Sends out emails before each class telling us what to expect in lecture, practice questions, etc. Do book problems and go to CLAS if you want to do well. It is definitely not an easy class!

Great professor! Awesome demonstrations, explains equations thoroughly, has a sense of humor, but difficult exams. DO THE BOOK PROBLEMS.

Price is a wonderful professor, keeps class interesting and brings in entertaining experiments. Book problems are a MUST to do well on the exams and CLAS complements the class very well. Very approachable professor in office hours and truly cares about his students and their doing well in the class!

Really awesome professor, probably the most organized and clear professor I've ever had. His lectures are very helpful but not mandatory since he uploads all his PPT slides to gauchospace. Take Price if you can!

He is a good lecturer, but he puts up powerpoints online to make it easy to miss class. Tests are comprehensible and are fairly easy if you put time into the class. Very helpful with curving as well.

At first, I was intimidated by Price. After going to his office hours, I realized that he's really nice and helpful. However, you really have to work hard in order to succeed in this class. Do book problems consistently and get help early. Go to CLAS and choose Sarah! She helped me get through Chem 1A and Chem 1B. Attend every lecture (iClicker)

Price is a great professor! The class is difficult for the exams are challenging. However, attending his office hours and doing book problems will help significantly on the exams and especially the final! Definitely take Scott! #priceisright

Take him! Dr. Price sends out emails and keeps the class updated. I was surprised at how organized he was, and it helped me stay on track. He is very helpful, and sincerely wants his students to achieve. Chem 1B was a hard class, but I really enjoyed learning from him. Awesome Professor!

If you have the opportunity to have Scott as your professor, do it. If I ever have a professor who is half as helpful, kind, and caring as him, I would be so grateful. He tries to help everyone and even takes time out of his day to do so. During dead week, he will extend his office hours. He holds review sessions before every exam. Do bookproblems.

His lectures are straight-forward, and at times, entertaining. Tests were reasonably challenging, but if you heed his advice about doing book problems, you will succeed. CLAS and SarahChem are huge assets to reinforce lecture, and they give you good questions that show up on tests. The beginning is tough, but the class gets easier. :)

Really good professor. He sends helpful emails about the book problems you should do and the chapter readings. Do not fall behind in the class! The class starts hard and gets easier so don't give up. Good luck!

Professor Price is a very good teacher. He goes well into detail, but he also paces himself so that he teaches all that we need to learn. He really cares about his students. He is also willing to take time out of his day to make appointments with students who need it. Very nice and sweet; very easy to approach as well. Would definitely recommend.

If you go to office hours to get to know him, it really helps out in terms of learning the material and him remembering you when it comes to grading you on improvement if you're not doing as well as you could. Great professor!

Price is a great guy with a lot to prove in his dept so his final is always unforgivable. It will bring the brightest of students to their knees even if they completely know the subject. I adore him though - he's 100% helpful and his lessons are straight forward. He made what I was told would be the worst class in the gen chem series pretty fun.

He takes care of his students by sending daily emails about the upcoming lectures. He explains everything well in class but his texts are on another level of difficulty. He really makes you work hard. He is also nice during office hours.

Scott Price is one of the best professors I have ever had in my life. He sends a prep email before each lecture, lectures are accessible the day before class, he helps you with tough problems (one-on-one too), his explanations are crystal-clear, and he can explain concepts multiple ways. He is a very nice person, and wants everyone to succeed.

Very enthusiastic, lots of cool demos. Hes very organized for being 27 or so. His lectures are mostly done on the board, so even though he posts his slides online youll want to attend lectures. Hes always trying to help out his students and he wants everyone to do well, which not all teachers do.

Chem 1B the course itself can't be easy. It's the hardest out of the gen-chem series. Yet Price does a great job teaching it. Go to class, listen, and dont forget your iClicker. Very cute demos. He's such a cutie.

Good teacher, clearly tries to imitate the way Kunkel teaches. His tests are mostly fair, although the final did have some curveballs. He's from Chicago, and he has a very slight twang to the way he speaks (also like Kunkel) and it bugs the hell out of me. I doubt other people notice it though (I'm very particular)
