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)
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.
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.
Brotha is the best prof ever. He genuinely teaches and answers every question. RESPECT. if u don't take him u are doing yourself a huge disservice.
I am in love with Professor Price. I wish I could retake the gen chem series just to see him
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.
Great all around. Very organized, fair, and engaging.
I struggled a lot in Gen chem and actually had to retake chem 1B, but I retook it with Price and got an A! I took 1C with him as well and also got an A! He breaks down the material in a way that makes it really easy to understand and answers emails almost immediately. He is always willing to help and wants you to succeeded!
I literally love this man. He is so clear and his tests are fair and similar to his practice tests and problems from his slides. Chem 1C with my prof from last year was literally impossible, and I gave it my all and still got a D. He is the best gen chem prof I have had, definitely worth it to take his class.
Literally the best professor I have ever taken at ucsb! If you have to take chem take his classes!! Best ever.
His lectures made everything very clear and easy to follow. His practice tests were very similar to what his actual tests were like. As long as you are willing to put in the time to do the homework and do the optional textbook problems and actually study, he is a great teacher and his class is not too difficult.
Barely got through his class, but he was a great prof and definitely the best one I had when taking the gen chem series.
take him you wont regret it :)
Price makes lectures super accessible online and I recommend reviewing content and example questions through his online lectures. However the tests, especially the final, are significantly harder than expected based on lecture content. The tests go way more in depth than we do in class and I have always needed outside help. Great prof, hard class
