His lectures keep you engaged and are very organized. He is really helpful during office hours and the class isn't too hard if you study a little bit every day. Price is such a fun teacher and makes class fun
Price genuinely cares about his students and lectures extremely clearly. He is definitely the best of the 1A professors, so everyone will try for him and his lecture fills up fast. Although his teaching is very good, he cannot pass the class for you. You will still need to do all of your homework, book problems, and practice tests to do well.
Awesome prof! Lives up to hype, but admittedly his tests are a lot harder than his lectures make them seem. He does post previous quiz/midterm/final so take advantage and practice off those. iclicker replaces lower quiz & final replaces lower midterm so even if you mess if in beginning, you can do well. Just study & put in work. Take if u can!
Incredible teaching style - concise powerpoint slides and doesn't include superfluous info on his slides like what most professors tend to do. Tells you exactly what you have to know. made chemistry very easy to understand and uses a lot of analogies that make very difficult concepts easier to understand.
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.
Daddy Price is a beast of a man. I highly recommend taking at least one of the gen chem series with him. He makes his lectures interesting and does more demos than any professor. He also does multiple exam reviews for every exam in the quarter. His tests arent too difficult, but they will test your knowledge. You can't not love Daddy Price.
The best chem professor at ucsb by far. Yes, his tests are quite difficult and it is easy to fall behind, but if you're on top of it, Price will give you all the tools necessary to pass. CHOOSE PRICE OR YOU'RE ROLLING THE DICE.
Dr. Price is absolutely amazing, his lectures are like the highlights of my day. He makes his lectures very easy to understand and follow, posts his PowerPoint slides online for you to follow. As long as you attend his lectures, you are pretty much guarantee to pass. He has practice tests for each of his tests online.
Dr. Price is the man. Definitely recommend him if you need to take the Chem 1 series. He is a great lecturer, and is SO willing to help. I was in his office hours a few days before the final exam, and he stayed an extra 2 and a half hours just to help all the students in his office. That being said, still not an easy class. You have to work HARD.
Price is a really engaging professor. You can really tell he cares about teaching and the subject itself. You have to do the book problems as they commonly will reappear on the quizzes and midterms just slightly altered. Take advantage of office hours, practice problems posted on the slides of the lectures, and review sessions.
Very clear instruction. Friendly. Couldn't ask for a better professor. However, exams have somewhat convoluted/tricky questions that require a great knowledge and deeper understanding of the material. Don't take the resources/practice problems for granted: iClicker, lecture, textbook, previous exams.
Price's 1A class is tough if you aren't already familiar with chemistry. Keep up with the ALEKs homework as it helps you relate topics together for tests. For all tests, he expects you to take what you learned, and combine multiple ideas to find the answer. He is still a great teacher, and very helpful, both in class and in office hours.
super chill guy. Basically everything you need to know for the tests are either in the book, past tests, or notes/aleks. There really isn't any surprises just do the work, pay attention and you'll be fine. grading isn't too strict either on the tests, he gives out partial credit on the tests for commonly missed questions.
Scott is an awesome person! Very personable and wants his students to well. Had him as a lab teacher at SBCC and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else as a teacher.
Price is the best chemistry teacher around. He teaches exactly what he expects you to know for the midterms and final. Go to all the lectures, do your Aleks, and if your struggling sign up for CLAS. He's also funny and approachable. So thankful he was my professor. He really cares.
He's one of the only professors I've had that genuinely cares about their students. Very approachable and very good at explaining complex topics.
OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR! Always entertaining demos and great teacher. He always encourages students to ask him for help when needed. Prepares you excellently for exams and quizzes. He teaches Chem 1A and Chem 1B. I almost cried when I found out that he doesn't teach Chem 1C.
I had Price for 1A and 1B. He is really passionate in teaching chemistry, his lectures are clear and easy to follow. He posts his lecture slides online before class. 2 Quizzes, 2 Midterms and a Final. iclicker replaces lowest quiz and Final replace lowest midterm. Tests are somehow tricky but overall great professor! Highly recommended!
I had Price for Chem 1A and 1B and he is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. Very helpful, clear in lectures, encourages students to study hard and do well, and he likes to entertain us too with awesome demos. I've never heard someone who doesn't like him and he is so passionate about chemistry that it brings a smile to your face
If you have to take chem, Scott will be your best bet. I personally just struggled with the topic of chemistry, which led me to barely pass. But I know that had I gotten any other teacher, I would have failed for sure. Out of all the chem teachers he is the easiest and I found his lectures very clear and well organized.
Dr. Price is honestly the best professor ever. His lectures are super clear, and his demonstrations are super cool. Though I didn't get the best grade this quarter, an A is definitely feasible. He gives plenty of opportunities to replace bad grades, as he replaces a quiz and even a midterm. Gives partial credit on multiple choice exams too!
If you study the way he tells you to and stay on top of things from the beginning, you will be fine. Don't fall behind, its hard to catch up.
I love Professor Price dearly. He is probably one of the best educators I have ever has the privilege to cross path with. He will spend as many time as needed to explain a concept to you at his office hours and he is so good at explaining concepts too. His lectures are amazing, both entertaining and extremely helpful.
Amazing teacher. Just all around fantastic.
