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.

Homework is optional. The grade is 2 tests and final, and homework if you choose. Amazing professor- I doubt I will experience his level of organization during lectures again. Hands down the best professor for Gen Chem at UCSB. He starts the sequence one quarter behind normal though, so 1A starts winter qr. Take Dr. Price for chem, he is amazing!

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.

Price is the best chem professor by far. He is so awesome I couldn't recommend him enough!!

I am in love with Professor Price. I wish I could retake the gen chem series just to see him

i had prof price for chem 1a and 1b, and i highly recommend. 1b has the reputation of being the hardest in the gen chem series, but with prof price, i was able to do much better than i had expected to. make sure to really know the practice midterms, as the tests are very similar. if you want to do really good, do the practice problems!

Professor Price is amazing. His class is fast paced, and it took a couple of weeks to get used to his speedy lectures (took Sylvester's for 1A and her class wasn't as fast-paced). However, his explanations and lecture notes alone will get you through this class. All the topics were so easy to understand.
