The BEST gen chem professor by far. He explains things very well, and the tests are similar to the practice material. You have to PUT IN THE WORK and follow a solid study plan, but he provides you with everything needed to do so.

Price has done much more for me than any of the other chemistry professors. He has very strong lectures that are easy to understand and gives plenty of time to review examples. If you follow his study plan, you WILL succeed. Exams don't differ much in difficulty from practice exams, and he gives good explanations for in person questions.

he explains concepts very clearly, and while the class is hard, it's doable

He really and truly is the goat of the ucsb gen chem series. Notoriously tough course, but Price's lectures are so well constructed for easy comprehension and if you use the study resources he gives, there is really no reason why you shouldn't be able to pass. You don't even need to use them all, he's got something for everyone.

Best instructor at UCSB. Price is understanding, knowledgable, and a great teacher. He goes fast in lecture, so always go over the material outside of class. Three exams and ALEKS chapters due every week. Plenty resources and practice exams on Canvas. Very straightforward in expectations for the course. It was an honor to take Price, he's amazing!

I was able to learn chemistry thoroughly taking Price, hes so smart and nice, daddy of chemistry ❤️

Didn't do well in this class, but I don't blame him at all. I enjoyed how aleks was due at the end of each chapter, instead of every Sunday like other professors. Midterms were fair, but the final was insanely hard. Went to his office hours they were helpful, I wish I took advantage of them more.

Chem 1B is hard in general but Price made it slightly more manageable. I think his explanations of material made a lot more sense to me than previous teachers. ALEKS is optional but can cushion your grade. Practice exams and questions are essential to passing.

Dr. Price is such a goated professor, so clear in his lectures and makes it easy for you to follow along. I would emphasize doing his practice exams and really understanding the book problems. On top of that he's so fine. I would take his last name if he asked me.

Dr. Price is the best professor I have ever had at UCSB, I took the whole GCHEM series with him. This professor actually cares about student success and is always available to help (even if you can't make office hours). I was failing with Abu Omar and excelled with Dr. Price. If all professors were like Dr. Price it would make UCSB a better place.

Price is great at explaining concepts, however he does go pretty fast. I would usually go over notes/rewatch lecture videos to get things I missed in class. If you do all the book problems, practice tests (timed), and ALEKS homework you should be able to succeed. It's important to be able to do the problems fast because midterms are a time crunch.

Price is a great lecturer who made complex concepts in 1B easier to understand. His midterms were very similar to the practice midterms he posted on Canvas. However, I believe his course averages were too high so he made a very difficult final which ended up tanking my grade. Be aware of that final if the averages for the midterms are high!
