CHEM1A . Price S P 2 Months Ago

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.

I love Price, he serves and slays. His lectures are very organized and you can tell he truly cares about his students' success. If you have to suffer through chem at least suffer with a goat.

CHEM1B . Price S P 4 Months Ago

Price is one of, if not the most organized professors I have ever taken. He makes the chem topics so much clearer and spreads the content evenly across the quarter making the class feel way less rushed then what I've previously experienced. 100/10 recommend, even if you have to wait a quarter for him to teach it.

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 5 Months Ago

I was really nervous to go through the chem series, but professor Price seems like by far the best gen chem teacher. His lectures were clear and easy to understand, and the midterms and finals were EXACTLY like his practice midterms. I did less than 5 book problems throughout both of chem 1A and 1B because the practice exams carried me.

1B . Price S P 5 Months Ago

he is AMAZING! definitely has very fast lectures, so if it helps you i would recommend writing out the notes pre-lecture and leaving space to work out the example problems he does in class. you have two grading options for your grade DO ALEKS! it is a good cushion in case you don't do well on exams.1b is harder than 1a, price makes it seem easy.

CHEM1A . Price S P 6 Months Ago

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.

1B . Price S P 6 Months Ago

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!

CHEM1A . Price S P 7 Months Ago

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.

CHEM1A . Price S P 7 Months Ago

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.
