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.

One of the best instructors I've ever had. Previously took this class with a different prof and failed it, but got a B+ with Price. I absolutely loved the way he taught the material, and made sure to explain everything as much as he possibly could. He also had online videos of the lecture if you missed class or just want to review. A1 guy.

If you're taking Gen. Chem, take Price! Offers two different grading options for students, which means ALEKS can be optional. Practice exams are very similar to the actual exams. Didn't have to attend one lecture as he provides his video lectures from quarantine. Awesome lecturer, down-to-earth, and makes things super easy to understand. The GOAT.

An awesome professor that engages with the classroom. Online material so that you can catch up on anything missed. He lets you choose if you do homework or not but be warned, everything else is graded on tests.

Scott Price is one of the most amazing professors I have had so far. He is so caring about his students and very passionate about what he is teaching which makes his lectures easy to follow. If you have a chance to take the chem series with him, DO IT because if you work hard and drill the practice exams he gives for the midterms, you will pass.

Dr. Price is an amazing professor and I have only positive things to say about him! His lectures are very engaging and he explains all the course material very clearly. Even though the class is difficult and requires you to put in work and time, the material is very manageable. Price has made me love chemistry after taking it this quarter for 1B.

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.

Price was definitely my favorite professor in the gen chem series (I had different ones for each chem class). he's very clear and concise with his explanations and his tests were not too overly difficult. loved his class!

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

1B is not difficult to understand but easy to mess up. However, he maximizes your grade - such as dropping the lowest/missing midterm score, so you will still do well if you do the work. I liked his neat, step-by-step teaching style and online videos. Everything he wanted from us was clear. ALEKS is optional, but it buffers your grade.

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.
