Amazing Professor! Explains concepts at least three different ways, so you can understand it. He gave an outline or a study plan for the final and gives super helpful studying tips. There are so many practice tests available. Honestly, I can say nothing bad about him.
In-depth lectures, gives step-by-step explanations. Very passionate and wants you to succeed, 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and 1 final. People are always at his office hours, so he's very approachable and helpful. Has cool demonstrations and has midterm & final reviews.
Dr. Price really knows his stuff. His ability to explain complex concepts in simple words is a gift. As long as you do everything he tells you, you can get an A. It's all hard work and patience. There is no such thing as luck. You can do it!
He's an amazing lecturer who is always clear and coherent. He's super good-looking for a professor so in lecture, I mostly just think of all the things I'd do to him outta class. STUDY HARD if you're not good at chemistry.
Price was adorable. He was approachable and had a great sense of humor. Of course, Price was also an excellent professor. He presented the material simply, and he often did demonstrations in class. His blackboards were ridiculously clear. Prices exams accurately tested for understanding, so if you learn the material and study, you'll do just fine.
A professor who wants all his students to succeed. His lectures are extremely clear and informative in the most concise way. Most of the questions that arose in my head as he was teaching the material were successively clarified moments after he finishes addressing the concept. He knows the questions and points of confusions students might have.
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.
best professor I have had at UCSB. He is very clear in his lectures and tries to engage students. Highly recommend taking him for the CHEM 1 series. I had him for all three, but did the best in 1C. Tests can be tricky! So, go to office hours, review sessions, and do recommend book problems and practice exams and you should be fine
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.
Great lectures. I think he really tries to organize his lectures in a way to help every type of learner. Very cool person. Great professor.

He posts recommended book problems from the 7th and 6th edition. I repeat : HE POSTS BOOK PROBLEMS FROM THE 6TH EDITION!!! SAVE YOURSELF SOME MONEY AND BUY THE SECOND TO NEWEST BOOK EDITION AND YOU WILL DO JUST AS WELL IN THE CLASS! Great professor, explains concepts in a way you understand. Best professor in chem, take him if you can.
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.
Professor Price is a beautiful life saver. Very passionate teacher and very knowledgable. Go to office hours, he's super helpful and approachable (its when you see his enthusiasm for chemistry the most). Best professor I've had at UCSB!
What an amazing man and teacher. I flunked out of 1A the first time I took it and got a C the second time, so it is safe to say chemistry is not my best subject. However, Price makes the information easy to understand, I actually wanted to go to lecture! Very welcoming and helpful. You MUST take him for Chem 1B.
Dr. Price is a great great great professor. He genuinely wants to see you succeed and is probably the most approachable professor I've ever met. He makes his lectures interesting by sometimes doing cool experiments during class. Definitely take this professor you will learn to love the material.
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.
Price is the best chem professor out of them all. You can tell he is passionate about teaching & chemistry. He is always professional, clear, concise, & sometimes really funny. I have a hard time with chem but he really helped me understand the material. He's super nice & approachable. I wish I could have had him every quarter for gen chem!
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!
