Good guy and good professor, he is a really nice person and probably the nicest Ucsb professor that exists, however his exams are beyond impossibly difficult and most of the time he lectures at too fast of pace which confuses the class overall amazing professor he just needs to slow down the speed of his lectures A+++
Beautiful man & amazing teacher. Best chemistry teacher by far.
He's very funny although he does make the same jokes a lot. He makes chem a fun class to attend and I love his accent. Chem 1AB were very doable with Scott.
Scott is by far one of the best teachers I have had at UCSB. He's very approachable and I would definitely recommend learning chemistry from him. Anyone who didn't learn general chem from this man was missing out but he only teaches chem 1a and 1b. His tests are very fair so whatever work you put in is what grade you will get.
Best Chem 1B professor by far. His lectures are engaging, online homework (ALEKS) isn't terrible and is less than the other Chem 1B professors, and he's definitely willing to help you if you need it, he even stays extra for office hours and has lots of last minute office hours during finals to help out students. Definitely take Price!
Incredible teacher! GO TO OFFICE HOURS. Bumped my grade because he knew how hard i worked in his class. Great guy.
Price is an amazing chem professor. He's hilarious, knows his stuff, and makes going to lecture fun.
Price is the best professor I've had at UCSB so far. This guy knows how to teach college students and WANTS you to learn and do well in his class. His tests are completely fair and your success in his class is purely based on the effort you put into it. I would sign up for Price even if it had to be an 8am, and that's saying something.
Price was my FAVORITE professor! He made Chemistry easy to understand and super fun! He does a lot of awesome demos and he even dressed up during Halloween. I would highly recommend him for general chemistry and I would advise to go to as many of his office hours as possible. That's the only thing I regret. His lectures are really helpful too!
Best professor I have had a UCSB. He is extremely helpful if you go to office hours and show an effort in the class. As long as you put in the work and follow his suggestions on how to study for the class, you are set. His tests are tricky, however if you go to lecture and do the book problems and truly understand the material you will be fine.
I had Price for Chem 1A and Chem 1B. He is an amazing, wonderful professor. Although the concepts for Chem 1B can be harder with thermochemistry, as long as you do textbook problems for additional practice, you should be fine. His exams and quizzes are fairly similar to his released examsquizzes. His office hours are helpful.
Super clear and organized, even though the material itself was really tough. The tests are really hard because they're tricky, with the answer choices being answers that you could potentially get it you forget 1 step (and these are multi-step problems!). He's a nice guy, though, and dropped the final assessment on aleks! And he's SUPER HOT.
Dr Price is amazing. He is very helpful. It is so much fun to go to his office hour.
Price is an extremely helpful teacher. Had him for both Chem 1A and 1B. It is possible to do well in his class if you follow his study recommendations. Can't say enough good things about him! Learning chemistry is hard, but he made it manageable. Very fair grading.
Gives you a chance for redemption with dropping ur lowest Aleks, replacing lowest quiz with iclicker, and replacing lowest midterm with the final. Chemistry requires certain minds to understand it and it just did not process for me. Barely passed with a C.
Chemistry was super hard for me. He spent most of class lecturing concepts that I could have easily read out of the textbook. With a subject like chemistry I think it is important to work through multiple practice problems, he would do one per lecture. I failed this class in the Fall and retook it in the Spring with another professor and passed.
I love him! Your final replaces your lowest midterm and your kicker replaces your lowest quiz. He walks you through the material throughly and you have Aleks homework! Had him for Chem 1a received a b, and took him again for chem 1b. Favorite professor!
Best Chem professor.
Price did a great job of reviewing the easy half of AP Chemistry during Chem 1A. I found that I did not have to rely on anything more than his lectures to do well. He outlines the problems very explicitly and it is easy to follow along. His mathematical approach to understanding concepts can kind of take some of the fun out of chemistry.
I love Price! His teaching style works so well for me and he's always willing to take questions. He's really funny and engaging so you don't mind paying attention in class. His tests are totally fair and he posts his old quizzes and exams online so you can use them as reference for studying! Absolutely great professor.
HOTTEST PROFESSOR EVER. The material is not hard, once you get it you get an A.
great professor. tough courses but definately not his fault. a lot of the work has to come from the student which is usual. he does his very best and is soooo clear during lecture and makes sure to answer questions clearly before changing a topic. this man knows what he's doing
Price is crystal clear and extremely helpful, so even though attendance is optional, ATTEND CLASS OR YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I attended most of the lectures and paid attention at maybe half of the ones I did attend, and managed to scrape a B. As long as you attend lecture and stay focused the whole time, the class should be an easy A!
By far one of my favorite Chemistry professors! His office hours were always fun to go to. Tests are pretty easy as long as you do all the practice exams and quizzes. If you ever get stuck on one of the practice quizzes or exams, go to office hours! I never read the book, just took notes on lectures and Aleks and i passed with an A.
