CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Price gives great lectures and are easy to understand, but his tests reflect barely anything that was on the lectures. Failed the class and have to take Chem1A again cuz of Price's tests. His lectures make you think that you know what's going on them the exams really ruin the class. What I learned is that you MUST do the book problems.

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

His lectures actually make sense- he explains things in a way that's easy to understand even with not much chem background. Midterms were reasonable(assuming you do book problems/practice tests) but final was much tougher(included types of problems not practiced before so you had to be pretty comfortable with the content). Overall highly recommend!

CHEM1C . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Price, the man, the myth, the legend. I have never met a professor who strived to put everyone of his students up for success. He regularly emails instructions to prepare for the following lectures and is very detailed oriented. Overall, the course itself was abstract and difficult but he made it quite interesting and put in work to be accomodating

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

love the guy but the final was way harder than any of our other tests.. wish he had given us practice tests that were more similar to the final because the practice tests he had given were hella easy.

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

easy A , do the assigned textbook problems and you will ace every midterm. ALEKS is time consumable but helps with your overall understanding of the course. lectures are informative and easy to follow; never had to read the chapters from the textbook to fully understand the concepts

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

I think Price is one of the best professors for Chem 1A. His lectures are really clear and easy to understand and he incorporates examples that really secure your understanding. He tries to make funny jokes and pop culture references in his lectures and he's an overall great guy. There are 3 midterms and you can drop the lowest which is really nice

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Im not the best at chem, but Prof. Price is an amazing lecturer and made concepts easy to understand. He explains everything clearly, and does some examples throughout lectures to make sure you know how to apply certain concepts. Tests are fair, similar to practice exams he puts out. Do the textbook problems for practice, and dont fall behind.

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

I took the entire gen chem series with Price (both in person then online) and was only able to pass when he was the professor. Lectures are very clear and organized. His explanations are super detailed and thorough (which I needed). Chem is never easy but 10/10 take any chem with him if you have the chance!

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

I took this class after almost failing with a different prof, and this man is the reason I understand chemistry. Lectures are simple and easy to understand, always available to ask questions. Really cares about his students and loves teaching and you can tell he enjoys what he does. If I had had him as my first chem prof, I wouldve stayed in stem.

CHEM1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Took 1B with Price after failing it once before with another prof, and did significantly better. He just explains everything in such a simple way and makes sure to cover plenty of examples in class. His tests are also fair, whereas others I feel make the tests significantly more challenging than what is even discussed in lecture. Def take Price!

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

VERY good at his job, he is an amazing professor and does a few in-class demonstrations in order to help students visualize the concepts he is teaching. He is very passionate about his work and is thorough when teaching. I did terrible in high school chemistry but aced his class!

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Daddy price is literally a chem god. Hes the best gen chem professor by FAR. I had him for 1A in person and 1B online (due to COVID-19), and there honestly wasnt much of a difference in how thorough his lectures were. He cares about his students, and wants to see them do well. Dont slack on the book work! A lot of exam questions come from there.

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

I had him for 1A/1B and got A's in both. He's an amazing lecturer. Adapted very well to online. This quarter however there was a HUGE curve - an entire letter grade up - but don't expect that to be the norm. The thing that makes the class hard is the tests b/c they're short on time. Study practice tests and book problems. ALEKS not that helpful.

CHEM1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

This dude was so good at adapting to online classes. Apparently he's planning on using the same tech to record lectures in the future so you'll be able to rewatch anything you missed or didn't understand. Chem is hard, Price is amazing, curve is fat.

1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

I took Price for 1B and 1C, and he is a good, engaging lecturer! The material though is really difficult so you must push yourself to get a good grade!

CHEM1A1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Chem is hard, Price makes it manageable. Explains things in ways that make them easy to understand. Hoping to get him again for 1C

CHEM1B . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Price is a fantastic professor for the chem 1 series. It's obvious he genuinely enjoys teaching and tries extremely hard to make his lectures as concise and informative as possible. While I had Price for 1A and 1B, 1B was online due to coronavirus. He's KILLING IT. The only professor to transition well, and honestly he's done it seamlessly. 10/10

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Price is an amazing teacher! I took chem1A with Joseph and got a D, but got an A- with Price. He thoroughly explains every concept and his lectures are easy to follow. He also does multiple example problems/calculations so you know what to expect on exams. Just go to class and take all the practice quizzes/exams and you will pass!

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

Attendance is not mandatory, but if you don't show up you're gonna have a hard time. I absolutely love Price and I genuinely think that he's the best chem professor. He's very organized and clear. He even sends out emails after lecture that gives you a summary of the lecture, review questions, recommended book problems, how to prepare for tests

CHEM1A . Price S P 4 Years Ago

His lectures are easy and clear to be understood, and he can explain the concepts pretty well. The exams are easy as well, and you can get a great grade by attending classes, doing homework, and doing practice exams. I am taking CHEM 1B right now but with another professor, who makes me miss Prof. Price sooooo much!

Price is as amazing as everyone says he is. He gives incredibly thorough lectures and is clear about what he expects from you in order to succeed in his class. DO THE TEXTBOOK PROBLEMS if you want to get a good grade.
