AMAZING! Much prefer him over the other professors. Very accessible and nonjudgemental about what you do or do not know. Made an effort to best help me prepare, in order to earn the highest grade possible.
Price is hands down the best chem professor at UCSB. He is very knowledgeable and clear on his courses. I took both Chem 1A and 1B with him and he was the reason why I could succeed in chem. His tests are NOT easy, but they are fair if you put in the effort. Very helpful to do book problems that he assigns after every lecture.
Loml!! My favorite professor at UCSB so far. Def recommend taking him. Great lecturer, efficient, and youll learn really well I promise.
His lectures are so hilarious. But his test gets harder and harder as the quarter goes by. Definitely a good professor. Make sure do you do book problems.
Price is one of the best chem professors at UCSB; his lectures are concise, and he really goes out of his way to reword the material in a way that makes sense to the students. However, STUDY STUDY STUDY and enroll in CLAS, because the tests are so much harder than he lets on. I failed only because I'm bad at chem, not because of his instruction.
Had him for 1A and loved him. He's the best chem 1 series professor, so if you can get in his class, take it. He's funny, he won't nail you for missing a lecture or homework here or there, and his tests are about as easy as it gets for a curve-dependent class.
Price is without a doubt my favorite professor at UCSB! I've had him for two quarters now and his lectures are definitely top tier. Also, his notes are really concise and easy to understand so I'd recommend printing those out for lectures. He's a really easy person to talk to, and will never make you feel like an idiot. I'll miss this one.
Scott Price is such a character. He made lecture interesting and made the topics clear. He explained the problems step by step and gave everyday examples to make the topics relevant and easy to understand. There were also many opportunities to raise your grade with ALEKS, iclicker/quiz replacement, and midterm/final replacement.
Price is a great guy, I love his personality and he's super intelligent. I recommend taking CLAS because the material can be kinda tough and the more practice the better. Only thing I hated were his crazy grueling tests. Did everything I could to study and still could only pull a C on the final. Feel like I deserved better. But overall great class.
Price is AMAZING! He made chem my favorite class first quarter. Don't get me wrong, get ready to study... I averaged about 20 hours per week just for his class. Definitely the best lecturer out of all the gen chem profs. DO THE BOOK PROBLEMS!!! The practice tests and ALEKS are not enough to prepare for exams. Excited to take him again next quarter
I love Scott Price. Amazing man. Deserves the best in life. Also a great lecturer.
Price tries his best to make the lectures interesting, and will never make you feel dumb when you're asking a dumb question. He genuinely cares about his students and always holds review sessions before each midterm and final. What a guy man what a guy.
There's a reason he received an award for best lecturer this quarter. Price literally goes above and beyond with every lecture, pulling in references to all sorts of pop culture to help you understand the concepts. Even if you can't go to office hours (which I recommend you do) shoot him an email and he'll help you out. STUDY PRACTICE EXAMS!!
What an amazing human!! He's a great professor, and makes a difficult subject a lot easier than it could be. He's kind, and super awkward, but it's really sweet. I'd take another class with him any day.
Scott Price is a good lecturer but his voice is very monotone that it makes me want to fall asleep. I don't get what the big hype about him is, his lectures are equally as good as Joseph's but i prefer Joseph. His quizzes and midterms are not as difficult if you understand the concept behind the material and if you focus on the practice exams.
This class is extremely difficult. If you put in the effort and do all of the book problems you will be able to pass. The curve is pretty big. He is a great lecturer and keeps each lecture interesting.
I'm terrible at chemistry and only needed the first two courses in the series for my major, but I would not have taken 1A and 1B with anyone else. His lectures were clear and well-organized, and he explained things well. Biggest regret was not doing the book problems, or else I probably would've done better. Take the whole series with Price.
I have to say that Price was a solid choice for Chem 1B. He relies heavily on the book problems, which is easy to fall behind in. Quizzes and midterms were fairly straightforward, with 3-6 difficult problems. The final exam is brutal and is nothing like the practice final, BEWARE! Demos are really cool and interesting.
AMAZING professor. You can easily see that he is passionate about what he does. He cares about his students and really wants them to do well. I went to every single lecture because it was worth it. His in-class examples and demos are really interesting and helpful. He also his a witty and dry sense of humor. Go to CLAS and do practice exams!!!
Awesome professor, you can tell he loves teaching this class. I got 100% on both quizzes so I stopped going to class since iClicker replaces quizzes, and ended up screwing myself over because I did not understand most of the topics that I missed. Go to class and do all the practice problems and you will pass.
Price is a fantastic professor worthy of the hype he gets. Tbh, he's not cheerful like I imagined him to be, but you can tell he loves what he does. Every once in a while he'll crack a joke. His demos are super cool. He truly knows how to lecture and convey information in a clear and understandable way. If you have the choice, take him.
Price is easily one of the best lectures for the Gen Chem series. He obviously cares about helping his students do well and gives you the resources to succeed. Like all the classes in the series, your grade depends on the work you put in. If you take the time to learn the concepts and do practice exams, you're guaranteed an A.
Scott Price is a gem. He truly loves lecturing chemistry and he is extremely concise and coherent. His jokes are nutty and charming and he provides a lot of support before midterms and the final. Wonderful guy.
Scott is a great professor. Very clear lectures, cares about student and makes an effort for everybody to learn. I would take him for all my chem classes if he taught them all. You wont regret taking this class with him
