Dr. Price is one of the best genchem profs! He makes lots of relatable jokes to help understand the material, is super caring, and really loves his job and his students. Cannot recommend him more. As long as you go to class and do the practice tests you should get a good grade in the class. Grade is 2 MTs, final, ALEKS, and iClicker.
Price is truly, absolutely, and genuinely incredible. He delivers the most amazing lectures and the experiments he does in class are DOPE. He's very helpful during office hours and truly does want every student to succeed in his class. You do have to put in effort to earn a good grade, but it's all worth it in the end. Honestly amazing professor.
Great lecturer. Clearly, thoroughly, and quickly explains the problems and how to solve them. Probably the best chem teacher here, he just know what he's doing and can help you know what you're doing. Also a pretty rad dude besides that. take him
Easily one of the best gen chem professors. This class can be really tough, especially for the first 4 weeks so make sure you do the practice exams and book problems. His lectures are certainly worth going to so don't be tempted to skip them.
Made lectures interesting and easy to understand. Keep up with the reading and the assignments and you should be just fine.
Daddy Price is a great guy, but don't go into his class assuming that just because he's an amazing lecturer that you don't have to put in as much effort. I failed his chem 1a class and what I learned from it is that the book problems are actually crucial to doing well in the course, and that the other professors really aren't as bad as they say.
Take as much of gen chem with Price as you can, he's just the best. Really straight forward, helpful explanations. I didn't understand chemistry at all until I had him for 1B. Love his sense of humor too. Gem of a man.
PRICE IS THE BEST CHEM TEACHER! I had him for 1A and 1B. He posts lectures online but go to class because he works all problems out very clearly and explains as he goes. Do the practice tests for tests and as if you stay on top of the book problems in every email that he sends out, the class will be way easier, you just have to put in the work
Best Chem teacher at UCSB. Great lecturer. Strait forward/ easy tests if you do the practice tests.
I LOVE Professor Price. He is an amazing lecturer and genuinely wants students to do well. If you go to lecture and do the book problems, you have a good chance of doing well in his class. He is the best.
This man is a Chemistry God. I could tell you, in very specific rhetoric, how much I love this man. But I won't. Just take this class, take any class he teaches, and just enjoy him. He's smart, he's kind, he is the best teacher I've ever had, he helps you outside of class, he's got it all. Just actually do the book work and study. Enjoy.
Professor Price is a great lecturer. If you attend an keep up with all of the lectures and do all the practice quizzes, you can do very well in his class. If you took AP Chem, that's all you have to do. If not, do the book problems, and make note of all the questions you find difficult and ask him how to solve it. ALEKS is annoying but it helps.
This quarter I realized I really sucked at science but I do not regret taking Price's class at all. He was the best professor I've had my first quarter. He does not teach extraneous information that will not be needed in the future, he teaches what is necessary. He also holds review sessions and posts resources on gauchospace for students to use.
His lectures are on point: well-organized, specific, and interesting. Offers lots of practice material for you to work on (the key to doing well in his class), and gives you different grading options. Also has plenty of funny moments. I wish I could have this guy for Ochem haha.
Such a great teacher who gives us so many resources! I feel like I took it for granted and kinda blew off this class, though. Don't do that!! Price is honestly such a great teacher
His lectures keep you engaged and are very organized. He is really helpful during office hours and the class isn't too hard if you study a little bit every day. Price is such a fun teacher and makes class fun
Price genuinely cares about his students and lectures extremely clearly. He is definitely the best of the 1A professors, so everyone will try for him and his lecture fills up fast. Although his teaching is very good, he cannot pass the class for you. You will still need to do all of your homework, book problems, and practice tests to do well.
Awesome prof! Lives up to hype, but admittedly his tests are a lot harder than his lectures make them seem. He does post previous quiz/midterm/final so take advantage and practice off those. iclicker replaces lower quiz & final replaces lower midterm so even if you mess if in beginning, you can do well. Just study & put in work. Take if u can!
Incredible teaching style - concise powerpoint slides and doesn't include superfluous info on his slides like what most professors tend to do. Tells you exactly what you have to know. made chemistry very easy to understand and uses a lot of analogies that make very difficult concepts easier to understand.
Interesting and funny guy in lecture. The best of the Gen Chem profs in my opinion. Do the book problems and the practice quizzes/exams. The textbook is really only for the book problems. He makes things very clear and posts lectures before class online. Definitely recommend.
I love him, he genuinely cares about your grade and you doing well in the class. His office hours are usually crowded. He holds review sessions before every exam and the final. As long as you attend lecture and write down whatever he writes on the board, you should be fine. His previous exams/quizzes are good examples of what will be on the exams.
I barely passed Chem 1A & failed Chem 1B the first time when both were taken with a different professor, but when I took 1B with Price everything was so easy! He explains everything so in detail, really tries to make examples super easy for students to understand, and shows cool demos that keep the class engaged. 10/10 recommend Prof. Price!!
Scott is awesome. He's very accommodating to a student's needs if you have special ones, just go to his office hours. He's super helpful during office hours if you need to go over coursework but also just a really cool guy to talk to. He does little experiments in relation to the material which are always fun and goofy and he gives grading options.
Daddy Price is a beast of a man. I highly recommend taking at least one of the gen chem series with him. He makes his lectures interesting and does more demos than any professor. He also does multiple exam reviews for every exam in the quarter. His tests arent too difficult, but they will test your knowledge. You can't not love Daddy Price.
