Prof. Price is a terrific guy. He breaks the information down for you in detail, unlike other profs. His exams are hard, but his class has the highest average on exams of all gen-chem classes. It would be a stupid idea to take someone else, thinking you will do better, because you won't learn as much as you will from price. He gives practice exams.

Price is a well-respected chemistry professor. Having him as my science professor for my first semester at Temple was a great choice. He has clear notes and explanations during lecture for Gen Chem 1. I highly recommend him if you get the option to have him as your professor. Mindtap was the only hard part because those challenge questions man...

Price teaches the class better than others, but in order to do well on his exams you will have to teach yourself in further depth. For a while I just tried studying my class notes and ended up pretty lost on some parts of the exams. You have to make sure you completely understand the concepts based on the book and outside sources.

Price is THE MAN!! 1000x better than Ramella, Stanley and Michael. You will struggle at first like I did but if u go to his office hrs he will help you. Makes u work for a good grade. Might be intimidating to some at first but really friendly guy once u get to know him. Definitely taking him for Gen Chem 2. Just wish he taught o-chem too.

Dr. Price is very funny during his lectures and is clearly the best prof for chemistry. His lecture notes are always posted online and he does tons of example problems after a topic. The class is really tough, but he's the best way to go.

Dr. Price was an awesome professor. This was the first year Temple used Cengage with Mindtap for homework, all of the homework was online. The Ebook and interactive homework lessons make it so that lecture isnt too necessary. However, his teaching style is fantastic and he moves at a good pace. He thoroughly explains things and uses diagrams too.

The class is hard in general but Price really does a great job with his lectures. His use of Cengage/Mind-Tap to give homework is great. It is really up to the student to go over all the material and ACTUALLY STUDY! Can't pass the same way you passed classes in highschool anymore. Very demanding!

Dr Price has no time for slackers. If your not willing to work for a good grade take another Prof. Very fair grader. Not much of a curve but he doesn't have to do that as averages are high 70s - because he's such an incredible teacher and really helpful outside of class!!

Dr. Price is one of the best professors I have ever had at Temple. I am a senior Kinesiology major who struggled with Chem and math in my 2nd year, withdrew from 1031 because I was failing (with another Prof). Taking chemistry with Dr. Price for both Gen Chem I and II has been a wonderful experience, and I am better than I ever thought I. Love him!

Let there be no mistake, Dr Price is the best Chemistry teacher in the department but also very hard. That being said, you're gonna have to put in a lot of work to earn a C or higher to pass. Dont depend on a curve for his class because he only curves if the total average is low (it was 82% for my class so no curve). Just study hard and keep up!

Dr. Price is an amazing professor and a great guy. If you have the chance to take him, I highly recommend! He explains everything very clearly and I have not understood chem as much as I did with him. If you have additional questions he addresses them very clearly and is extremely helpful. Take Dr. Price if you want to understand Chemistry!!!

If there was a Nobel prize for teaching Gen Chem, Dr Price would win it hands down! Crystal clear lectures and very helpful in office hours. Lots of hmk and exams were a bit tough but it's chemistry not a gen ed course! Highly recommend taking him for gen chem 1 and 2.

Great teacher. Makes jokes in class and is an overall king. Moves quickly in lecture, so you need to pay attention and take good notes. Quizzes in resititation every week but I think that's pretty standard across all chem teachers. Also gives extra credit every now and then that you solve at home. If you study and put in time you will easily pass.

Price is a chemistry god and unexpectedly funny, his British accent enhances all his jokes, is an absolute unit of a man and I love him, bald head shines light on my future. Stay on top of hw and textbook readings and you'll be fine. I had never taken chemistry before and managed a B+. Does plenty of examples in class to help you grasp concepts.

Dr. Price really shines in his inorganic lectures. You can tell that he really knows everything, and is super approachable in office hours for any concerns you may have about the material. Exams are a bit "interesting," but nothing crazy beyond the book problems. Highly highly recommend for Inorganic Chem if he teaches it.

Dr. Price is probably the hardest but best Gen Chem teacher. I didn't have him for Chem1 and the concepts were a lot harder for me to understand, but Dr. Price is a really good lecturer. If you read the chapter before and then go to lecture to have him explain it, it's really helpful. He is really willing to help accommodate.

Dr. Price is truly one of the best chemistry professors out there. His lectures are concise and provide all the detail you need for an exam. He's British accent definitely provides flair to his lectures as the content can often become dry. He's accessible if you need him and he go out of his way to help you.

Dr. Price is my chem inspirator. I had some issues with the TA; he was not grading me fairly; however, I went to Dr. Price, he was so caring and understanding, and he regraded my quizzes in a far fairway. Dont hesitate to attend office hours, dont skip classes, and dont leave the homework until the last minute, and youll get the grade u want.

I did horribly this semester of my own fault. Not once did Professor Price chastise me, berate me, talk down to me, or refuse me help. Up until the very end he made sure I had all the resources and access I needed. Unfortunately, I fell behind (again, my own fault) but I will be taking this class again. So thankful to Prof Price and the chem dept.

This class was completely asynchronous and for the first half of the semester I fell REALLY behind. Dr. Price had office hours on MWF where he would go through our quiz attempts for each module and tell us which problems we got wrong as well as walk through similar examples. He never condescended students who fell behind and cared about our success
