He is a good prof and makes class fun with his jokes. He is very approachable and will answer your question the best he can.
Very good professor! The class isn't bad and he tries to make it fun with jokes. He loves Deuce and Austin Powers and will throw them into the lecture whenever he can. He does cover a lot of material for tests though. Overall, take him if you can!
He is a funny and nice guy, class is pretty easy, just make sure you get the notes. I would have done better if I havent missed so many classes. Very fair class and you dont even have to study that much.
Great guy, very approachable. Easy class, just study for the tests. He has great humor even early in the morning.
Price is a very nice teacher who really enjoys what he is teaching about. Study for the tests and go to classes and you will be fine.
good prof. very clear and likes what he teaches...easy A if you study
VERY fair!
Awesome prof, awesome class. Made me appreciate rocks
He is the best teacher I have had at school. He loves Deuce Bigalow and is always making jokes. He is a legand to all people who look to be Geology majors. And even if you don't like rocks, he is great.
What can I say? Price is the man. I became a Geology major because of him. Great stories, great jokes, Price is a legend.
Price is awesome! The class is easy and he is so funny! He tries to hard to keep everyone interested! He is so smart and has done so much in his field! 100% recommended! Be prepared for Rob Schiender and Bob Saget jokes!
Very nice guy. Go to class and you'll do fine. Watch out for tests though... they contain a lot of material and can bring your grade down very easily.
easy easy easy..
study test from your notes and go to class! If you do that dont buy the book!! You will never open it if you go to class.
Just take good notes, go to class, and study. Tests are difficult but they come straight from the notes he gives...so its what you make of it
Adorably dorky. A cake class if you pay attention and take notes. Has a wonderful way of explaining things.
Awesome prof. take him if you get the chance! Makes class so fun! He jokes are great. Tests aren't bad if you study the notes. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! Biggest waste of money! Just come to class and take notes!!! Class is GREAT!
Best teacher I've ever had... Kinda corny jokes but you laught at them, and his class is always fun and bearable for an hour and 15 minutes...He's just awesome, deffinity take him if you can! His tests are super easy, they come right off the notes, and DONT buy the book, I haven't even opened it
Even know im not doing too well. Everybody else in my 150 student class is. Great teacher keeps you intresting with cheesy throw in lines (about rob shnieder,in-laws,goats) to keep you awake. I can honestly say that any other teacher i would have dropped that course- it's so boring - take him :)
He is awesome, I have this class at 8am and don't even want to skip! tests come straight from the notes, don't buy the book! Price is really funny, has a great way of explaining things and keeps your attention with random pictures of goats and funny stories. I look forward to his class.
price is a stud. if he wasn't married and if i was a girl, i'd date him. love his class. he's in love w/ goats and his pictures, jokes, and random movie questions make it easier to pay attention. this class is a must.
I have to say that between the oddball jokes about Mike Hackenson, the in-laws and goats, there's no way anyone could ever hate his class. And don't forget the "Daily Silly Trivia." He has this weird obsession with Rob Schnieder though, it's still cute. Definately the hottest teacher i have.
So funny! Easy class...dont' buy the book, just show up everyday and study the notes and highlight the "bried reviews" and you will get an A for sure! Very easy! He loves Goats and Llamas! Bring hima Pepsi too...he'll love you for life!
Pretty tough material, he has good notes, test right from notes... Nice guy tries to keep things interesting
Price is a stud muffin. Makes class interesting and is a very nice guy. I would definately date him.
Best teacher on campus. Word is spreading. Funny, hot, teaches well, clear presentations that keep you from falling asleep. Be sure to ask him about watermelon tourmaline and after dinner mints in bowls at restaurants, and Mike Hackensack.
He is awesome. Makes the class really interesting with all of his jokes...they do get pretty old by the end of the semester, but he's still cool. Don't buy the book! He gives you really detailed notes and the tests are taken right from there!
REALLY funny. Tests are relatively hard, but multiple choice. He keeps class interesting and if the class starts to pack up before he's done, he'll just let you go. He loves goats, and Rob Schneider
very funny! can tell that he enjoys teaching...don't buy the book if u take the class...everything that's on the test is on his powerpoints in class...loves duece bigalow...one of the best professors i've had a millersville
Easy class...Dr. Price gives notes with power point. The tests are easy—questions come straight from the notes. Don’t even really need to use your book—only for figures. Dr. Price is funny and keeps the class interesting!
Best Professor ever!!! His notes were very easy to follow and the test questions came right from the notes. He is so incredibly funny. Never a dull day in class. His is by far the best professor Millersville has ever and will ever have. Take him as much as possible!
AMAZING TEACHER!!!!!!! take this class if you can
Wow, Rob Schnieder, Hanson, Mike Hakenson, Goats, and Llamas... He was a very interesting teacher. The Power Point helps a lot. Also, it's good to stay awake to catch the scary pictures and the Stupid Question of the Day.
Dr. Price is amazing! I loved having him as a professor! I would recommend taking him for anything! He keeps you awake and alert. He has a great sense of humor. I respect him so much for being such an amazing teacher and person. I learned a lot from his class. TAKE HIM!!
This man is a really good proffesor! Test are easy just study once and a while. I got a A in both his classes.Really good guy knows his****!
Best professor ever! I hate science but he makes it easy to understand. He's so nice and always willing to help. Keeps class interesting with jokes and funny pictures. Take him for anything you can, he's great.
BEST PROF EVER!!! he makes very good use of class time. Takes this class if you can. Very interesting and not boring at all!!! very funny at times. Price is Right... no pun intended... haha.
Take this class! Dr. Price is fun, the class is easy, and tests are easy since you can tell what the questions will be during the lecture. Watching some Rob Schneider movies will enhance your experience in this class.
he's great and he's funny
Dr. Price is the best. Be aware of his unfunny jokes..lol..BUT he has a great sense of humor. Class is very interesting and make sure to pay attention to his PowerPoint presentations. I recommend anyone to take any class with him....
Best gen ed I've ever taken! He is the greatest teacher and I learn so much from him! I really recommend him to ANYONE! Really shows an interest in geology and makes me have an interest as well! Hilarious even though his jokes are sort of dumb. He is great! Take him!
Don't even bother buying the book b/c everything you need to know on the test will be in your notes, take good notes and study them, pretty easy class, funny man, very nice
Very funny man. He didn't really teach too much in our lab, but everything was in the book so that was quite alright. Easy tests. I can't identify rocks to save my life, but I still did well. Would've taken him for lecture, given the chance. Definitely recommended!
Price is the man. All the tests come directly from the power points and are extremely easy, as long as you study hard. Funny guy, makes the class enjoyable and you might even learn something at the same time. Take this guys if you can.
Awesome prof! He's hilarious. Make sure you go to all the lectures and get notes- then the tests are easy. But don't miss class because he doesn't really follow the book. But the powerpoints are amusing so class isn't boring!
FREAKING AWESOME! he made me like learning about rocks, and that is not easy to do. i would definitely reccomend his classes to anyone.
I stayed awake through an 8 am class... thats gotta say something. Definately an awesome teacher, the jokes were corny... but you just had to laugh because of how bad they were. In the end, I know a little more about rocks and enjoyed myself in the process
very fun
Price is the man, he gives an effort to be funny and occasionally, he hits home.
Rob Schnieder.... haha take this class and you will understand... i loved it, great class!!!!!
Very Funny and a Great Lecturer.. One of my favorite teachers
Great professor! Funny. Kept things interesting making it easier to pay attention. Easy to look at! :-) I would recommend him to anyone! This guy knows his stuff....
Hilarious!
good man. made class fun and didnt throw any curve balls on tests recommend taking this class
Best prof at MU! Tests are right from his notes. Don't buy the book! You won't use it. His class was never boring. I recommend taking him!!
Dr Price is the funniest professor I ever had and the cutest. He loves what he do and does it very good. If you have not had him take him, he's the best, oh and never but the book right from the notes so go to class!
No Comments
person before me = doofus. he is quite possilby the best professor here. or one of them. does waste a minute ammount of time in class, but he doesnt waste it. he makes us laugh. at 8AM. thats a feat. all i have to say about him is he like llama's and the golden girls. hes rock.
One of the EASIEST classes I ever took. Glad this was my morning class, he is very funny and nice. Tests come directly from your notes and there are like 3 and are very easy. That's were the majority of your grade comes from.
the class is really easy. take notes and go to class and you will be fine. he makes the same jokes all the time but there kinda funny
Stupid! stupid! stupid! stupid! stupid! stupid! He does not help people! He even makes fun of his students! No matter what your friends say, DON'T TAKE HIM!
Stupid, stupid, stupid?? Haha, sounds like someone definitely just jumped from 7th grade to freshmen year of college. Price is cool as hell...the problem is probably with you. Oh and yes people, do listen to your friends and take him because they know what they are talking about.
I LOVE DR. PRICE!! Seriously, he's basically a failed stand up comedian...half the lecture is him telling stories about his high school friend (Mike Hakanson) or his fave celeb R Lee Ermey. While the jokes are corny and lame, you can appreciate his sense of humor. Tests are straight from the notes. They're only hard if you don't study. Take him!
Dr. Price is a great teacher for a morning class. He keeps things interesting and he makes a bunch of stupid jokes but its funny! His test are kinda difficult because there is so much information. you just have to study!! DONT BUY THE BOOK!!!! Alslo there is no extra credit.. basically your grade comes straight from tests! He is worth taking.
He was a lot of fun and made lots of jokes which were fun to laugh at.
Funny and enjoyable prof. Tests come directly from powerpoint presentation. Don't bother with the text. Makes class enjoyable with silly movie trivia and jokes. Great prof to have for an 8am class.
Don't even bother buying the textbook. All his notes come from the PP slides. The class is hard if you don't study because his tests cover a lot of information. He makes a bunch of corny jokes and has some odd stories, but at 9 AM they will make most people laugh, plus it just makes the class less monotonous.
the man... that is all
He is pretty fun in class with his stoies about Mike, but his tests are expremely hard and you need to start studying like a week before hand or at least look at the notes..his lab is pretty easy yet he is NO help at all when it comes to lab!
Weird to see such extreme reactions to this guy. Class is easy as hell. Make sure to show up for in class exercises. Otherwise, zone out and listen to his ****ed jokes and ridiculous stories. You tend to get the impression teaching isn't his dream job. Probably wouldn't want him as my advisor, but for a 101 class, none better.
You'll grow to love his corny jokes after a while. He's a great teacher, and very helpful. However, make sure you study well for the tests. Also, some of his policies can be unforgiving.
OMG! I love Price. He's kinda corny sometimes... but when it comes down to it, he really does his job. He makes lecture fun and eventfull. And wow... Hicks, Sagget, Chloe, and Mike H... :) I wil have such great memories of his class. I hope that i get a chance to work with him on some progects!
Follow his rules to the letter, don't cross the man & learn! Fun course & content. Price injects a retro fun level into Geology. Watch "Zoolander" before day 1. Great movie anyhow and you'll understand the references. Take notes. Good notes. Pay attention to details like what happened in Cameroon. Price + Geology = a class NOT to be missed
I loved this class so much. Price is a straight forward guy, take the notes he gives you everything on the tests is from the notes, DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, I did not use it once and I have an A. There are 4 tests, no quizzes or homework. The final is not cumulative. He is a funny guy and he is seems like he really really enjoys teaching. Love him.
Dr. Price is a great professor for low level classes, but beware if you take an upper level class with him. His teaching styles are not the greatest and he is virtually no help when you ask him questions. I had him for ESCI 221 and 321 and I noticed that he is more stingy in his upper level classes. Funny guy though, made geology fun.
All of the good things people say are mostly true...BUT, beware of upper level classes.You're not allowed to write him emails, REGARDLESS of what the email says, he will bite your head off. If you're not really smart he will give up on you. Your experience with him could go either way i guess.
He rocks (No pun intended). Keeps class interesting with corny jokes. Test material is straight from ppts. DO NOT SHOW UP LATE ON AN EXAM DAY!
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. YOU WILL NOT USE IT. YOU DO NEED THE LAB MANUAL THO. this class is not easy but it is also not the hardest class. B's and C's on his tests if you go to class mostly . I have skipped once per section between tests. Most kids skip but he will nt give out his notes so make friends in class!!! always talks about taylor hicks
You will be entertained! But he's not easy on the tests you do have to study your power point notes. Do not buy the book!
Dr. Price isn't a very good professor...this class is super boring and your gonna need to buy the book if you want to pass. PPT notes everyday with moderate tests, i would recommend taking a different class for Ged Ed requirement. Attendance is mandatory and if factored into your grade. DOES NOT respond to e-mail very often!
Amazing guy, knows what he's talkin about. Lab is easier than the lecture, but you still need to study outside of class, especially whne it comes to rock identification for the lab. His jokes are kinda corny, but still a really cool guy.
One of the few profs I've had that make going to an 8AM class worth it. His jokes are corny but the class is easy. 4 tests, all from PowerPoint notes. Don't need to buy the book.
Price is a great teacher and the class is EASY he gives you all the notes from power points you only get four exams and that's your grade. DON'T buy the book I did and it costs $130 and I didn't use it once. He's a pretty funny guy and you learn a lot.Just don't miss his class because he doesn't give out his notes. Take him if you can.
I highly recommend Dr. Price. He doesn't assign any reading, homework, or any type of project all you have to do is go to class and copy his power point slides. He only gives four exams throughout the semester and they aren't cumulative. Easiest course I taken so far.
This is my second course with Dr. Price. He is a straight forward guy, which I appreciate in a professor. Tests are only from the notes taken in class. You have to study and there are a lot of notes for each test, but there is no homework and no quizzes. Four tests and you don't need to buy the text book.
He tells horrible jokes, but i guess its not to bad just come and copy the notes!
He is sooooo sexy, you can see his perky nipples through his dress shirt. He is funny and its just notes and 4 tests, no book.
awesome teacher! hes hilarious! you just have to show up and take notes exactly how they are on the pp and study and you will do fine!!
If you can site through stale, overused, bad jokes, you'll be alright. I hate this class at first, but it grew on me as the semester went on. Copy his powerpoints word for word & the test comes straight from there.
LOVED him!! seriously, all you have to do is show up to class and get the notes and you are set. just study those notes, and you'll do really good! he is really funny too, and I HATE science but he made it entertaining talking about his mother in-law and olive garden. don't buy the book and waste your money you don't need it! TAKE his class!!
Wouldn't take him again...Lab is impossible....for me at least. Makes tests harder if you make him upset. Doesn't allow e-mail. Don't e-mail him or you'll upset him and have even harder tests.
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR! He actually told the entire class about a time he found an injured kitten and ate it. Very twisted. He told us the last day that he WANTED us to give him bad scores on this site? Well here it is... Don't take!
Honestly, the guy is a bit uptight overall. He gets angsty if you send him an e-mail and will make the last test cumulative if you upset him enough. He actually wanted the class to give bad reviews about him. So if you don't mind half-baked jokes and slightly monotone lectures, knock yourself out and take his class. If not, steer clear!
Don't bother
go to class, take the notes, laugh at his jokes and he'll love you. all exams are multiple choice straight from the notes, very easy. corny sense of humor, but you'll learn to love him. tries to be a jerk but isn't at all. really smart. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. i never opened it once and i got all As. TAKE HIS CLASS.
He's adorable. I would have hated his class if it wouldn't have been for his jokes--which are so corny, they're actually hilarious. He could care less if you go to class, but I would suggest going. Plus, he's not bad to look at.
He's funny, interesting, and passionate about his job. He could care less about attendance, but I suggest going anyway. His jokes are so corny, they're hilarious. Study for the exams. All multiple choice; some questions are a little tricky. Also, he loves Betty White and iCarly.
You MUST MUST MUST attend class. Don't bother buying the book. Four tests, each 25% of your grade, based on lectures. Easy if you study; you're screwed if you don't. Jokes are sometimes funny, sometimes you just want him to shut up.
Horrible Class. Do not take if you don't need it. It seemed like an OK class at first but the test questions are WRITTEN TO TRIP YOU UP! I studied insanely hard for a test and thought I would get a 90 at least since I knew ever question and he gave me a 70! HORRIBLE CLASS MADE FOR YOU TO FAIL!
DO NOT USE YOU CELL PHONES IN THIS CLASS. He basically tells you on the first day that if you keep him happy, he'll keep you happy. If he sees people texting (and he will call you out), then he makes the tests harder. If hes in a good mood, the tests are easy. Seriously, it's an easy A if you just put you phone away for 50 minutes.
Price thinks hes really funny but he is so annoying. His tests are ridiculously hard. even if you study really hard. you might do ok if your good at science..but for people who arent good luck. Dont take his class its not worth it
Jokes get very repetitive, but enjoyed the class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's lectures and notes every class so it's best not to miss. He doesn't use email. DON'T BUY THE BOOK
Very corny and hilarious! Tests are hard though, so definitely study. Great professor though!
Nice guy. Do your work and WILL be fine!
The text book is recommended but he will not have you read it. Personally, get it anyway because his lectures are meant for advanced level Earth Science majors (which I am not), and he couldn't explain it in "English". His "jokes" get repetitive, but don't let that sidetrack you. His tests get harder if you don't make him happy.
He does not treat it as a 100 level class. The tests are hard and you must study. Attendance is not mandatory but I suggest attending. He said the book is recommended but you do not need it.
Dr. Price is the man. Shamelessly mentions his love for iCarly during class. Sure, his jokes are repetitive, but watching as he laughs about to himself about them is hysterical. Tests straight off the notes, which you literally write verbatim off the slides. Easy B if you study a them. "Scientists can date rocks, but they won't say much at dinner."
This guy gave up wanting to be a decent professor a long time ago. He has been using the same Powerpoint slides for years and never changes his material. He is miserable and makes sure you are too when you have to be there. He is specifically out to fail students. I wouldn't recommend Dr. Price - pick someone else.
Wish I could have had Price for the lecture of this class, but as for the lab, he makes it a MUCH easier 2 hours to get through than I think Earman would. His tests are extremely simplified versions of the labs, even if rock identification can be a pain. Definitely recommend Price and his insane jokes.
It's been several years since this class, and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Sit in the front row!
His class is easier if your an earth science major. If not, be prepared for a lot of confusion. Material comes at you a mile a minute with little to no explanation. You have to write down everything on his slides in order to achieve a decent grade. EVERYTHING. So much of your time will be spend copying things he is reading. Does not accept email.
His tests are easy if you attend class and pay attention.
