This class was so much work for a pre-major class. Get ready to spend several hours every single week reading the textbook + doing the WileyPlus hw problems, which are extremely challenging (TAs sometimes get them wrong too) + doesn't even reflect questions on his difficult exams. !! He also imposes a curve so that only 10% of students get an A !!!

The course is hard content-wise: you have to CRITICALLY understand the concepts. HOWEVER, this class added A LOT OF UNNECESSARY stress. He structures the class where only 10% of students get As, so you are COMPETING AGAINST OTHERS. I haven't seen any other professor in the Econ department do this (even though he says it's a department requirement).

Amazing lecturer, willing to help you with anything that you have trouble. Just make sure you're on top of the content and get help when needed. The TAs are also super helpful with homework and any questions that you have.

I loved Fulkerson, he makes lectures incredibly helpful and not boring. Section nor lecture is mandatory but both will help you do well in the class. The tests and homework are pretty damn hard but I feel like I learned a lot. He curves the entire class with the econ curve and lets you know where you stand after the 2nd midterm.

Amazing professor honestly. The material is difficult, but he does a good job explaining and making things clear. Make sure to do a lot of practice problems. Would love to take him again!

Scott is a nice guy. He explains the context well and is experienced in the accounting field himself. Readings really help you understand the concepts so remember to read 'em.
