ECON185 . Fulkerson S D 2 Months Ago

I enjoyed Professor Fulkerson's 185 class. His dry sense of humor makes his lectures engaging, and much of the material covered on the exams is found on the slides (so attend class, as that material isn't posted). A lot of the grade comes from group projects with varying levels of difficulty. Do your best in these and you'll be okay. Recommended.

ECON185 . Fulkerson S D 3 Months Ago

Really funny, good professor. Exams were mostly based off the slides he provides. However, I think since Econ 185 is an elective the curve should be closer to 75/25 A's and B's rather than 50/50.

136A . Fulkerson S D 19 Days Ago

Really hard class but he makes it bearable and a positive learning experience, one of the few professors where I've actually learned in lecture and not just from self teaching. Super engaging which almost makes the subject material bearable. READ THE TEXTBOOK! If you didn't start studying bonds yesterday you're already behind

3B . Fulkerson S D 29 Days Ago

Going to lectures and using the textbook for exam preparation are crucial. Great professor who explains concepts well, this course just requires a lot of outside practice and application as well. Would love to take one of his classes again.

Many say Scott is tough, but he wants the best for his students. If you go to class, do the homework, and study ahead of time, you will succeed. He is very personable, knowledgable, funny, and good at teaching. I really think he has a bad rep for no reason. I loved his class and hope to take him again. He sets you up for success in future classes.

136A . Fulkerson S D 2 Months Ago

Took Fulkerson for 3b and just took him again for 136a. If you did well in 3a and 3b at UCSB, 136a will be a breeze. Fulkerson structures 136a very similarly to 3b so if you enjoyed that class, definitely take 136a with Fulkerson. He grades on a curve but it generally helps you. Attendance is optional but he gives test answers during class.
