136A . Fulkerson S D 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

The test are tough but he lets you know that right off the bat. His lectures are cool and he makes it interesting with stories, which is huge because this material can be boring at times. Definitely one of the best Acct professors Ive had at UCSB. The curve in the class is fairly generous so it makes up for the difficulty.

Scott definitely knows what he is talking about and his lectures are pretty straightforward. The exams are hard, there's no other way to put it. Going to lecture helps a lot, as exam material is really whatever he talks about it in class. He even told us a few times specific concepts that would be on tests. Very good guy, relatable as well.

Fulkerson is definitely one of the best professors at UCSB. He is good at explaining accounting stuff clearly and teaching real-life experiences in his lectures. 3 hard exams, make sure you did Wiley practices and book questions. Go to his honor section if you can, you will learn a lot. A true maestro and I will go to his classes in the future.

136A . Fulkerson S D 3 Years Ago

Class is boring, but tests aren't too bad. Go to lecture and he'll basically give you test questions. Class is curved, but very lenient.

He is not there for you although he pretends to be.

Neither the brain-burned knowledge nor tough grading can stop you from loving this guy. He's so charming and fair, doing his best to make us the best.
