136A . Fulkerson S D 18 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

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.

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.

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.
