CollegeIf you go to lectures, take notes, and read/skim the textbook getting an A in these classes is very straightforward. She simplifies hard concepts and only tests questions she has shown in class. However, if you struggle with FRQs steer clear as 75% of your test grades are based on them.
Prof Hulme is one of the best accounting professors at UCSB. She makes complex accounting stuff seem simple and doable. She lays out exactly what is expected of her students, and as long as you follow her instructions and complete hw you're set for a good grade. She's very patient in her OH, and it is a great resource for career advice as well
No clear guidelines on how to succeed in course. No practice exams or questions given to prep for exam and discourages using the textbook as a study tool. Speeds through slides, too much content in such a short time. A LOT of HW on WP. I have met folks that failed her class. She's nice but even peers warn you to steer clear, now I am warning you.
I took 136B and C with her and it's tough but doable. Go to lecture pay attention, do the homework, and practice the in class handouts over and over to prep for test as I believe 2/3 of the test is the short answer that she usually takes from those. She is a bit abrasive when answering questions at times, but class is doable.
Took Econ 136 B&C with prof.Hulme. She is literally one of the BEST lecturers in UCSB, making those hard accounting concepts more understandable and interesting. Her class is full of helpful examples and the test is straightforward. She is also kind and helpful. After class, she never get tired of questions, and really think for her students.
Hulme is an amazing professor and really cares for her students. I took her for both 136B and C and both times the test format was the same so if you can master it, it is an easy A. Her lectures were always incredibly organized and well-formatted and so long as you go to class and have the Free Response handouts down you will do great in the class.
