CollegeOne of my worst experiences at Santa Barbara. Not only was the professor not good at all in teaching valuation and evaluating companies (kept talking about his audit experience even though this course has nothing to do with audit) but he is a horrible grader as well. I scored top of class in both the exams, had 100% in all home work and I was given
Scott is the man. I got an F on the final and still ended with an A-. The reason was probably because we had the best presentation. That out of the way, he wont follow you on instagram so that hurts. Other than that cant find anything bad to say about him.
Scott is a great guy! Hes one of the chillest accounting professors who is always willing to talk to students about anything. He does make his exams hard but the class is curved so it ends up being okay. Get to know him, pay attention in class, and PARTICIPATE! The only thing that sucks about this class is the project if you get a bad group.
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
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.
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.
