Amazing lecturer, willing to help you with anything that you have trouble. Just make sure you're on top of the content and get help when needed. The TAs are also super helpful with homework and any questions that you have.

I loved Fulkerson, he makes lectures incredibly helpful and not boring. Section nor lecture is mandatory but both will help you do well in the class. The tests and homework are pretty damn hard but I feel like I learned a lot. He curves the entire class with the econ curve and lets you know where you stand after the 2nd midterm.

Amazing professor honestly. The material is difficult, but he does a good job explaining and making things clear. Make sure to do a lot of practice problems. Would love to take him again!

Scott is a nice guy. He explains the context well and is experienced in the accounting field himself. Readings really help you understand the concepts so remember to read 'em.

Prof Fulkerson is a really interesting guy here. He makes his lectures full of fun and knowledge. 3 exams in total, they are hard, no lie. But he will give you a lot of tips and some questions in lectures, so be careful.

Scott was easily my favorite professor at all of UCSB, especially in the Economics department. Yes his tests are hard, yes the homework is hard, but if you are in the accounting major then this class will teach you the sort of time you need to put in to succeed. He is extremely caring and for future students he does not post his lectures SO GO!!!

Professor Fulkerson is probably the best professor in the economics department. His lectures are really insightful and Fulkerson doesn't mind cracking a joke every now and then. I really enjoyed 3B and strongly encourage economic students to take his class.

Overall, Prof. Fulkerson is really chill and knows a lot about accounting. However, be prepared to put in the time for his classes, because the final exam for Econ 3B was difficult to say the least. Nevertheless, if you get the opportunity to take one of Prof. Fulkerson's classes, do it because you'll learn a lot about accounting and the concepts.

Fulkerson is a fantastic lecturer. He talks about his past experience in EY and that's actually interesting. There are three exams. The final is pretty hard and only around 10% of people can get an A. So, getting high scores in the first two is crucial. All important stuff is from lectures, he will tell you which part will be tested,

His lectures are super super super instructive along with many fun stories related to the knowledge or in his life. Clear course organization that if you follow his path, you won't fail this class. Mark my words. 10/10. Would take any of his accounting classes again.

Took Fulkerson this past fall q and was shocked by all the negative reviews. Truly a gem, especially in the con department. Attending lecture is important because he will often give exact answers to the test. Additionally, he makes the tests at the beginning of the the quarter so all of his lectures teach for the test. Class is graded on a curve :(

Attending lectures is useless and the section is useless. I went to office hours and he doesn't care about his students. Also, the TA's don't even explain correctly and always mess up on problems. He gives you hints to what is on the test but it's never even on the tests so don't bother writing it down.

I took this class in person after COVID. He did not care that a majority of his students had never attended a real lecture hall or taken a real test in person in college. He constantly told our class we were doing worse than the previous quarter which was online and hearing from those kids they had chegg to look up the test answers.

Took this class in Spring 2021. Scott is clear on what will be on the exams. 3 exams in total, worth 90% of the grades. All in multiple choices. U have to really know the material and practiced book problems to pass the exam. The class is curved, the average is around 70-80% for every exams. Lectures are not recorded, so must attend lectures.

Exams were fair as long as you take the time to study. Agree w other review to do well early for cushion. Really good at breaking down confusing concepts, which is pretty hard to do online. Content was kinda dull but lectures were fine (interesting stories & funny jokes). One of the best profs I've had so far, def would take him again.

Awesome professor gives entertaining lectures, impressive given acct. isn't the most energizing subject. Course was graded out of 1200 points: 350 * 3 tests + 150 for Wiley Plus homework. The final section was the most difficult, do well on early tests to give yourself a cushion for the final.

Professor Fulkerson is one of the best teachers I've had while at UCSB. His lectures were very concise and he rarely digressed. He also had some funny jokes and stories about his personal life and time at EY. His exams were fair and there were never any surprises. I don't usually go to office hours, but going to his were always insightful.

He randomly gives points to people have their camera on during zoom. BUT I have been experiencing allergic reactions on my face, and turning on camera would be the the last thing I want to do. Quite upset about that I attended every single lecture. He shares a lot of stories about EY that are related to the material to help you understand

Scott is a great teacher. The material itself may be boring sometimes, but he makes lectures as interesting as possible by interacting with students and giving his personal experiences in the field. Class is test heavy and they are a little tricky, but nothing ridiculous. The most important thing is doing the HW and practice problems.

Scott is a great guy, experienced in his field, and really cares about helping the students out. I think he did a great job managing online courses this quarter. Go to lecture, go to section, understand the homework/practice problems and you will be good to go.

Good lecturer who cares about the success of his students. Going to class is the move bc he lets you know specifics about exams. Tests are tricky, but if you genuinely understand the material they aren't too bad. Homework is tough but it really does help you understand. Overall chill, funny guy. Scott is a real one.
