ECON3B . Fulkerson S D 5 Years Ago

Props to this professor who could turn basic question into world's most difficult to understand what he's even asking of you. Gives you extra information in an already long text for you to cherry pick the information you need all within 1hr and 15 mins for 50 questions. Also has a monotone to put you to asleep in lecture- an added bonus to weed out

It's true, Fulkerson's class is not easy. Go to lecture. he's very thorough, organized and good at explanations. He tells you what is important or not from the textbook. Do well in Wiley hw as extra points can differentiate you. Read the textbook ahead of lecture & go to CLAS! Be proactive, you'll be fine. MT1 46/50, MT2 45/50, Final 79/87

Professor Fulkerson was my favorite econ professor to date. Accounting lectures can be boring, but professor Fulkerson keeps them interesting with real world insight from his experience in public accounting. The exams are difficult, so read the book and attend lecture because he usually gives hints on what to study for the exams.

Professor Fulkerson was a great 3B professor. I had him and he made me want to attend lecture. Even though accounting isn't the most entertaining course, he made the experience enjoyable. Attendance was not mandatory but he would tell you exactly what you needed to know for the exams. Do ORION and the HW from the textbook. Great in office hours too

Had Fulkerson for 3B and now I have him for 136A. He's a really chill professor that genuinely cares about his students. He's a little bit more rigid with grading in 3B but he does try his best to give out as many good grades as he can. Also, go to lecture because he'll tell you specific things you need/don't need to know for exams.

Scott was a really cool professor. Straight forward, to the point but also is funny. Important to attend lectures as he will go over certain problems that will be on the exams. The exams for 3B are hard, but they are designed to ensure you really understand the material. He gives good advice about your career as well as things to do at UCSB.

Scott was cool. material is kinda boring because its accounting and class was in Harold Frank so I often skipped. Kinda regret it because I liked his chill vibe and he was lowkey really funny. Class can get dull though so just make sure you re-read everything on Wiley if you doze off. Do the Orion practice test questions!

Super great professor. Class is pretty hard so try to do best on homework and first midterm. Because midterm 2 and the final will ruin your grade in the class. Super nice professor highly recommend.

Even though he's a bit monotone in lecture, he is honestly one of the nicest, most caring professors I've had. He understands that students are stressed under the curve and does his best to make every student feel relaxed and able to to succeed. Midterms and final are super hard, need to know everything perfectly just to do average but is expected.

Fulkerson is dope. Tests are multiple choice and challenging. You either know it or you dont. Fulkerson cares about his students and he is approachable. He will thoroughly answer your questions. The material is more difficult than 3A because it gets more specific. Do the end of chapter homework material, as itll reinforce concepts.

Fulkerson truly cares about the success of his students and gives valuable career/life advice. Hard material but he is very accessible in office hours and listens to students concerns. By far one of the best, most caring, professors in the Econ department. Has turned accounting into a much more enjoyable class!

Fulkerson is a caring and thorough professor. He was very helpful and approachable during office hours. Some question on the test were tricky, so I would recommend coming after the test to check on them just in case they pop up on the final.

One of the best Econ Accounting professors in UCSB. His midterms and final are much easier. Students who attend lecture and sections are expected to get better grades.

He is very well spoken, charming and respectful. He is always willing to help and answer questions; it is obvious he cares about students. Tests are a bit difficult but not too terrible. I would definitely take another class with him again.

Tests are tricky because he twisted the words and asks some critical thinking questions, but every econ test here is tricky so I don't blame him. Overall great professor and very clear about what he is teaching

Great Professor! His lectures are clear and he answers questions in details. Tests are all MC but it may be longer than you expect. Chill prof but not boring at all. Btw, he likes watching The Bachelor !

He is amazing and cares about his students. He tries his best to get people into the major and good interactive lectures. The tests are hard because the economics department imposes a curve, which is not his fault. I would recommend having him as your professor.

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.

Professor Fulkerson is a really good professor. He worked at E & Y so he is able to give students lots of insight about potential careers and the field in general. He gives really constructive responses to academic questions and he will put effort into email responses. His lectures are not boring since he breaks down all the technical stuff well.
