ECON136B . Hulme J L 4 Years Ago

Professor Hulme has been the best professor I have ever had at UCSB. She is very easy to talk to and so smart. I had her for B and C: if you come to class, pay attention, and do her practice problems you will be fine; I think her tests are super fair (challenging but only on material she taught). By the far the nicest and most caring professor.

She really cares about explaining the concepts and using good examples. Will give great handout and HW; she explained her handout questions very carefully. Offer 1% of the total grades as EC if you show up for every lecture. Never test you on the things she doesn't go through in the lecture and slides. Do ur handout and u'll be fine.

Hulme is a great professor. She has a ton of knowledge in accounting and can explain the material with the utmost clarity. She gives a ton of practice examples and her test often looks a lot like these examples, no big surprises. Go to class, she will work through problem and give EC opportunities. Yes her class is challenging, thats accounting..

Solid teaching. The test is not hard but can be tricky. Also, she has this unfair policy that if your test is graded wrong, regrade will only be considered if its more than 5 points. 5 points might not be much, but have your fingers crossed for an attentive grader.

I think Professor Hulme is very approacheable, she gave amazing lecture, and she will prepare you for future CPA test. Her test are super easy, just follow her handouts , and you can for sure get A in the class. (there are students in my class got over than 100% on her tests.

Prof. Hulme is one of my favorite professors. Her clear and concise explanations help not only to memorize the accounting concepts but also to understand the logic behind them. Her lectures are very organized and helpful. Exams are pretty straightforward if you practice in-class problems and do homework. I highly recommend taking her classes!

Feels like an overbearing high school teacher. Test questions are not hard but tricky.

Hulme is dope. Exams are exactly like handouts reviewed in class. If you do all of the handout problems, homework, and brief exercises with understanding WHY you take each step, you're golden. CAUTION: 2/3 of weight of exams is on free response and she is critical. One small mistake and you lose huge points. Tons of extra credit

Easily one of the best lecturers. Really knowledgeable and gives straightforward and thorough explanations that helps you understand the material well. As long as you do problems clearly the way she teaches it and review all the practice she gives, you'll do well in her classes. Chances for extra credit if you attend lecture and listen for it.

Professor Hulme is an amazing professor. Her lectures, explanations, and exams are very straightforward and organized. As long as you pay attention in lecture, practice the in-class problems, and maintain good format in your answers, you should fare well. She is also incredibly kind and very willing to help students with academic and career stuff!

If you guys want to get a good grade and save gpa, I suggest u guys to take other professor's 136 classes. To be honest, she may be a good and nice guy, but her 136 classes are not friendly.

This prof is kind of hard. In her class, the grade would not be curved. It is hard to get a good grade. if you wanna get a C, you have to get 72% of the total score. Do not take her classes. Cuz I really want u to get a good grade. avoid her.

1. She has her own sassy ATTITUDE 2. A LOT of extra credit opportunities 3. Midterm 1 easy, Midterm 2 failing, Final easy 4. Well organized lecture, clear about what will be tested 5. GET ready for her class since she is super smart, she passed all CPA exams in a week :)

Her lecture is not boring and do teach you what will be on the test. The practice had in class will be what occurs in test. Although her un curved grading criteria seems strict but at last, it comes out the rational distribution of grades. my friends said she is condescending like she said she passed the 4 cpa tests in a month but that's ok for me.

She is intelligent, hardworking and knowledgeable. She encourages class participation, wants students to do well and challenges them. If you take her honor section you'll enjoy getting to know her. She is open to feedback (she reads the evaluations and takes them into consideration). The WP HW is very helpful. It was a pleasure to have her twice.

Good Professor. Her class is very straightforward, if you do the reading and the in-class handouts you will do great. She is helpful during office hours and is always willing to answer questions. She also offers a boost from B+ to A- if you attend all the lectures and are right on the cusp. Overall a very good professor!

Hulme is fine in that she sticks to the material and follows the powerpoint. But she has 2 policies that simply don't make sense to me. First, she doesn't curve which is flat out stupid. She also has a stupid wiley policy that makes doing homework frustrating and stressful. Overall she does the minimum. I'd take Lisa Gray or Harmon instead.

Nice Professor, goes through some practice problem in the lecture which is helpful for the exams! She tried her best to explain the questions from students, it's really helpful! I would like to take her 136c!

Homework: 15%, 2 Midterms: 50% and Final: 35%. Tests are 1/3 multiple choice and 2/3 short answers. For multiple choice read the textbook and for short answer practice the in-class assignments and problems on Wiley. Taking her again for 136C.

136B . Hulme J L 7 Years Ago

The material is a bit harder than 136A, but definitely doable. What made this class difficult was the fact that Hulme made the tests very long. Professor Hulme is has 2 hours of office hours a week and rarely accepts appointments. Hulme does not make it clear how the class will be graded. She actually says things like "I can grade however I like" .

Prof Hulme is condescending and contradicting. She does this thing where she will post an example exam (midterm/final) on Wiley a day before the exam which are considerably harder than the example problems she lectures with. She won't tell you whether or not the class is going to be curved and what the averages are. Avoid her and save your GPA.

Unclear and doesn't understand how students learn. Continuously uses textbook definitions (doesn't explains difficult concepts in a way students would understand) and doesn't give easy to understand or realistic examples for concepts. Goes over example problems in class too fast. Makes the tests hard. Only accounting professor that I've hated
