Scott is the best possible accounting professor, he is super nice and very savvy in the material he covers. I would especially recommend this class due to the Simulations we do in class where he emulates a conversation with an actual CFO. However, the final portion of this class is self taught in the background during the sims which sucks.

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.

I liked my time with Scott. 132A was the only class I took with him, but I found it straightforward and educational. There are 2 tests in the course and no finals week exam. The rest of the grade is from HW and the audit simulations. I found the sims hard at first, but valuable in showing what a real audit is like. He's pretty funny too. SCOTT GOAT

Scott is wonderful! He's funny and uses his real life experience to explain different concepts that appear in his classes. I've taken him for 3 different courses and have always left delighted. He's my favorite accounting professor at UCSB. The tests are difficult but he outlines what will be on them. Other than that, the grading isn't that bad

He creates a massive amount of STRESS and WORK for the students. Usually, studying all his slides, you will ace the exam. But all his questions now are from Wiley Plus and the questions ridiculously difficult. For the final, I have to study all 8 chapters and practice at least 250 question/chap. He gave great lectures, but even greater stress!

Scott's a good teacher! He sets clear grading requirements and makes sure to focus on the things you actually need to know. And when the coronavirus situation caused UCSB to cancel classes, he handled the situation well and kept us posted throughout the entire process. Would recommend!

Many say Scott is tough, but he wants the best for his students. If you go to class, do the homework, and study ahead of time, you will succeed. He is very personable, knowledgable, funny, and good at teaching. I really think he has a bad rep for no reason. I loved his class and hope to take him again. He sets you up for success in future classes.

Took Fulkerson for 3b and just took him again for 136a. If you did well in 3a and 3b at UCSB, 136a will be a breeze. Fulkerson structures 136a very similarly to 3b so if you enjoyed that class, definitely take 136a with Fulkerson. He grades on a curve but it generally helps you. Attendance is optional but he gives test answers during class.

Really funny, good professor. Exams were mostly based off the slides he provides. However, I think since Econ 185 is an elective the curve should be closer to 75/25 A's and B's rather than 50/50.

Personable guy and good lecturer. However, just the slides & sections won't save you on the test (I made that mistake.) Very difficult class, curved up to department recommendation, which seems fair. Scott as a teacher is very chill, just beware of those exams. Study. And do the HW.

he loves the 67 joke

Scott was very personable, and I found his lectures effective and enjoyable. Although tests are hard, he gives you resources to be able to succeed in them. Definitely do the back-of-the-book problems until they are muscle memory, and you will succeed. I also found reading the textbook helpful. He does curve the class though.

Best professor I've had at this school so far. Scott is a great lecturer and he makes his expectations very clear at the beginning of the quarter. It is a difficult class, but if you put in the work, your grade will reflect that.

LOVE SCOTT!!! Best professor ever! Very difficult class tho…but it is curved!

This class was so much work for a pre-major class. Get ready to spend several hours every single week reading the textbook + doing the WileyPlus hw problems, which are extremely challenging (TAs sometimes get them wrong too) + doesn't even reflect questions on his difficult exams. !! He also imposes a curve so that only 10% of students get an A !!!

The course is hard content-wise: you have to CRITICALLY understand the concepts. HOWEVER, this class added A LOT OF UNNECESSARY stress. He structures the class where only 10% of students get As, so you are COMPETING AGAINST OTHERS. I haven't seen any other professor in the Econ department do this (even though he says it's a department requirement).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
