One 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

insane curve

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.

Very bad and rude as well.

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.
