136A . Fulkerson S D 10 Months Ago

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.

He is not there for you although he pretends to be.

Neither the brain-burned knowledge nor tough grading can stop you from loving this guy. He's so charming and fair, doing his best to make us the best.

Everything is great about Scott. Just wish we could see which test questions we got wrong.

Loved this professor! He is super nice and very accessible during office hours. His lectures were interesting and he gave lots of real-world examples from his years of working at EY. Very clear grading criteria and the curve in 136a helped.

Took Fulkerson for both 3A and 136A, and he was great both times. Fulkerson cares about his students' success in class and career as well. His tests are a bit tricky, but people can still get As, so you can too. 10/10 recommended

I had Scott for 3B and 136A, getting A's in both. Here's how to do it: Go to every lecture b/c he says what's not on test, don't lose silly points on homework, and study for tests by doing the end of chapter HW problems on Wiley (sends out answers). Tricky exams, but they are fair. If you see ever see his name, take the class. Sarcastic & funny

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.

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.

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,
