136BC . Hulme J L 2 Months Ago

If you go to lectures, take notes, and read/skim the textbook getting an A in these classes is very straightforward. She simplifies hard concepts and only tests questions she has shown in class. However, if you struggle with FRQs steer clear as 75% of your test grades are based on them.

Prof Hulme is one of the best accounting professors at UCSB. She makes complex accounting stuff seem simple and doable. She lays out exactly what is expected of her students, and as long as you follow her instructions and complete hw you're set for a good grade. She's very patient in her OH, and it is a great resource for career advice as well

No clear guidelines on how to succeed in course. No practice exams or questions given to prep for exam and discourages using the textbook as a study tool. Speeds through slides, too much content in such a short time. A LOT of HW on WP. I have met folks that failed her class. She's nice but even peers warn you to steer clear, now I am warning you.

I took 136B and C with her and it's tough but doable. Go to lecture pay attention, do the homework, and practice the in class handouts over and over to prep for test as I believe 2/3 of the test is the short answer that she usually takes from those. She is a bit abrasive when answering questions at times, but class is doable.

Took Econ 136 B&C with prof.Hulme. She is literally one of the BEST lecturers in UCSB, making those hard accounting concepts more understandable and interesting. Her class is full of helpful examples and the test is straightforward. She is also kind and helpful. After class, she never get tired of questions, and really think for her students.

Hulme is an amazing professor and really cares for her students. I took her for both 136B and C and both times the test format was the same so if you can master it, it is an easy A. Her lectures were always incredibly organized and well-formatted and so long as you go to class and have the Free Response handouts down you will do great in the class.

Prof Hulme is easily a top tier professor for this Econ/Acct dept. tests are very straightforward and completely reflect material taught in class. 85% tests, 15% homework. PRACTICE IN CLASS WORKSHEETS! She is caring and is always willing to help students in office hours and through the class forum. I am grateful to have her again for 136C.

Although I took Professor Hulme online, her lectures were very thorough and understandable. She gave many examples and walked through them with you. While the tests were difficult, they were all on content she taught and seemed reasonable.

Shes completely disconnected from students. Theres no compromising with the test schedule (even if you have an interview) because shes so paranoid about students cheating. You can expect to arrive late to your next class as well since shes obsessive about checking student IDs. Exams are free response heavy and dont prepare you for CPA exam.

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.

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.
