136C . Hulme J L 13 Days Ago

The grade distribution is 25% midterm one, 25% midterm two, 35% final, 15% homework. The homework is due before you even learn about the chapter which doesn't make sense at all. The tests are really similar to the handouts, but the time is TIGHT on midterm 2. If you get a bad grade on one test, you're screwed. No curve!

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

136C . Hulme J L 10 Months Ago

Professor Hulme is probably the best Accounting professor at UCSB. She should be teaching more classes, including the lower divisions, I wish that I had taken her classes sooner! Her lectures are good and easy to follow, she does a good job explaining things. Tests are challenging but very doable since she covers every type of question in class.

136B . Hulme J L 10 Months Ago

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.

136BC . Hulme J L 10 Months Ago

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.

136C . Hulme J L 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Took 136B and 136C with Hulme and it was not a pleasant experience. Could seem pretentious at times. Lectures were okay but pretty boring and listening could be difficult especially when the materials get harder in 136C.

136BC . Hulme J L 2 Years Ago

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.

136C . Hulme J L 2 Years Ago

Prof Hulme is a great professor. A bit of a different experience than her 136B since we were online for a half a quarter, but given the situation she did a great job teaching us. Very clear lectures and access to some critical extra credit opportunities that really help if you are really close to the next letter grade

It's so refreshing taking this class after having Harmon for 136A & 136B. We are only halfway through the quarter, but I can already tell Hulme is a spectacular professor, explains concepts clearly and goes over examples. Tests are difficult, but accurately reflect what you are lectured on. I wish I had gotten the chance to take her classes sooner.

ECON136B . Hulme J L 3 Years Ago

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.

ECON136C . Hulme J L 4 Years Ago

Professor Hulme gives amazing lectures! If you want to really learn something, take her classes. Even though her exams are tough, they are extremely fair. Shes not only a professor to her students, but also a mentor. Ask her questions and seek for advice! Practice her handouts in classes 5times, then you will get an A!( I only did 3times so... )

ECON136B . Hulme J L 4 Years Ago

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.

Fair exams, decently challenging

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.

Well, what can I say? She is totally a GPA killer. Do not take her class if you want to keep your GPA high. You can't make mistakes if you want to get an A, because you can only lose 75 out of 1000 points. Take other professors if you have other options.

ECON136B . Hulme J L 5 Years Ago

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.

136B . Hulme J L 5 Years Ago

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!
