I didn't like Mr. Tom at first but he grew on me. He is an amazing teacher and knows his stuff and is also very genuine. You need to put in the work and he is willing to help if you ask him. I didn't not do the best in his class, but I would still take his classes again!

Comment:
It is clear Fulton loves teaching economics, though the lectures get dry and I find it difficult to pay attention for the full 2 hour lecture... it is non stop talking. His tests are very difficult but allows you to have a "cheat" sheet which helps if you know what to put on it. He utilizes d2l quizzes & discussions and socrative for course marks.

Comment:
Fulton is a caring teacher, who truly enjoys teaching the material. But be warned that to get a good grade you will need to put in a lot of work. We had a total of 22 assignments, which took about 2-3 hours to complete. Although not all the assignments are for marks, if you want to do well, do ALL the assignments. Test averages were about 50-55%.

Comment:
Fulton Tom is an incredible economics teacher. His lectures are clear, focused, and clearly demonstrates his expertise in the field. Be warned that his class is not easy, and the homework assignments, while technically optional, are crucial to understanding the material, and similar questions will certainly be on the midterms and the final.

He is a distinguished professor who has done everything in his ability to teach his students an understanding of the economy. He gave you a lot of selective assignments to let you know the concept of the course. Even after class, he can answer your questions by email.

He gives very quality material to learn from. The slides, videos, lectures, assignments, all of them are super thorough. His tests are NOT an easy A whatsoever. You have to know the material inside out to get a good grade.

Fulton is a great teacher to learn from. He is informative, supportive, thorough and fair. Just as a note, if you do his optional presentation project, get ready to work. You can skip a mid-term of your choice if you do, but you still have to thoroughly learn midterm contents to complete assignments, ON TOP of the information for the presentation.

Tom is a kind person, but his final exam is definitely tough. You need to catch the chance to get as higher as possible from first two midterm exams.

This course single-handedly brought me up to speed on modern world issues (employment, trade, business, etc.). Fulton is not strict or tough- just academically principled. His materials and lectures give you everything you need to succeed if you put in the work. Visit him during office hours and he will give thorough answers to all your questions.

If you want to get a high GPA, DON'T TAKE HIS COURSE. If you really want to take his course, you should be able to study all the materials.

He is an amazing prof but his course is very difficult. If your major is Economics and you eager to work hard - he is your best choice. But if you need good GPA and/or don't really want to work hard, my advice is not to take his course.

Make sure you review all of you assignments and exercises before midterm and final, and think very carefully before you answer his questions.

Fulton really makes you work for your grade. His tests are very difficult. If you do all of his homework (Yes, the self tests and optional stuff too...) you will have no issue excelling in his class. His notes are the best I have ever received from any class I've ever taken. Don't take Fulton if you're not prepared to put in the effort to do well.

Fulton is pretty hilarious. Very nice guy. If you don't know what you're doing though, he is unafraid to call you out on it. Midterm and final are easy if you study for them, lots of kids fail because they don't study. He gives you straightforward guides though so just care about passing and you will.

My grades aren't in but I know for a fact I did bad in his class. However, I feel like I got the grade I deserve. His outlines are very clear on what he expects from you. He uploads checklists, practice exercises for every chapter, and practice tests . You get the grade you deserve with this guy. Lectures are kinda dry though. Pearson mandatory.
