Comment:

Fulco is a ball buster and if you don't put in the effort you will do poorly. No homework, easy assignments if you don't procrastinate. Do the readings and speak up in class and she'll love you. If you skip class you have to write a 2 pg paper on why so if you can't commit don't sign up

Comment:

Fulco might seem strict at first but she's awesome. You have to get to know her and she plays favorites ALL THE TIME. So be a teacher's pet and get on her good side. If you talk in her class you'll get yelled at. Don't sit in the back of class, she likes the kids who sit in the front (at least in my case). The class was cake for doing nothing.

Comment:

Fulco is awesome. Her inconvenient truths seminar is great. You have to do all the work but she doesn't demand too much and although she grades though on essays (no exams in this class) it only makes you a better writer. Can't BS essays in this class either. Class is fun and interesting and you will learn a lot.

Comment:

Great teacher! Assignments/Lectures mirror exam. Might take several hours to prepare for class but do it, even if shes not calling on people. Strict class participation policy unfortunately favors quantity to quality. Some discussions suffered and took us away from the material. TOUGH grader on exams, but generally fair. Her opinion of you matters.

Comment:

If you haven't had Professor Fulco before or don't know her reputation, she is a no nonsense teacher. If she knows you're not getting your work done she will embarrass you in front of the class. But she is a great professor and you will learn a lot if you do your work. And DONT MISS CLASS. Very fair grader; unless she doesn't like you (so read).

Comment:

Professor Fulco's classes are no cakewalk, but you will learn a lot. She is extremely helpful and it definitely pays to go to her office hours. Very nice in person, but can be intimidating in class (she cold calls if no one responds.) So stay on top of the material.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES! She's extremely unfair. She picks favorites early on in the semester and no matter what you do, she'll give you a terrible grade if you're not one of them. She embarrasses people in class for entertainment and will flunk your exams if she doesn't like your "phrasing" no matter how well you know your stuff. Mean spirited

Comment:

You better be on top of your stuff. The class was interesting becasue she taught me a lot but you can not slack off on the assignments. She often does not know what she doesnt want until she sees it, so make sure you reach out for help. She's often very busy, but seems willing to help. Use the TA's and her as much as possible.

Yet another excellent public policy professor: Demanding and challenging, yet very clear about expectations and work requirements and a fair grader. Also is a great ally to have.

Comment:

People either love her or hate her. She'll probably feel the same about you. If you're in the former group, you'll have a highly knowledgable teacher and strong ally on your side. As someone else mentioned, this class is about a million hours of work, but I found it interesting and well worth it.

Class requires a LOT of work- I was excited about it at first but is basically taking up my life. She hates our class, too.

Comment:

She does not encourage discussion, bores the topic at hand, and does not strive to make connections with her students. Also, she tends to pick favorites and has a bad habit of picking on students if they're not up to her expectations

Comment:

She is very cocky, puts on a tough act, and intimidating. Frankly, she gets on my nerves. I did learn alot from the class, and wished someone else taught it. However she is a good teacher, I just don't like her.

Comment:

She's the type of teacher who hates a paper but still gives it an A. so if you want to get a good grade without having to learn all that much, then take the class. Also she's really intimidating and will probably call you out in class at LEAST once just to embarrass you.
