The first week of class he took attendance but then stopped. He's a nice professor but you won't learn anything about accounting because his lectures make you want to take a nap.

The problem is he can have all those flaws, he served the country, came back to school and has every single degree UTPA can offer.

I am not an accounting major. This class was a requirement for my major. I am not going to lie this was the hardest class Ive ever taken. I am a 3.9 student so I work really hard to maintain straight As. I would study three days straight for the exams (on top of doing the homework and readings regularly) and I still managed to score below an A

I like professor Bello. I have taken 2301 and currently taking 2302. You have hw in Connect and 5 exams which are graded heavily. His whatsapp group was extremely helpful for communication, but unfortunately someone always has to ruin it so now we don't have it. Don't slack off AT ALL.

Five major exams, Connect weekly homework assignments may take between 1-3hrs to complete, but you have enough time to work on them (1week). His grading criteria are clear and firm.
