High expectations: yes. Great teacher: yes. As for the "dorky" comment, I don't know how accurate it is but I suspect he is the type of guy that stays up all night playing video games in his moms basement. An enjoyable guy overall.

He's a good teacher, and very approachable. As for his social life, it is his own business. This is a cite for rating their teaching ability people, come-on!

Well the class seemed interesting when the outline was passed out. However the outline said we would be doing mini audits. We haven't done one. We had a 1/2 hour quiz every week worth 5% each. The outline also said there would be no final. Now we have a huge cumulative final. Is this allowed during class time? Thats what final dates are for.
I'm a transfer student and got good grades in Accounting in the previous university. Then I came to TRU and took Bell BBUS 221. IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!! Bell just gave me a D !!! Bell dunno how to teach and EXAM IS EXTRELY HARD!!! I regret taking BBUS 221 Bell BBUS 221 in summer. Avoid BELL !!!

He is a good instructor. His exams are easy as long as you attend the class and revise the notes before the exam.
great teacher!

greatest accounting teacher that ever lived
Great teacher!!! Especially if you find you aren't interested in accounting, but need to take a class... get him!!! Entertaining as well!
Just choose him if you wanna get an A+.
Cute teacher that is a very creative teacher to keep the students interested. trys to make sure all of the students understand and is willing to go out of his way to help. A teacher that you can enjoy.
Super awesome teacher pay attention and do well. I like the guy especialy that he dresses like my grampa.
Tony makes acounting seem easy. He dreses hipper than my grandpa.He sucks at tubing. Video intraludes nice feature of class.
Probably the most respectful and fair prof that TRU has. Tony sticks to the course guide, no surprises. He provides plenty of examples in class, and follows up with homework to emphasize the lesson. TRU is very fortunate to have Tony as part of their faculty. Outstanding - highly recommend.
Excellent teacher. Enjoyed his class. Showed enthusiasm and knowledge.
He is the BEST teacher I have had at TRU. He makes Accounting so much better. I dont think I could have passed with any other teacher. He's so funny and friendly!
What an excellent teacher! Why is it all the sessionals at TRU are the best teachers...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
best teacher at TRU!!no doubt about that!!he's always there to help and makes accounting actually interesting..doesn't try to trick students and gives out good marks..wish there was more teachers like tony!!!
Really Great Teacher! He's helpful and approachable. His tests aren't easy but they are fair. If you do your homework, which is nearly every class, you'll do fine. I'd take more classes with Tony if I could.
Amazing teacher, probably one of the best at TRU. Answers questions directly, goes through relevant examples in class, provides lots of practice for students, and has a great personality. The only bad thing is that you may expect other teachers at TRU to be like him.. unfortunately, most are the exact opposite.
Great prof! Very clear lectures. If you go to the class and do the homework assignments you will have have no problem getting a high grade. No surprises on exams, nicely structured class. Like the video at the beginning of every class.
i really liked tony bell as a teacher, he knows accounting isnt fun, and made an effort to make it fun and exciting. and i found it really easy to understand what he was teaching
Tony is a great teacher! He's very approachable, knowledgeable and very helpful. I would highly recommend him. He gives lots of extra examples and PRACTICAL work to give you lots of practice. Accounting is practice not just theory as some profs should learn!
He was great! made accounting seem easy and manageable. I was looking forward to his classes most the time.
best.teacher.ever
Best teacher ever! so helpful, would do anything for his students, love the homework for every class, super fair in marking. Super funny guy, keeps people listeneing even if they hate accounting aka me. Love the videos at the beginning of class. I wish tony taught every class I have
Kewl profesor. Good teacher. My only profesor I have ever seen on youtube.
Awesome prof. SO helpful. Made accounting fun and I wanted to go to class!!
Tony bell, very good professor, down to earth, one of my fav., highly recommended... u'll learn so much in class ,prior taking his class i failed accounting course 3120, but his way of teaching is amazing and very useful, learnt a lot... thanks Tony
best ever teacher I had in TRU. You will get A if u only attend his classes. very helpfull in course material.
Amazing as a teacher, felt stupid for buying a text book when i've never opened it even once. Still got an A+ just listening and doing all assignments. Plus he posts vids online so you could easily do some classes online.
Cant say enough good about this guy. Super nice and very clear! Explains everything very well then upload videos to watch again later, amazing! Explains what will be on midterms and the final and doesn't try to trick students. Cant believe I hardly touched my textbook. Amazing teacher! Why cant TRU get more teachers like this?
Hands down best accounting teacher at TRU! You can tell he is truly passionate about teaching and accounting. He always takes time to go over the material multiple times until you understand it. Also has a top-notch moodle page, complete with youtube videos that go over every chapter of the course!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
He rocks! I wish he taught all my classes! He gets to the heart of the topic and then gives tons of questions to practice. He has created videos on various topics often starting out with material he lectured on. Great for review. Look forward to studying with him again.
Very good professor. Does in class examples for all chapters, and midterms and final are very similar to those questions done in class. He is an excellent prof that makes class entertaining, however, he expects you to know your stuff when it comes to midterms and finals. You get tested on everything at least once, and most chapters are on the final
Amazing instructor. Clarifies the difficulties, makes you understand stuff easily.
Best prof I've you could possibly have at TRU. The class wasn't very easy but he helps his students so much and helps them succeed!
The best prof at TRU, explains everything like you know nothing so its super clear and you wont get lost. Dont be late. Tons of videos on youtube so if you miss anything you can always go there. Exams are fair, nothing you've never seen.
Tony is a fantastic prof; certainly one of the best one's I've had. There are six "midterms" which means you're writing about one every two weeks. Sounds like a lot, but better than the alternative. There is a TON of material and Tony explains it in such a way that it really sticks with you! His tests are reasonable. Definitely take his courses!
Very much enjoyed taking his class via distance / online learning. I've taken a lot of online courses, both at the graduate and undergraduate level and unequivocally found Mr. Bell to be the best instructor yet. He gives detailed feedback and is the most progressive when it comes to incorporating tech into the curriculum.
Best teacher ever and his teaching skills are such that you can easily score As in your course.
Absolutely one of the best profs at TRU. Tony truly cares about his students and is always willing to answer questions or talk outside of class, the lectures are super engaging and his videos will save your life. Put in the work and do your homework and your grade will show it! Will take again without hesitation!
Great professor! This is the second time I have taken class with him. He is knowledgeable and professional. He makes the test reasonable. His classes are interesting. I would say the best prof. In accounting department at TRU!!
Tony is the best teacher I have ever had at TRU. He is very clear with what youll be tested on and explains material extremely well. The work isnt easy, but if you go to class youll pass no problem. Dont be late to his classes though or he wont let you in.
Tony is, hands down, the best teacher on this planet. His videos are amazing and they are always accessible so if you missed a class you can watch a video and it will all be covered. He gives a lot of homework, and the answers with it - great materials for revision. All resources are available, (the textbook is free!!) so he expects high from you.
Tony is an amazing prof, he is very clear when he goes through his problems. His online videos are very helpful and he tells you exactly what he expects for exams. Take him when you have the chance and you will not regret it.
Bell made Accounting interesting and fun. He is always willing to help and his videos are SO useful!
Amazing professor! Very responsive and uses clear examples.
Tony is an amazing prof. Just watch the videos and practice. Attendance is not mandatory, however, he gives homework every class which contains marks. Midterms are easy but beware of the final. It is hard. You might do really bad if you do not practice.
I've never taken a class with this prof but i've watched his online accounting videos and he's a life saver. Learned more from him than my actual prof. He' such a great teacher that i had to leave a review here,i wish i had tony for my accounting class at york university. This is how profs should be
Videos help alot! Having homework due at the minute the class starts for every class is kind of annoying. His practice questions are much easier then his midterms or finals. Midterms and finals also seem to long/difficult.
This was one of the most genuinely interesting classes I've taken. Each lecture is a student presented case study, so there's a fair bit of reading. Two case study reports and the final exam (another case study) make up the vast majority of your grade, and he marks them very holistically, not with a rubric or anything.
Tony is the man. By far my favourite professor during my time at TRU. Grades fairly, allows time for questions, does everything he can to help you, and is genuinely a good guy. I had him for 4250 and 2250 which are easier classes but he still goes above and beyond to make sure everybody knows the material. Awesome lectures too.
Tony Bell is on of the best professors in TRU I bet. He is very knowledgeable and he tries to make concepts as easy as possible. He knows how to grab attention of each student and keep it for the whole 3 long hours. Never felt bored during his class! His marking is very clear and he discusses everything prior to exams. Want more courses with him!
Tony is a hero. For students, he is also very approachable. Your thoughts will be very clear in his class. His teaching is very strict and careful. Don't think about being lazy in class because you have no reason to reject his enthusiasm.
He is best Professor at TRU. Very Organized
Mr. Tony is one of the best teacher I ever had. His way of teaching is simply the best. He teach me Financial Accounting and I got A+ and I have never studied accounting before taking his class, His lectures are very simplified that even a beginner can ace in his class.
Makes accounting Easy! Would recommend 10/10
Super nice guy, but doesn't actually teach. just posts the videos he recorded years ago and lets you figure it out on your own. When I asked for more practice questions he simply said "I don't have any more" Whole grade is based off of 2 midterms, a final and the homework. The tests were wayyyy harder than the homework and not enough time given
It doesn't matter how difficult the topic is, he makes it easy to understand.
I'm not in Professor Bell's class, however his lectures were very helpful for me. I was struggling in financial accounting. After going over his lectures, I understand accounting. Now I'm excelling in financial accounting thanks to Professor Bell. Thank you Sir!
Hands down Tony is the best accounting professor at TRU. If you can take a course with him DO IT!
Tony Bell is very objective in giving grades. His youtube videos are really helpful in getting a high grade.
He is the best you can get
He is the best professor ever.
He is one of the best Professors that has taught me. He has online videos that would help you in his course. His classes are usually very interactive and he jokes a lot as well. He usually tells you what he is looking for in his exams and midterms. One can easily get all the grades in the course. Wish I can take another course with him.
Don't get fooled by the rating, the fist two midterms go by smoothly and is relatively very easy if put in a little bit of practice but he dose not prepare you for the final that is way harder than you think and the questions are tricker. He does tell you that you don't need to come to class and his videos are enough but they are not.
Any upcoming first semester students, do not worry about Tony Bell. He is one of the best professors you'll encounter at TRU. Just solve the exercises in the workbook and you are 99% prepped for 2 of the midterms and the finals. Best of Luck!
An amazing professor, storyteller, and you will learn with him. I greatly respect this man's patience. Take him, he's in my top 3 professor's at TRU.
As someone with an accounting background, Its frustrating that he focused too much on unnecessary formatting, like where to place the “$” sign or tiny cut marks, instead of emphasizing practical applications. It felt like style mattered more than substance. I would appreciate more focus on concepts, analysis, rather than minor presentation rules.
I honestly don't understand how the university keeps someone like this on staff. It's unbelievable that students are paying tuition for this kind of teaching who teaches formatting not accounting in AI era.
He constantly talks about his YouTube channel and tells students to rewatch his videos instead of actually teaching in class. It feels like we're paying tuition just to increase his online views, not to receive real instruction. Really hope the university takes a closer look at this course.
He teaches like a robot, no real connection to emotions, no effort to engage, and no sign that he actually cares whether students understand the material. Everything feels mechanical and impersonal.
You could replace him with a pre-recorded video and it would make no difference. Definitely not the kind of teaching you expect when you're paying university tuition.
Jeff would've been a much better prof, at least the class would feel alive. This one felt robotic and dull from start to finish.
Same content every term same videos, same exam format, nothing new or engaging. Felt like a total waste of tuition.
We're not paying tuition to sit through old YouTube videos. Nothing new, nothing engaging just the same recycled content every term.
Do yourself a favor and take this course with Kent instead, you'll actually learn something and feel engaged.
This professor showed no empathy at all. My son was ill, and instead of understanding, he still graded me poorly despite of talking to him.
I wish I never took his classes, too robotic!
Same videos, same exams nothing engaging or new. If you can, take this course with Kent instead; he actually teaches.
Totally lifeless class same old videos and exams every term. No flexibility or empathy at all. Do yourself a favor and take it with Jeff instead.
No energy, no understanding, and zero connection with students. Everything felt repetitive, didnt feel learning worthwhile.
He has zero connection with students. Just dont waste your money!
Just dont, take it with Kent!
Didn't feel the need to learn from his lectures, everything's already on his free YouTube channel. No point paying tuition for what's available online.
Just dont, will likely make things boring!
Fails students, just take it with Kent!
