Where to start lol. This prof got removed halfway through the course because of his racist comments and complete lack of disrespect to his students. It's unclear if he will be fired, but it's likely. The very first class, he did not introduce himself, instead he sat with his feet on the desk, and played a video for 30 min or so. He would pause and give some comments. He did this every class. Afterward he would talk about general finance news and throw quips of whatever comes to mind. This was the lecture. He did not stand throughout the lectures. He went over 5-6 slides of the 70 slides, without even downloading the slides. 70% of lecture time was him basically making witty remarks about a student's question or what they were eating or where did they go to high-school. He worked so hard to try to get a banter going with a student, so that he could look funny, indifferent, cool. It was like something out of high school. There was literally no lecture. We left the class feeling dumber. He also "joked" that you would get an A if you bought him coffee, ice cream, or bought some of his nephew's little league merchandise. He actually opened their website and showed us. He also "joke" complained that the class was too long and wanted to leave. He also skipped on some classes without notice. To be fair, he did seem to be very lenient with grades. I believe he planned on giving an easy A which in his mind justified everything. I cannot say for sure whether he is knowledgeable in his field as we never got to see it. He was thankfully removed 3 weeks into the course thanks to the bravery of the students who came forward.
