Very poorly set up. It seems as though the TAs and Professor do not interact with each other much at all. Only grades in class are quizzes and exams. 40% are quizzes which are M and F, and exams are worth 20% each. 2 Midterm, 1 Final. After enough students complaining, he is now only dropping 4 out of the 20+ quizzes he gives, and gives practice quizzes for weeks current chapter. Grade is curved to being. 86% is an A, 52% is a C.

Content of this class was him talking about historical quotes and things that are only slightly related to econ, his different vacations he's been on, and oh, bullet trains.

The only pro he has is he occasionally says something funny. Cons - Tangents every lecture - Lecture Notes barely align with textbook - Quizzes do not align with stuff he's talked about during class - TAs are not nice at all - Everything is on lockdown browser - Oh, and did I mention bullet trains?

Switch professors if possible. If not possible, try and supplement his lectures with textbook reading as textbook is significantly more helpful than him talking nonsense about bullet trains.
