Professor Enakoutsa cares deeply about his students, he wants to make sure his students understand the material but at the same time moves very quickly through material (understandably so, there's a lot). There are quizzes every Friday which can get pretty daunting on top of the great amount of homework assigned which was often a week or two behind the material we were learning in class. He's a very entertaining lecturer and is very invested in what he's teaching often leading to him teaching topics that aren't pertinent to the class though I appreciate the detail for future classes.

he’s like so passionate about teaching that he’s terrible at teaching. his accent wasn’t terrible tbh, but his handwriting does get hard to read. i think what’s worse is koffi’s attitude. he’s not even passive aggressive at this point, just aggressive to the point even my ta calls him out in front of the class and the prof calling him unprofessional and rude. i had colin as my ta and he was amazing shoutout to him. after the first two classes i stopped paying attention to him during lecture and only attended to hear announcements. you will survive just going by the textbook, i survived because my friend goes to ucsd and was taking the same class and he sent me his teachers clean simple notes. his homework is ridiculous and i found no benefit in it when it came to actually applying the math. he assigns the hardest questions that will never be utilized in the midterms or finals. i definitely got complacent towards the end of the quarter but that’s just me, but overall this class is easy, but with the price of having to deal with the ridiculousness of the professor. also you can probably find him using his burner accounts on reddit attacking students who say his handwriting and teaching is bad.

Kofi is very silly. His lectures aren't very helpful and the textbook is just better but he can be funny. He definitely cares about his students and wants everyone to be engaged. There's weekly homework assignments and quizzes. I think the most for a homework was maybe 20 questions. The tests aren't bad at all. He does plenty of review sessions and gives practice exams. He's very nice but definitely a character.

I have never felt so angry and unsatisfied at a professor before. Professor Enakoutsa is a terrible professor and has no regard for his student's success in any manner. While he does host plenty of reviews for exams, it does not help that you can barely understand him or read his handwriting. This isn't to say his accent is bad, I've had professors in the past with strong accents (ex. Kusenko, Zhang, etc) but it does not help that he's literally yelling at you the content and introduces new topics DURING THE REVIEW SESSION. Like I swear I have never seen these concepts in class and I got to every lecture. Additionally, he was allegedly caught posting a comment on Campuswire about how good his handwriting us under an anonymous account which is unheard of, stating initially "I am very sorry to read this thing about my handwriting. Please note that I have a beautiful handwriting. So you spend 10 weeks in my class and it is only now that you can not read my handwriting?" and responding to himself anonymously saying "Do not let these student discourage you Professor, I think your handwriting is the MOST BEAUTIFUL I have seen and I think it's a comedy that these student only asks for accommodations now in week 10." He is also rude to students, responding in a Campuswire post, "What I don't understand are all these inquiries: late homework, partial credit, etc. After all these they are still being not respectful. I just can not wrap my head around all these? What kind of students I lecture?" To someone asking about homework being graded during the TA strike. I find this response very unprofessional as yes, it can be frustrating to get a lot of questions about homework and grades but that does not justify the professor calling a student not respectful. I just find all these to lead to me to say he is not the most helpful, honest, or kind professor.

Despite this, I do have some pros. His exams are VERY similar to the practice exams he gives. He also hosts plenty of review sessions to help. His exams are very fair, if you have been doing the homework and attending lecture (or at minimum watch the review sessions) you will be fine! He is very strict on no curves though (learned this when the average for midterm 2 was a 70%), but that being said there are 2 grading schemes, one of which lets one midterm be dropped so I understand why.

That being said, Koffi does have his pros, but the cons outweigh all the good qualities he possess and I would not take any lecture with him in the future.

Class isn't hard and I will prob do well in the end - but the professor is BEYOND unbearable and extremely EGOTISTICAL. Basically, you have to teach everything yourself. He says his handwriting is beautiful, but in reality, they look like literal Egyptian hieroglyphics. You have to take minutes to decipher what he is writing. The professor doesn't know how to take constructive criticism at all. He dismisses student concerns and feedback with a condescending attitude. His lectures are disorganized, making it difficult to follow along or take coherent notes. The course materials are poorly structured, and assignments are often ambiguous, requiring additional effort to understand the requirements. Overall, the teaching approach is ineffective, and the learning experience is frustrating, just adding unnecessary stress.

TLDR: PLEASEEEE STAY AWAYYYY
