Would comment these good reviews are likely bought. Expects respect from students when he does nothing to earn them students' respect - has zero patience in teaching: yelling in class for people to be quiet (can't seem to tolerate the smallest bit of conversation especially when people are trying to figure out his confusing teaching); becomes easily flustered or agitated when students ask for clarifications to questions he vaguely answered or downright repeated his original explanation that no one understands. You can't understand half of his lectures because a) he is just parroting the textbook which is at times unclear and b) his voice and illegible handwriting. There is no reason you can't take another class in place of Koffi. He has certainly made my quarter more painful than it needs to be.

In the dire circumstance that you have to take Koffi, I hope the info below helps:

Extremely unclear lectures - I would say reading the textbook is much, much more efficient and comprehensive. Koffi religiously follows the textbook - almost every practice example and diagram he gives in class is exactly textbook examples so reading the textbook would basically be a transcript of his lessons. However, he has terrible pacing. Easy concepts are repeated for half of the lecture while hard concepts are glossed over. His passion lies in proofs and spend much time in class proving formulas in comparison to explaining concepts. There are no proofs of formulas in exams, so for many proofs are a complete waste of time.

Heavy workload: He claims to assign homework on Fridays and would be due on Sundays, when in reality he sometimes assigns additional content (in compensation for his lack of teaching in class) at weird intervals and is due at odd times (e.g. 5:12 PM on Friday). Average homework takes 2-3 hours if there are challenging proof questions (which there often are). Many times a single question can take an entire sheet of reasoning. There is no late penalty but you would have to ask your TA to help you submit it.

Useful discussion sessions: his TAs are much more qualified to teach than the professor himself. Attend discussion sessions:)

Midterms are relatively easy given you really study the material on your own and make sure you have a firm grasp on the content. His review sessions held over zoom are helpful (especially for midterm 1); but the second midterm was much more difficult than the first.

Does not have recordings or Zoom. Does not permit cheat sheets or calculators. Does not curve (when the class average for midterm 2 was 70; Koffi claimed "70 is a good average" which is a C-).

Very good Professor, you need to be on top of everything so you can understand lecture, very passionate and knowledgeable professor. The only bad experience I had was the TA discussion sessions not being helpful at all; if the sessions were as good as lecture it would have been a fun class. I worked hard tho and I got the grade, make a good study group and you'll support each other to pass

He's funny and a nice guy, but you can't understand anything he says. He just says "are you with me" every 5 minutes, when nobody is with him. He's tests are easy though you just memorize the old ones. Take his class, skip lecture and watch professor leonard, memorize the previous tests and its a free a

Koffi is my funniest lecturer last quarter. Absolutely hilarious if you're into that type of teacher.
His accent was strong, but I got used to it after a week or two. The biggest problem is not the accent but how he doesn't explain or break down the concepts but just narrates it as a repetition of the textbook. When there's a hard concept to teach he would just repeat the definition again and again in his non-logical manner, and say "is it clear? is it clear?", and nobody would respond to him, and he gets triggered and goes "yes!" as a response to himself. So, bad teaching combined with an accent, I'm not sure if it's just me but the lectures were just nightmares for me; terribly hard to follow; total waste of time; I stopped going after midterm 1.
BUT, THERE IS A TRADEOFF. His homework and exams are super easy. HW questions are straight from the textbook, and test questions are just variations of similar problems. Easy A if you put in the work.
Conclusion:
*strong independent learning ability and just wants an A ---- sure, take it
*care about high-quality teaching and learning ---- leave!

Brilliant professor and a good lecturer, but you have to work damn hard to succeed. Homework assignments, 2 midterms, final and oral exams are your entire grade. No extra credit. Friendly and accessible outside office hours. Material is very theoretical and hard to grasp. Don't take if not a math major.

Enakoutsa is probably a great guy, however, he is unintelligible due to his thick accent. If you want a math teacher to actually teach you, find another class. However, if you can teach yourself, the textbook is great, and the tests are manageable. VERY IMPORTANT: Enakoutsa does not like to write new exams, so when given old exam material, memorize it, and you'll ace the exams.

Lectures aren't recorded, though he just follows the textbook so if you miss a lecture you can just take notes on the chapters.

Tests are very similar to practice exams, final is slightly harder but the 3 hours is more than enough time if you know you stuff.

One annoying thing is that the homework is always behind on what we're learning, as in we'll be doing homework on stuff we learned like 2 weeks ago so it's not going to help us on our upcoming tests or quizzes.

I think as a class it's pretty easy but just make sure you don't make silly mistakes and touch up on some trig identities from BC and you should be fine.

To preface this, it is true that professors with accents tend to be given lower ratings by students, which is not entirely fair. Professor Enakoutsa was perfectly intelligible, and this review is not based on his speaking ability. However, his handwriting is quite difficult to read, and everything on screen during lectures is his handwritten notes.
This is not an issue as soon as you realize that EVERYTHING in those notes and in the slides provided on Bruinlearn are ripped word for word from the textbook, and that following along in the textbook will provide you exactly the same educational experience as the lectures.
If you are taking this class, buy the textbook. Read the textbook. If something from lecture is confusing, it's printed clearly in the textbook. Don't bother with anything else.
Otherwise, the homework load was generally manageable, although it was noticeably lagging behind the class, which was itself lagging behind the pace outlined in the syllabus. Despite this, the professor commented that our class is the first time he's managed to finish the course material on time. My TA, Venkat, was excellent, and was a great resource for clarifying things from the lecture.
Midterm and final were both alright, one question each on four topics, sometimes with sub-questions.

useless stuck-up unaccommodating professor

Clever and very accommodating Professor!
