Koffi is sharp, know vey well his stuff. He assigned a tons of homework. But like he like to say, “you can not learn a topic in math by just solving one or two problems on the topic”. Great person. Great teacher!

Koffi is a good person. He might not be the best professor, but he's a good person. His midterms are fairly easy. Most of the class got A's on both tests. However, his final for this quarter is harder than the midterms. His homework is long but they often are pretty quick (there are proof questions that take longer, but those are mainly graded based on completion so definitely do them). His group assignments are graded based on completion as well. I think the main reason why people dislike him is the pace of his class. He starts off really slow but goes super fast after the first midterm. We had to study two chapters on our own for the final and I think that's why people messed up.

Grading:
10% homework + 5% group assignments + 20% midterm 1 + 20% midterm 2 + 45% final
OR 10% homework + 5% group assignments + 25% better midterm + 60% final

Professor Koffi is a good person with the best intentions, but my man can't stay on schedule if his life depended on it. From the first week we were already behind and after that we never managed to catch up. His teaching philosophy prevents him from moving on to the next topic until "everyone" understands, which is good in principle but not effective in practice. We ended up rushing to finish a lot of material at the end (meaning 4 homework assignments in 3 days [WITH 20 PROBLEMS EACH]), and he ultimately lost a lot of students on the way. If you do have the misfortune of taking this course, don't despair, just go to every review session and do the homework as it comes. If you attend the review sessions and master the material on it then you will know exactly what's going to be on the exam. If you have to take 32B after taking his class, I recommend reviewing material from the textbook on your own during break cause otherwise you'll be mad confused. Oh, and just pray for a good TA.

Professor Enakoutsa is a very lively man and his tests for the most part are fair and reasonable as long as you attend his review sessions (he doesn’t allow cheat sheets though). That being said, I wouldn’t recommend his class for several reasons.

The first would be his pacing. Enakoutsa progressed very slowly throughout the first part of the quarter, which resulted in us having to watch an extra lecture the week of finals on a topic that would supposedly be tested on the final. He also assigned two homework assignments (each 20+ problems) the weekend before finals.

The workload is fairly heavy as well. Although he does push due dates all the way to the end of the quarter, it is still a solid amount of work and if you don’t keep up with assignments it piles up.

Finally, Enakoutsa is difficult to understand. He has an accent, which would be ok if he had good lecture slides. However, his slides are entirely handwritten with hardly any useful information on them and his handwriting is atrocious, to the point of being almost illegible.

Very nice and bright Professor!

I had the pleasure to take prof kofi class and I must say that it was the best academic experience I have had. Koffi was always available to answer questions and provide detailed feedback about the assignment. I strongly recommend him.

I had the pleasure of taking Math 42 with Professor Koffi and can confidently say that it was one of the most rewarding academic experiences of my college career. From the very first day of class, it was clear that Professor Koffi was not only incredibly knowledgeable in their field but also deeply passionate about teaching and helping students learn.

One thing that really stood out to me was Professor Koffi's ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging. He had a knack for breaking down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and using real-world examples to illustrate them. Additionally, Professor Koffi was always available to answer questions, whether in class or outside of it, and provided thoughtful and insightful feedback on assignments.

Beyond his expertise in the subject matter, Professor Koffi was also a wonderful mentor and role model. He encouraged intellectual curiosity and critical thinking, and challenged us to think deeply about the implications of what we were learning. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious, and I always left class feeling inspired and motivated.

Overall, I would highly recommend Professor Koffi to anyone looking for an engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate educator. His dedication to teaching and his students is truly exceptional, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from them.

Take him if you want a good grade. However, the class is very unorganized and assignment due dates and grade scheme are very vague. You will need to do a lot of self-learning.

Professor Enakoutsa is a funny professor and seems to be a kind person. However, he can be a little disorganized. In addition to this, he many times refused to answer questions about grading and told our class to simply "relax". Although the class was very frustrating to take, the tests were fairly simple. The questions he does at the review sessions were essentially the same as the test. Many of his students also end with an A.

Overall I think Koffi was a great professor. He genuinely cared about his students and how we learned. While in class he did sometimes go over material quickly, he always encouraged people to ask questions, and had plenty of office hours. His midterm and final review sessions were also super helpful and made the tests much more manageable. He always gave extensions on the homework and with the TA strike going on this past quarter he took over their discussion times and added more zoom office hours for questions. While Math 32A is a difficult class, Koffi’s resources and overall teaching skills make it easier and more enjoyable.
