Koffi is a genuinely caring professor and he's very easy on students. We have 20-30 homework problems every week, but it's easy to learn the concepts while doing the hw & it's great preparation for his exams.

Prof. Enakoutsa is a very nice person and does seem to care about his students. Unfortunately, it's hard to understand his lectures sometimes due to his accent and choppy mic. Sometimes he tries drawing diagrams during lectures, but, to be expected, it's hard to draw clear 3D diagrams, so you're better off looking at the book's diagrams. The prof almost never strays from the book's material, so when his lectures become hard to understand, just read the corresponding chapter in the book. Sometimes, the tests had vague/unclear questions, but Prof was pretty responsive and made sure to not include those types of questions on the final. I wouldn't actively try to take his class again because I feel the learning was a bit slow, but if I end up with him again, I wouldn't mind.

Koffi is a nice man. However, this was one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken. The material is tough to understand because he explains what he’s about to do, and then solves problems without explaining them step by step. This made it very difficult to understand mathematical concepts that are crucial for the class. In many cases, I would find myself attending lecture and then being lost halfway through the homework. That’s the other issue with the Professor. He assigns many practice problems to help with the basics of what he is teaching, but assigns others that are proof based and almost impossible to solve. He expects his students to understand these problems and ask for help during office hours if they struggle. However, every time I went to discuss the problems with him he would solve them without explaining any of his steps or reasoning. With his exams based off many of these difficult problems, I spent hours and hours working on the tests only to land up with bad grades. The main problem is thus a lack of clarity when lecturing, a massive and unnecessary homework course-load, and difficult and almost impossible exams that are much more difficult than anything done during class. Until these problems are fixed I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Koffi as a professor.

Want an A? Take this class. Want a professor who teaches the material well? Don't.

Koffi is overall a fantastic professor. The tests are very very straightforward if you did the first half of the back problems in the textbook. His exam review sessions are very helpful and you can score 75% without studying if you just attend them. Sometimes his lecture becomes big and hard but his prerecorded videos are small and soft. It is easy to lose marks on his midterms due to silly errors because they consist of only 4 qs but 25 marks each holy damn Barack Hussein Obama! He is also very cute and unpredictable so even if you do not understand his material because of his accent, you will have so much fun in his class. He does not look down upon pets in class since he loves animals. I would definitely retake this professor if it was possible. If any of you have a tattoo however, then I suggest you find a different professor. Good Luck everyone.

Koffi is a very kind and approachable professor who is passionate about teaching. However, this was his first quarter at UCLA, and I think he had a difficult time adjusting to the pace of the quarter system having previously taught only on the semester system. At the beginning of the course, he spent a lot of time on concepts that didn't really need that much elaboration, resulting in him not finishing on time and assigning hours of prerecorded lectures for us to watch. He realized this wasn't a sustainable approach, though, and stopped doing this, seemingly learning to manage instructional time better in the coming weeks. Homework was challenging and long, and it's very easy to lose points, so I highly suggest comparing answers with classmates or verifying them online. He gave two midterms and a final, all of which were pretty fair, as well as timed quizzes which counted as 10% of your midterm grade.

He is very approachable during office hours and also hosted a few optional test review sessions. He doesn't always explain things in the clearest way during lectures, so office hours are very helpful if you didn't understand the material that well. Lastly, he does have a thick accent, but I don't really think it made him hard to understand. Some of my criticisms of Koffi are a result of his transition to the quarter system rather than his actual teaching ability, so keep that in mind. I'm sure that he will improve over time.

There is one homework assignment per week, he extends deadline till the end of the quarter for many of them. The homework assignments get pretty hard since he includes problems from the back of the sections, but they're doable if you go to office hours or find a study group. Find a good study group you can compare answers with because around 80% of the homework assignment is few questions graded on accuracy and rest is for completion.
Midterms tend to be easier than homework. The questions are similar to his review sessions so make sure to attend those and understand how to do those problems fully. Finals are similar, but the questions are somewhat harder. Make sure to not silly errors on tests like me because those cost a lot of points.
He uploads pre-recorded lectures online and also some in-class recordings. He also uploads review session recordings. Make sure to watch them.
Sometimes, his lectures can be hard to understand. Make sure to read the book then.
The content isn't easy, but it's possible to get an A-/A if you do all the homework and start studying for midterms/finals a week in advance. I would recommend this.

I don't think this class is as bad as some of the other comments suggest.
The exam content is entirely identical to what was covered in the review section (it's like they gave us practice exams) and they also provided an Improvement Test.
I've noticed a lot of people complaining about having too much homework. In fact, This class simply compresses the normal 10-week workload into 6 weeks (with frequent extensions on due dates and drops the three lowest grades.
As for the professor's handwriting, I don't think it's a big issue. In fact, his notes are relatively neat, with only some variations in the way he writes certain letters. Once you get used to his handwriting, his notes are still easy to read.

Koffi is the goat. Lectures are great, and you learn what you need to be successful on the assessments. There are quizzes which are substantially harder than the tests, but he will sometimes take the best out of each set. The homework can take a long time, but he does not mind if you turn it in late. The tests are generally very fair, and they do not take 6 hours like my other math classes (this was taken during a virtual quarter). Professor does tend to get behind, and in return, there are makeup recordings (about one each week). However, he does have many review sessions for quizzes and tests to keep you prepared. All in all, I would take again and would highly recommend Koffi to anyone.

For background I took Calc AB in high school and struggled with it, but got a 5 on the (covid-altered) AP test. On the positive side of this course, Koffi does tend to email back quickly, a TA was always responsive on campuswire for questions, and he is overall a very reasonable guy. He will not screw you over just to screw you over, but his perception of your effort is really important. He will be pissed if a lot of people aren't showing up to lecture and if you email him questions he may cross check your email on the list of zoom attendants to see if you go to class. I don't care if people don't find the lectures helpful, at least get your classmates to log on and pretend they're paying attention because you will all have a better time. Like other people mentioned, the homework sets take a long time and some of the problems are graded for accuracy with the rest graded on completion. The first midterm around Week 4 wasn't too bad, the second one on the Friday of Week 9 was a good bit harder for me, and I spent 8 hours on the 24 hour final. The 30 min timed quizzes varied in difficulty but were on the easier side. We pretty much stuffed Taylor/Maclaurin series all into Week 10 (a lot of the material that we learned at the end was on the final) and we had never been tested on it prior. From what I can guess, the type of questions normally asked in-person on tests for a class like this would be easy to look up in all sorts of calculators that exist online, so they had to make the questions non-lookup-able. Do not go into the tests assuming you can just find the answers, you will absolutely have a dirt time. I did not attend his two review sessions but he offered them.
