Class was mostly a review of Calc BC and I was beyond thankful I took it because everything taught in this class was so confusing in comparison. The only reason why I did well was because I already knew all of the material. The year started off very well, Koffi was very positive and helpful but this nice demeanor changed as the quarter went on. Towards the end he got very upset that people were not attending lectures despite the class being recorded and attendance not mandatory. Tests did not reflect the homework or questions went over during lecture. I easily spent at least six hours on every test so I was glad the math department made it mandatory that all exams were 24 hours. All I can say is that I’m glad this is the last math class I need to take.

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 pretty good. He is a very caring and humorous professor who obviously cares a lot about teaching. However, his lectures are sometimes a bit dull and not that helpful. I can't really say much about the lectures since I stopped going to them ever since week 2 (I think). Reading the book is essentially how I learned in this class. There are free versions of this book online, and Koffi's tests are very very easy (24 hrs during COVID-19, but idk will that change or not). The homework is way more difficult than the actual tests themselves, and overall it is not hard to get an A in Koffi's class. To summarize: easy A and read the book.

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.

Enakoutsa is a very nice professor and truly wants every student to succeed. This is his first quarter here and he had a rough start with the pacing and had to post additional videos which I was not a fan of, but he quickly adapted and was more efficient. The homework amount was very reasonable, and going through slader for problems I did not know how to do helped a lot. He was not required to explain the conceptual part of the math, but when he did I didn't follow what he was saying very well.
The material for 32A is computational, and he does a good job at going through examples and answering questions and I would most definitely choose him again for this class if I were to go back, but for a non computational math class such as 32B I would be hesitant to choose him. His tests are very reasonable and GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS. He goes over exactly what you need to know and I found them very helpful.

Koffi is a really great guy and a really nice professor overall! He is very accommodating and tolerant of late work, homework questions, or just general confusion about the material. People mentioned that he has an accent, but I personally didn't think it was a learning impediment in any way. The tests that he writes are fairly straightforward and easy so you don't need to worry too much about them, especially with 24 hour test policy that the math department has for COVID. He does his best to ensure that the class that he teaches isn't a horrible experience for us, and he puts in a lot of his own personal time (3 office hours, being available all day on zoom for test days, review sessions outside of class led by him) to ensure that there are recourses. If you have the option, I would say take him!

No human being with a functioning brain should voluntarily take this class. Unless you have no other lectures open and your existence on planet earth was threatened if you didn't take this class, there should be NO reason to be taking ANY class with this guy. You can't understand what he's saying. You can't understand his handwriting and notes. He's behind on material but expects you to catch up on your own and gives BRUTALLY EXCRUCIATING questions that are ridiculously nonsense on the final to intentionally screw you up. Imagine learning an entirely new chapter (5 days before the final) because he told you to, and then getting the hardest question of that chapter on the final. Also, he doesn't know how to efficiently operate a keyboard, because 90% of the time it's impossible to even understand what he writes in his emails due to typos and outright NONSENSE sentences. If you struggle in this class and send him an email to ask a question or submit a regrade request, you will get the most morally corrupt, vile, degenerate, inhumane response known to man. If you want to be a functioning human being who contributes meaningfully to the betterment of society and the world, DO NOT take ANY class with this guy.

Koffi is a really nice guy and is super tolerant of late homework. He's an extremely approachable and helpful professor overall. I'd say the workload for this class was extremely manageable, as he usually only gave one assignment each week, which could be completed in a couple of hours. I will say that in lecture he is sometimes unclear and makes small mistakes in his work. His tests were pretty long and difficult, but I think that was the case for all math classes this year due to the new 24-hour exam policy. This was a pretty easy class overall.

****Keep in mind this review is for this class virtually****

Koffi isn't the best professor to ever exist. But if you're taking this class online, you'll literally be fine.

If the homework is scaring you, realize that no matter the teacher, you have to study one way or another. If you do the homework properly and ask questions when you're confused on it you won't need to study for the class. This is around 5-7 hours a week.

This quarter, we had weekly homeworks (20% of grade) two tests (each 25%) and one final (30%). He did something that wasn't on the syllabus this quarter and gave us quizzes that were each 10% of the two test scores. They were meant to boost your grade but they were 30 minute timed, so they hurt my grade. Test questions can be fairly difficult. But all tests are open note and you have the FULL 24-hours. So if you know what to look for, the tests can tedious but easy to score well on.

The textbook is your bestfriend. His lectures are just the textbook but *DO* attend lectures and review sessions; 3 questions from his review sessions ended up being on the final.

As many people said Koffi can be hard to understand in both his handwriting and accent but there's only so much he can do. Tbh, I don't think the prof matters hugely for Math 31B just because they are under rules set by the Math Dept, like being ordered to follow the book and make all tests 24-hours.

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.
