Enakoutsa is a really nice and approachable professor who wants to see his students succeed. I took this class as an incoming freshman and found it a nice transition to college. Problem sets were assigned every Friday and due the next week, and I would say the workload is appropriate. Grading breakdown was 20% homework, 25% x 2 midterms and 30% final exam. Note that the homework is graded for accuracy, so check your work carefully! Nearer the beginning of the quarter, the professor struggled with pacing, and as we were behind schedule, he posted multiple supplemental videos for us to watch after class; however, he seemed to have figured it out nearer the end of the quarter. Additionally, he teaches practically straight out of the textbook, so read the chapters carefully, they are super helpful. Some T/F and "give-an-example" questions on his midterms were worded confusingly, but he thankfully responded to feedback and did not put those on the final. Overall, Enakoutsa was quite fair and a decent professor, and I would recommend taking his class.

Reading the textbook is enough preparation for lectures. There is one set of homework given each week, except the last week where 3 homework sets were released. These sets are long and time-consuming so make sure to block off enough time to do them all. The professor is still adjusting since he is quite new.

My overall rating on Professor Enkoutsa Koffi is mixed. The pacing was bad and the lectures were dry and there was a mild communication barrier (ie difficult time understanding the questions students were asking) The tests were fair and he was very nice and approachable. The same could not be said for my GSI, at least for the three times I showed up to discussion. I don't appreciate these sorts of remarks "that quiz was super easy, you all should have gotten 10/10" and "Here let me make this easy for you".

I think part of it had to do with adjusting to an online format. Professor Koffi obviously cares about his students and what he teaches. He spent too much time explaining the beginning details and subsequently rushed applications of partial derivatives. I think he could have done a better job at showing students how to solve problems that were to be on the midterms and homework. Particularly when it came to generalizing ideas I took for granted in single variable calculus. I think he should have spent more time distinguishing differentiability versus having partial derivatives and not being differentiable. Many students, including myself, continually asked clarifying questions on the matter but weren't able to figure it out in the end. There was a void there.

Last point: we never got our finals back. We got our midterms back. We should have been told that.

Prof Enakoutsa really wants to help each student and cares about making sure that we understand the content. That being said, he frequently made small algebraic errors during lecture that sometimes made it harder to follow along. However, Enakoutsa is super approachable during office hours and also holds review sessions to help you understand if you are having any trouble. His tests/quizzes are not that bad because he makes sure that you learn the difficult content in the homework. Overall, I would recommend this professor!

The best part about Prof. Enakoutsa is, without a doubt, his care for his students and the emphasis he places on education. Unlike some professors who treat teaching as a chore (so it seems), Koffi will always put time into your learning process and try his best to accommodate when possible. He's hosted numerous review sessions in his spare time, is timely with answering questions on campuswire, and is overall a genuinely nice, approachable professor. His homework is fair, and he always claims that his homework questions are harder than his exam questions, which is true for the most part if you primarily consider the more difficult (but not crazy difficult) homework problems to be the standard for comparison. As a freshman, the amount of homework he gave seemed to be expected for a college-level calc class, but the problems are representative of the types he gives on exams so they aren't a waste of time. The problems gradually get harder throughout problem sets, but the most challenging questions never make it onto any exams. Obviously the 24 hour time slot due to COVID was a huge benefit for exams, but I don't think this course would produce crazy exams in a standard time frame anyways.

As far as his lecturing goes, I found it really helpful to read the sections he'd cover beforehand. Or if you can't, I suggest keeping the textbook open because he almost always goes through the examples in the book while he teaches. He sometimes has small algebra errors in things like derivations and examples that he has to go over, which leads to wasted time, but having the example right by you makes that less of an issue.

TLDR: Relatively easy & fair professor teaching a not-too-challenging course. I would recommend taking him!

Find someone else if you can. The workload is really high. My main problem with it is that some quizzes and test questions were not really very related to the class material. If you are a math genius, go for it no problem. The TAs were great but there were too few of them. The (live) lectures were quite disorganized, and the professor’s own time management didn’t really help either. If you take this class you may feel it is super easy by first midterm and just down right train wreck as yo approach the final. Hopefully he will reorganize the class to make it more doable for non-math nerds,

So, I swear Koffi is very nice and is a good professor that knows his material. However, I cannot for the life of me understand his accent + handwriting. He comes from France, which I assume is where he got his distinct style but I have not successfully acclimated to it. It doesn't help that his audio is slightly muffled and the video quality is sub-optimal. It has become not possible for me to watch the lectures in person without getting behind on my note writing but a plus is that as well as being streamed on zoom, it is live-streamed on youtube at the same time so I can watch along and pause whenever. I find myself behind on watching lectures as there is an additional 4th lecture on Tuesdays that are pre-recorded. He is very lenient with late homework submissions and very understanding if you need help though. I advise taking him in person and working with him to ensure you have the best chance in his class because I feel like chalk is his medium and he is a great teacher otherwise.

I took 32A and 32B with him and all I can say is he is a great professor. Very caring of his students and he wants us all to succeed. He’s very approachable and extremely lenient on homework. The average on tests are high 80s to low 90s. I could have gotten an A in this class, but I choked on the final. The content is definitely tougher than 32A, but still somewhat easy to pickup if you read the book and practice a bit. He gives a doable amount of homework each week which takes a few hours, but he’s very helpful and always available to answer questions. He teaches at a comfortable pace; however, the downside to that is we have to cram a lot of material in the last two weeks of class. Other than that, Koffi is one of my favorite professors so far and I would definitely take another math class with him if I had the opportunity.

Engaging, effective lectures with reasonable tests. Enakoutsa is one of those professors who genuinely wants to see you succeed and will spend as long as necessary on any question you may have during lecture. He organizes so many review sessions and office hours and honestly, he's just a great character overall. I always felt welcome in his class and there's really very little reason to not take a class with him. I will say that sometimes he was a bit hard to understand on account of both his accent and his microphone being a bit weird but the vast majority of his lectures were very clear. Homework is about what you'd expect from any other math class but Enakoutsa, being the legend he is, allows you to turn in homework late, as late and as many times as you want (just don't abuse it - he doesn't want to see all the hw turned in the day of the final lmao).

Overall a fantastic, engaging professor and you would be lucky to be in his class.

Professor Enakoutsa is very caring about his students. That being said, the class is not easy, but he tries his best to make sure that students understanding all of the course material. He is also a very funny professor, is passionate about his work, and loves speaking with students to get to know them.
The grading distribution is as follows: 20% Homework, 25% Midterm 1, 25% Midterm 2, and 30% Final. The homework consisted of 20-30 problems from the textbook, and he graded 3 problems at random for accuracy and the rest for completion. The homework load increased throughout the quarter, but it was generally okay. The 2 midterms were available for 24 hours and were designed as 1-hour exams, but they took much longer for me. However, the problems were very straightforward and similar to the examples he gives during class and the homework problems he assigns. They were pretty doable, but make sure to show all of your work (ie. graphing, explaining steps/conditions, etc.) to get full (or partial) credit. Similar to the midterms, the final was available for 24 hours and was also very straightforward for the most part, covering each topic we learned in class. There were also 4 quizzes administered through Gradescope. They were available for 24 hours, but we had only 30 minutes to complete them once we started, and they consisted of 3-5 multiple choice questions. They were usually plug-and-chug kinds of problems, but some of them were a little more conceptual. The highest quiz out of the first two were worth 10% of Midterm 1's weight (2.5% of total grade), and the highest quiz out of the last two were worth 10% of Midterm 2's weight (2.5% of total grade), so the grading scheme became 20% HW, 5% Quizzes, 22.5% Midterm 1, 22.5% Midterm 2, and 30% Final, but this may be different for future classes.
The one thing I didn't exactly like about his class was the extra sessions, where he would go over new class material (as if we were having another lecture section) or review for the quizzes/exams. We were always behind on lectures/chapters, so he compensated with extra lectures either in the evening on a weekday or in the afternoon-ish on a weekend. The reviews were generally helpful, but the extra sessions overall consumed a lot of time outside of class.
