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.

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.
