Would definitely not recommend to a friend. The professor made this class more difficult than it needed to be for a summer class.
10% of the grade is from the homework, which is not bad for a math class, but HW is assigned for each new topic. Since the class is shortened into 6 weeks, HW is assigned EVERY lecture since a new topic is coveredd. With lectures being 3 times a week, this is 3 sets of HW EVERY week. And EVERY HW set contains about 20 problems each. So EVERY week its about 60 homework problems, meaning that you'll do about 360 problems for just 10% of your grade, or 36 problems is equal to just 1% of your grade. And the homework is graded based on completion + randomly selected problems for correctness.
Next, 5% of your grade is quizzes. This is fair as these are meant to be low-stakes and allow students to assess their knowledge in the class. However, there was some skepticism on one of the quizzes, and it was canceled and later rescheduled. It was claimed that higher scores after the quiz's deadline were due to cheating (getting answers from others). I didn't think this was reasonable to cancel the quiz scores based on a claim.
The midterms and finals make up the rest of your grade and are pretty heavy on the grading scale. It's a math class, so it's to be expected. There are two grading schemes in case you did better than the final or midterm. It was asked for each exam that each student have their face, hands, and paper to write their answers on to be viewable on their camera to "prevent cheating". He does give a study guide for the exams, but I didn't find them helpful. The point distribution for the exams was not reasonable, as he believed "partial credit is not deserved," and believed in getting the correct answers only. Oh, and the professor is the only one who grades the exams, not the TAs (who just hold discussions), so best of luck with the grading requests. One student did send a request, and he said something along the lines of "I gave you extra points and it still wasn't enough. Maybe you should grade the exam," mmmm, not very professional.
TLDR, don't take this professor if you have to over the summer. It's doable, but it's not fair. Don't take it from me, he even said, "If you don't like the class, then just drop it," so I would listen to him.

I understand why many others find his lectures and handwriting hard to follow, and I totally agree with that part. However, I believe a relatively high homework workload actually helped me a lot in preparation for exams, since he basically filters problems that he wants you to know with homework. He also offers plenty of office hours and gives the review session which directly relates to exam questions.

Gives an absurd amount amount of required homework (30+ hours per week) on top of lectures and discussions. the class its self isn't that difficult and the only redeeming thing about this professor is he has very organized and easy to follow slide when learning the topic. despite there being no attendance requirement, I found lecture recordings to be pretty useless because his hand writing is fairly illegible and unfortunately I cant really understand anything his saying due to his accent.

Koffi is the most condescending professor I have ever met at UCLA. Whenever someone in the class would ask questions or give feedback to him in Campuswire, he would reply with the most angry, disrespective responses. His lectures are unclear and his notes are unorganized. His homework also takes so long to complete and contains completely irrelevent questions to the class. His practice tests are also nothing like his actual exams. However, the good thing about him is that he grades exams so leniently; you can still get an A on an exam even if you miss like a third of the questions.

Don’t take this class with Enakoutsa. This class sucks the life out of you and it will ruin your summer. I took 32a with him and it honestly wasn’t bad outside of the confusing lectures and the amount of homework. But 32b was on another nightmarish level.. First, It’s extremely difficult to follow lectures because he mumbles and has a very thick accent, and his handwriting is awful. He also assigned so much more homework than in 32a, sometimes getting up to 50 problems a week.
We had to take the first quiz three times before he let us move on, and he made every student do the retakes. He even tried scheduling one of the retakes for a Saturday, but thankfully he moved it to be after class, only after receiving tons of requests to reschedule.
The final was also impossibly hard - 2 hours was definitely not enough and I was rushed the entire time. I probably would have needed at least 3 hours to feel comfortable, I don’t know a single person who actually completed the final. He also made a mistake on one of the questions which led to an impossible integral and there was no way to solve it. The exam was a genuine nightmare to take, although grading did seem very lenient.
Enakoutsa also constantly accused the class of cheating on quizzes/exams and he spent so much time arguing with students on his methods and policies. It’s also incredibly frustrating trying to communicate with him. He either never answers questions or argues with the student - he never provides any straightforward answers. He also writes his own reviews to boost his ratings so don’t trust every review you see.

This is a toned down version of my original draft, since eventually things turned out okay personally. I know Koffi reads these reviews, and do feel slightly bad for all the hate mail he received (he did attempt to teach and spent time including office hours on weekends).

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS if you value your time, GPA, education, or mental health. Honestly not sure what’s left. Koffi assigned a ridiculous amount of homework every week with the justification it’s a summer course. I was accused of cheating 5 times, twice personally and thrice along with the class. We were forced to retake Quiz 1 thrice due to his own errors. He also absurdly changed expectations about attendance when his feelings were hurt because no one enjoys deciphering hieroglyphics with mumbling in the background.

Unlike previous quarters, the final brutal (even ignoring the unsolvable problem). But somehow Koffi finished the entire test in 30 min (clearly missed at least one question he wrote himself). Ultimately, 60% of the test was graded for completion, which is clearly unfair for those who didn’t write gibberish.

Everything was either a personal attack on Koffi or an academic integrity violation. He would constantly argue with students on email or Campuswire instead of addressing very reasonable issues. I’m legitimately traumatized by this class and seriously questioning enrolling in UCLA classes next summer. It used to be tolerable due to the exams, but now nothing redeemable remains.

This class is ridiculous. Not only his teaching style is bad, simply going over his lecture notes on his iPad and intolerable thick accent, the exams are not fair at all. Moreover, he blames the students for the disorganization of the course. Throughout the entire time, his way of addressing those logistics issue is basically just arguing with students. Quiz rescheduled three times and canceled a quiz. Told us to stick with the syllabus when we addressed our concerns of grading but simultaneously telling us he will no longer drop the homework with the lowest grade......Mistake on the final was also addressed not to the students' favor. Overall, he's bad at teaching and punishes students for his own mistakes.

Genuinely the worst professor in all of America. I wouldn't recommend this class to the founder of multivariate calculus. Here is a list of everything he does/did wrong:

1. Falls behind on schedule for lectures and makes you watch lectures on holidays to catch up.
2. Made us take the first quiz 3 times because he couldn't format a simple gradescope quiz correctly and blamed us
3. Made a severe typo on the final test which disrupted the test taking process for everyone and did not sufficiently account for this
4. Criticizes students for asking questions on Campuswire and threatens us not to leave bad reviews of his teaching philosophy
5. Assigned homework right before the final that we had only learned a day before and therefore have to do homework after we take the final.

Not only these, but he is the worst teacher ever. He doesn't speak good English at all and his writing is just jarring scribbles. He also assigns obscene amounts of homework, where it would be 10+ hours a week just trying to complete regular assignments. Not only this, but I am very convinced that he is the one disliking these reviews and the one who left the only positive review, because the writing is insanely similar.

He rescheduled 1 quiz for 3 times and even tried to make us do it over the weekend; cancelled 1 quiz because he messed up his teaching schedule; said he would drop 2 lowest HW in syllabus but just announced he would not do so by the end of the quarter; he made a mistake in the question of the final exam and caused most ppl wasted 30 mins for nothing and did not take any action after the exam regarding this issue.

Let alone the crazy amount of homework (more than 10 hours per week) and random changes to attedence requirements. He refused to admit that things were so unorganized in his class and exerted a lot of pressure on us students.

He is the worst of worst, avoid him at all costs. The other good comments are all his OWN SPAM.

This class was dismal. He invoked and revoked a new attendance policy, first making it recorded, then not recorded, then recorded again. He had a bad management system for taking the midterm and the final, and it was really hard to navigate the mistakes he made on the exam, he wasn't very accommodating. Below is the final email he sent to us:

Dear Students,

I wanted to let you know that your final letter grades have been posted and should be available to you this afternoon.

After reviewing some of the comments on Campuswire (which I set up to facilitate questions about homework and course materials), I noticed that several remarks were quite critical. Some even questioned my teaching approach and claimed that the course was disorganized, with announcements about tests being made at the last minute. However, many announcements were shared during live lectures, and if you were not attending them regularly, you may have missed important updates.

As you continue your academic journey, I would like to offer a few pieces of advice:

Choosing Courses: If you found the structure of this class challenging, I recommend avoiding my courses in the future, as I don’t plan to change the number of homework assignments or the overall structure.

Handwriting Style: Regarding the comments on my handwriting, it varies due to the way I was taught from an early age. While some may find it unconventional, others have appreciated its uniqueness. I have a total of 7 handwritings.

Accent and Communication: I am originally from Africa, and while I work diligently to communicate clearly, my accent is part of my identity and is not something I can change. I encourage students to embrace the diversity of their professors, as this is part of the enriching university experience.

Lastly, if you have any concerns regarding your posted grades, I expect all communication to be respectful and polite. At this time, I will not tolerate any form of disrespectful behavior.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Koffi Enakoutsa
