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 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.

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.

Professor Enakoutsa is truly outstanding. His knowledge and passion for his subject matter are evident in his lectures, which are engaging and thought-provoking. He has a genuine interest in his students' success and goes above and beyond to ensure they understand the material. Professor Enakoutsa's dedication to his field is inspiring and makes him an asset to any academic institution. I highly recommend taking a course with him.

DO NOT TAKE KOFI. He only teaches from the textbook which makes going to class not worth it, but even if you do go, his handwriting is illegible. He has been rude to students, posted his own poor reviews in order to talk down on students, and his tests have many errors which are not corrected until you are taking them. I loved math so much and even competed for four years in math but I do not wish to take another math class because of the professor.

Professor Enakoutsa overall seems like a nice guy, he'd make jokes in class and always thanked us for coming to lectures and is definitely passionate about math. Unfortunately I did not understand anything when I went to lecture. I really struggled to follow, not just that he had an accent (I could mostly understand him in that sense) but the math explanations were unclear and I would get lost on problems that were much simpler than he made it seem. Most people stop coming to lecture after one week and self study. Many students said if you go to his review sessions he goes over everything you need to know for exams and found the exams easy. I went to every review session and studied at least a week for every exam and I still failed EVERY EXAM. I think I would have performed a lot better with another professor but honestly just happy to have passed the class. The only thing that saved me was that it was curved at the end. If you have experience with concepts of multivariable calculus I think it is probably a much more doable class, it was just my first time learning these things.

Also his handwriting is so hard to read T^T

the reviews of koffi for 32A are extremely black and white- no nuance. there are people screeching that he is a demon and other people saying he's great. i would say in reality, he is in the middle. I do agree with the people that say the overwhelmingly positive reviews are fake, but I do not agree with the people saying he is a demon. Baseline for me was that koffi was a confusing lecturer, but he was very caring about his students so you can still do well in the class.

First, the grading scheme was 10% homework, 5% Quizzes, 30 % best midterm grade, 55% final exam or 10% homework, 5% Quizzes, 22.5% midterm 1, 22.5% midterm 2, 40% final exam, whichever would benefit you most. I also believe the grade boundaries are 93% is an A unless he decides to change it. Homework was a PITA and very long, but the proofs were usually not graded.

Koffi's lecturing style was very confusing. He could introduce topics okay, but I would always get very lost. He goes very very fast because he tries to cover every single section of the chapters assigned in calc 32A. No triaging of what is most important to learn, he just teaches it all. That means he teaches things so fast that an entire concept would go straight over your head. Also, sometimes he teaches a concept in a way only a math major would understand. I would be terribly confused until I went to discussion, when my TA would reexplain it in an 100% times easier way. Also to anyone complaining about his accent: I swear it's not that bad, you will get used to it quickly. I think anyone so fed up over it has never heard an African accent before.

The exams were very fair, and never asked anything out of the scope of the class. They might ask stuff out of the scope of koffi's lectures (which were confusing) but they never asked anything out of the realm of the textbook. I agree with all the other reviews saying that you must attend the review sessions! Koffi goes over unreleased problems that are very similar to the test, so if you know how to do those you will be well-prepared for the exams. For me, I am not a math major and this is my last math class. I did well in the class by going to lecture to hear announcements, teaching myself the content 100% through the textbook, going to midterm review sessions and completely grinding whatever he gave us, and then going to every. single. discussion section and grinding what the TA gave us.

One more thing- Koffi really does care about the students and content. He loves math very much, and is the most passionate teacher (does not help him be more coherent though). He also took two of the hardest 32A topics off the final and made them homework only in response to the protests. He also made a homework assignment extra credit and added extra credit to the exam. In each class after the strikes, he would echo how he felt for everyone who was affected by conflict and he seemed really genuine.

TLDR: lecture confusing, everything else fine enough

Lectures were not helpful, but tests were extremely manageable, many often scoring 100s.

Professor Enakoutsa cares deeply about his students, he wants to make sure his students understand the material but at the same time moves very quickly through material (understandably so, there's a lot). There are quizzes every Friday which can get pretty daunting on top of the great amount of homework assigned which was often a week or two behind the material we were learning in class. He's a very entertaining lecturer and is very invested in what he's teaching often leading to him teaching topics that aren't pertinent to the class though I appreciate the detail for future classes.

he’s like so passionate about teaching that he’s terrible at teaching. his accent wasn’t terrible tbh, but his handwriting does get hard to read. i think what’s worse is koffi’s attitude. he’s not even passive aggressive at this point, just aggressive to the point even my ta calls him out in front of the class and the prof calling him unprofessional and rude. i had colin as my ta and he was amazing shoutout to him. after the first two classes i stopped paying attention to him during lecture and only attended to hear announcements. you will survive just going by the textbook, i survived because my friend goes to ucsd and was taking the same class and he sent me his teachers clean simple notes. his homework is ridiculous and i found no benefit in it when it came to actually applying the math. he assigns the hardest questions that will never be utilized in the midterms or finals. i definitely got complacent towards the end of the quarter but that’s just me, but overall this class is easy, but with the price of having to deal with the ridiculousness of the professor. also you can probably find him using his burner accounts on reddit attacking students who say his handwriting and teaching is bad.
