TAKE HIM! Professor Koffi is so good. I took him during the summer and I'm meh at math, but still understood it! He's really kind and always makes time to explain things to people, and doesn't say the typical "we're wasting time, just read the textbook to understand". He truly cares us, you can tell. The homework was a bit intense, but that's since it does help to build a better foundation and the exams are usually easier than the homework he assigns. It was a bit fast, but that was since it was summer, I'm sure. I'd take him again in a heart beat! Accent is a bit hard tp understand if you aren't used to it though- but you get used to it after a few weeks or so.

Koffi's lectures are pretty easy to follow. I sometimes complain that he goes over a concept for too long, but that can be good for some people. Pretty available for whenever you need extra help. Homework assignments are heavy. PLEASE don't save them for the last day. Overall solid professor and I wouldn't mind having him again.

I’ll start off by saying that math is not my strongest subject. I’m not sure if it’s because everything is remote and my adhd goes haywire because of the constant screen time, but I’ve found it take me loads longer to master the material. Luckily Professor Koffi is extremely helpful and understanding when it came to his students. I found his lectures moved very fast and could be confusing at times so I found it helped to follow along in the textbook. His exams were relatively easy as long as you’ve been keeping up with the material. The only downside of the class is the HW, there’s loads of it and a good portion of the questions were usually more difficult than the exam questions. With that being said, I preferred having more challenging HW than more difficult exams. Being able to take the time to work through the problems and ask questions during office hours helped me actually learn the material. Highly recommended

Amazing Professor! Koffi is incredibly intelligent so he somewhat rambles during lectures. Sometimes difficult to follow along. However, he's literally one of the most caring people I've ever met. Replies to emails at 4 am with paragraph-long answers and admits that he can't sleep because he worries if our final is fair. Quizzes and exams were very fair.

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!

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!

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.
