Overall I would say that Mr Enakoutsa is a very passionate and sweet professor who wants his students to participate, learn, and be passionate. I think he teaches pretty well — he is not the clearest math professor at UCLA but he makes up for it by being interactive with students during lecture. There were multiple times when he would ask the class a question and no one would know how to answer. From this, he would realise that no one understood him the first time and so he repeated the concept so that we would actually understand.

But, I would say that there are a few flaws with the way the quarter panned out, especially in the homework workload. The homework load was reasonable, but the Professor's requirement that everything had to be coded in Latex was not. By week 6-7, we were doing complex integral work that took easily an additional 2-3 hours each week just to code into Latex, which I didn't think the Professor had considered when assigning the homework, and definitely added unneeded stress. Secondly, in week 6-7, the professor had not completed teaching what was required on the homework before it was due. He did extend the deadline, but obviously this is not a preferable situation. Lastly, his midterm weighed 40% which I flunked while studying for 131A the same week LOL. To compensate for this, he made all homeworks after week 7 optional and offered an extra credit option.

My point here is that taking Math 42 with Prof. Enakoutsa is probably going to be a little less structured than the regular math class, but overall he is reasonable and sensitive to students' needs, and will accommodate you if you communicate with him. He might make a mistake (we're human and Math 42 is a difficult class to structure), but he is sure to make up for it. But I wouldn't recommend taking this class with other difficult math classes (Math 131A and above) because the unpredictability might cause extra stress given an already large workload. But if Math 42 is the class you are focusing most of your attention on, you'll probably have a great time (the course content is pretty interesting after week 4).

Very nice and bright Professor!

I had the pleasure to take prof kofi class and I must say that it was the best academic experience I have had. Koffi was always available to answer questions and provide detailed feedback about the assignment. I strongly recommend him.

I had the pleasure of taking Math 42 with Professor Koffi and can confidently say that it was one of the most rewarding academic experiences of my college career. From the very first day of class, it was clear that Professor Koffi was not only incredibly knowledgeable in their field but also deeply passionate about teaching and helping students learn.

One thing that really stood out to me was Professor Koffi's ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging. He had a knack for breaking down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and using real-world examples to illustrate them. Additionally, Professor Koffi was always available to answer questions, whether in class or outside of it, and provided thoughtful and insightful feedback on assignments.

Beyond his expertise in the subject matter, Professor Koffi was also a wonderful mentor and role model. He encouraged intellectual curiosity and critical thinking, and challenged us to think deeply about the implications of what we were learning. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious, and I always left class feeling inspired and motivated.

Overall, I would highly recommend Professor Koffi to anyone looking for an engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate educator. His dedication to teaching and his students is truly exceptional, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from them.

Take him if you want a good grade. However, the class is very unorganized and assignment due dates and grade scheme are very vague. You will need to do a lot of self-learning.
