Absolute disorganized mess of a class. Nobody had any idea what was going on... I'd often make eye contact with random people while leaving the classroom and we'd shake our heads at each other in disbelief. Lectures were incoherent, and homeworks were incredibly difficult, usually unrelated to the material covered in class, and often required coding knowledge that was not a prerequisite for the class. I personally found the homeworks very interesting, but I was basically teaching them to myself, and anyone who didn't have any prior coding, modeling, or differential equations knowledge literally couldn't do them.

Instead of having us sign up for a time slot to present our final projects, the professor told us to come to a classroom and present "in the order that we arrived". I know groups that showed up at 8am, waited for four hours until 12pm, and then had to leave without presenting because they had another final exam to go to. In addition to being incredibly disrespectful towards our time, I believe this is against department policy, but since I got an A in the end I'm not going to rock the boat.

He grades very leniently, and he basically dropped most people's midterm scores (an exam which was mostly on differential equations stuff that he'd barely discussed). If you do the assignments you will get an A, but you will be stressed out and won't learn much of anything. If you find the material interesting then try and take it with another professor, if you don't then take Koffi and strap in.

Not gonna lie very disorganized class and unclear expectations on exams and homework/projects. Even the TA has no idea what's going on. Though he said attendance is not required he'll get upset if people are not coming and it may impact your grade.

Worst class I've ever taken. Genuinely awful experience. Totally tedious and useless. The group project was great but that was because I had really great group members; it had nothing to do with the instructor. Towards the end of the quarter people stopped showing up to lecture (because lecture was so useless) and Koffi said that they were "wasting their lives" and that if they got hired by Boeing, he would never fly in a Boeing plane again. Koffi is a very kind person but this class was awful. Complete waste of your time.
