Great teacher, passionate about math. Clear!!!

Incredible teachers, knows his stuff, explains very CLEARly, nice guy also

EXCELLENT teacher, i recomend him for EMAT 213 and 233.

The best! Explains really well and is really funny!!

Excellent teacher for math. He explains well. No need to cheat!

Math is this guy'ss life! He loves it, and conveys that love to you, makes class a lot of fun and inspiring. Explains well, despite his rough accent. I wish he taught more EMATs!

Amazing teacher. Very funny. Sometimes lacks control of the class. He gives very easy exams, open book, but gets all the material across. Highly recommended. Knows everything there iss to know about math

"IT'S CLEAR?" asking the whole class while leaning and looking at the guy on the first row. Man that student must feel awkward everytime. I do like his russian math, and how he likes to disagreed with american notations.

He's hard to understand sometimes because of his thick Russian accent, but overall he's a good teacher. I recommend sitting in the first or second row.

it is easy for you to get A+ in his class. besides, he is very smart and helpful.

love this guy .. the best professor ever! .. he doesnt waste time on stuff we already know .. u should be prepared for each class and u r very good

I liked his classes. Take him

Well, he explains things quite well... Gives some tips in a funny way so that we actually remember them. Otherwise, some parts remained unclear but the textbook helped.

Great teacher!!! Although there is a language barrier he tries really really hard to teach you as best he can!!! Take him! Really nice and helpful!! Go to class because some of the stuff he goes over is not necessarily in the book but is on exams. Recommended!!

Although he has accent(but it doesn't matter cause he doesn't speak very fast), he explains questions well. I didin't read book or do extra materials, just attend his class and I learnt things. The most important, he gives really easy mid-term test and good final marks. I would advise my friends to take him!

He is a great teacher, will teach the material so that you will not even need the book! Has a heavy accent, but if you know and like math, this guy will make the class a breeze. Hints a lot for the exams, easy tests. People that complain are terrible at math to begin with.

If u attend all his classes and u are 100% attentive this course will be quite enjoyable. He makes it a lot less theoretical than it should be (ie easier than it should be ) always available to help!! I have to agree that hes disorganised but thats simply because he has so much math knowledge that he is trying to express and so little time

Just attend his lectures and you will do good. He is a very nice teacher.

Makes concepts easier to understand. Does examples and solves sample problems together with the class. I find his lecture useful but reading the book is definitely a must. Very quirky professor, says unexpectedly funny things with a straight face.

By far one of the best math profs at Concordia. This guy is a true genius who has a passion for math. His explanations are generally good and he does alot of examples. He is hilarious without even trying and the class is a joy to attend. I definitely would recommend him.

Great man, he knows his material by heart, doesn't need a book, only his old Russian book for problems. It is rare to find someone like him at Concordia, he teaches the method and how did u get the method, if you re not very good at Integration, go study, his Exams are Exactly what he says but easier,same as the problems in assignments.

Very Helpful! His midterms are pretty easy. He actually tells you whats gonna be on the midterm. He knows his material very well and is willing to help you even if you know nothing about the course.

He is a nice man and does a decent job. His occasional jokes make the class less dull. He explains everything rather quickly (we were always ahead of the other sections) but clearly, and will repeat anything if asked. His preparation for the final was good, we got many sample questions and he helped sove them and gave tips.

This teacher is laid-back which made me enjoy going to his course. Be advised that he skips right through beginner stuff. Pros: enjoyable lectures, knows his stuff, makes you like math Cons: fast paced, lengthyhard problems solved in class can get confusing

Easy grader, straight forward he tells you exactly what to expect on midterms and finals plus he's funny. The class is a bit confusing because OEDs sound complicated in theory. he starts with the theory, but if you just wait for the example you'll see how easy it is. He gives good tips. Just go to class and take notes fast... before he erases it.

A lot of people don't like this guy, but I think hes a good teacher. Pros: Gives very good explanations and good methods for solving problems efficiently so you actually learn. Tells you exactly what will be on each mid-term. Cons: Skips over certain important material which is on the final. Might not give part marks on mid terms.

Really good teacher, explains well, fair marker, easy tests overall really good

Explains well and solves lots of USEFUL problems. He is so talented and makes lots of fun in lecture. Tutorial classes are useful, and prepare you for final. Final was easier than what he taught in class. Sometimes he is confusing, but if you take a look at the book everything will be OK. Fair marker; if u go to his lecture, your grade will be A+

Loved him! Really enjoyable lectures. He's very straight to the point, so he goes really fast with the material and you have to practice to keep up. Make sure you're comfortable with cal 2 material and remember it because integration will be used a lot in this class and he assumes you really know it.

The class is very easy! If you go to his lectures and do examples with him, you will get your A+. Examples are exactly the same as what you get on the exams, only numbers are different. I got A without even looking at the book.

What a gem! He has a weird sense of humour, which i found to be funny. This helped make the lectures easy to follow. The midterms were challenging but you knew exactly what to study for and he prepares you for them. He is very knowledgable on the subject and has a great way of conveying the material as well ass tips and tricks.

Better you regularly come to his office hours and ask questions, many questions. His explanations are not always clear, listen carefully and ask to repeat everything and to make it as clear as possible, ask for similar examples etc. I took his classes twice, to get a good mark you need to demonstrate your interest, that you care and work HARD

Pretty monotone and boring lecturer. But teaches the class and gets the job done. Very fair grader as well

Awesome teacher, with a very peculiar sense of humor. Tells you exactly what's on the midterms. Covers the theory quickly and focuses on important examples. Word of warning though, he goes FAST, and assumes that you are very comfortable with Cal 2 and Linear concepts, so come to class prepared.

Good professor. Experienced. Knows what and how to teach. Lots of examples in lectures to learn from. Keep up and you will do fine. If lectures are too difficult, attend and learn from the tutorials.

Good teacher. Once you get passed the strong Russian accent, if you listen in class, you'll do great, especially with a good tutor. I put in minimum effort and got an A.

Hes a great lecturer but sit in the front because its hard to hear him from the back. Personally didnt find his Russian accent hard to understand. He grades very leniently but his final this semester was terribly difficult. Did all the examples in the book and still struggled with some questions on the final. Won't take again for that reason.

He is a genuine math teacher. He does so many examples in the class and tries to involve students. So try not to miss even one session of his class if you want to get a good grade. Would take him again definitely.

For online ENGR233 class he posts prerecorded videos, he explains the theory really well and does alot of examples which help. His exams and quizzes are on the easier side if you spend time doing the numbers and understanding them well. You won't do well if you don't do the numbers and there's alot of them. Webworks are long but theres bonus points

Kokotov is simply a one-of-a-kind genius, his knowledge about the field of Mathematics & Calculus is genuinely on another stratosphere. Also, the way he conveys the material to his students is simply sublime. I loved him so much as a teacher, he earns my utmost respect!! Always gives good grades at the end to deserving students.

Amazing professor, explains very well with lots of examples. On the final will give full marks even if made a calculation mistake if the solution is right. Midterms very easy of attended the lectures, gives a lot of guidelines of what to expect on the final. Downside a little chaotic, so you need to follow in order not to get lost.

Outstanding one-of-a-kind professor at Concordia. His knowledge exceeds the limits of the skies. The way he conveys information to his students is simply tremendous. Take him for any course you can. Final exam was a breeze if you actually studied as you should, he prepared us very well. TAKE HIM!

pros: hints exam questions during class (subtly but thoroughly), a genius, explains concepts with immense understanding and clarity, HILARIOUS! cons: heavy accent, quite chaotic during class, doesn't like the textbook, hates fighting for grades ADVICE: attend EVERY class, do every exercise done IN CLASS again, and be ready to write after him. GLHF

I took ENGR 233 for the second time after taking it with Alexander Paradis the first time, I did much better this time and I thank Kokotov for it, not to mention his fair exams and grading. For those saying his finals are hard but midterms aren't, remember that he makes the midterm, but the final is made by all profs teaching the course

The professor is hilarious and his midterms are also pretty easy. He teaches completely on a blackboard with chalk and doesn't upload any resources online, so you've got to attend his classes to do well. He gives full marks even if you make calculation errors.

you can easily find his midterms 1 and 2 online. the midterms he gives are very very similar, make sure to write down any formulas you had to use on the practice exams on your formula sheet, as you'll likely see it on the actual test. the final was curved heavily. lots of fails for some reason but i bungled the midterm and final and still got a+

He's truly mastered the art of the perfect lecture: they begin with confusion (the tension), build toward understanding (the rising action), and end with a satisfying realization. He even ends with a well-timed joke. I haven't need to go to office hours, the textbook is clear.

The man, go to lectures and listen and the course is very easy.
