He is very passionate on the subject. Course criteria is set up in very ambitious manner. You feel like you are taking an advanced course. Because of ambitious layout, he must move at a very fast pace to fit everything in. You can attend every class, take notes, and still fail. Pray you end up in a good group for project grades.

I took this professor's Business Math class. I had the worst experience ever! I didn't have a very good group and ALL the homeworks you do are group project and then you have 2 big projects during the semester. It obviously seems like he knows the material but he is terrible at teaching it. If you take his class you will definitely get frustrated.

First things first, Nene teaches two courses you HAVE to take as a business major, so there's no getting around him. But why would you want to? His approach to math is surprisingly laid-back, a welcome technique for those who (like me) aren't great at math.

This class was only lectures. You followed along while he solved different problems, there was no class participation. He almost always made a mistake too. I relied on outside sources to teach me the math and eventually just stopped attending the lectures all together. We had connect Homework so that helped with the grade and we had test reviews.

Okay. This is a straight up review from a 3.3 GPA student. Not too smart, not too stupid. Yes, this is a tough class. His accent is rough at first and he is a little bit rude, but overall, he teaches everything clearly, makes a few mistakes (but corrects them) and is straightforward, no tricks. It's not easy, but either do work or creatively cheat.

When I first took Professor Coulibalys class I thought I would never take another class by him, but I know realize that is a mistake because the rest of my math professors have been horrible. He does have an accent that can be hard to understand sometimes but it is manageable. He gives plenty of examples in class and his test are very fair,
