I had him as a tutor and he has been extremely helpful. After a week or two, you can fully understand his accent and he cares about how you are doing as long as you put in the effort.Rate My Professors ↗

He doesn't give very clear explanations, and if you ask him to clarify he will get aggressive and confrontational. His class is extremely test heavy and combine that with the fact he is barely competent at teaching makes the class unnecessarily difficult.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Kaba is a great professor. At first he seemed intimidating, but he's one of the best math teachers I have had. He likes getting to know students by name, and he pretty much tells you the exact problems you'll see on exams. There is online homework but it's not too bad, and if you go in to office hours he very much willing to help you.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Kaba is a wonderful instructor and a hilarious person. When he would say "this problem will be on the exam," he wouldn't mean a similar problem, he literally meant that problem, same numbers and everything. Excellent teacher, definitely recommend.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Kaba is the best math teach I have ever had. If you attend lecture, he presents concepts and gives multiple examples for each. He knew most people's names in our lecture of around 70 people. Very funny guy, and truly cares about the well being of students. I wish I could take another class with him! Definitely recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
