Reviews of professor Fode Tounkara

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst prof I've had at UofT. His lectures were pointless and his slides were even worse and full of mistakes. It's very hard to understand what he is saying because of his accent and his handwriting is really bad too. He didn't get anything done in lecture time. Tests were unreasonably hard.

A very kind man, he has a heavy accent but he really tries hard to make you understand and actually tries to deliver the materials the simplest way possible. Very accessible outside of class and I highly suggest going to his office hours, he cares about your grades and wants you to score high.

Hate this professor. He is very irresponsible and lazy. He always take other professors' past test and never post his past test. So struggling to learn this course.

Fode is actually a decent prof once you get past the language barrier (go to lectures & you'll get used to his accent). Office hours are blessed because he'll literally sit w you until you understand it. His tests are straight forward & there are never any tricks. Just keep up w the textbook hw and quizzes and you'll be fine. Lects can be dry tho.

He was a great professor, explained things in lecture very well. I benefitted from his lectures a lot. The tests are fair if you study well. His accent is a bit thick but you get used to it.

One of the most passionate profs I know. He is so willing to help students outside of class, and cares about his student and their understanding. He has a thick accent that it takes a bit of time to adjust to, but everything becomes clearer once you do. Anything that you don't understand can be explained in his office hours. 10/10 would recommend

You may feel boring in his lectures, but he explains and shows EVERY step of EVERY equation in great detail, which not many profs would do. He is a nice person, and his tests are usually easier than other instructors'. Try to look for his past exams as many as possible, you will know how he tests students.
