Winter 2019 - This has been my favorite class so far at UCLA. Dr. Goff is an amazing professor and has amazing lectures and uses funny and engaging examples to help students understand. I wanted to go to a lecture every day and enjoyed all of the topics I learned in this class. The hardest part is the group project just because it's hard to have others' work count as your own. Would take this class again in a heartbeat. The only downside is the class is out of 150 points which means you need to do well on the tests but they aren't hard and you can drop one of the two midterms. There is also extra credit you can earn by participating in studies on campus. Go to her office hours the day before the exam because they are very helpful. 10/10 recommend to anyone debating this class.

Winter 2021 - This is the third class I've had with Professor Goff, but she proves herself through and through to be an amazing lecturer and an absolute treat!! Her lectures are always so engaging and she knows how to communicate her material in a manner that is easy to digest. She makes her material relatable and her personal anecdotes were always relevant and entertaining. This class was super relatable, practical and eye opening to the world of parenting and I got so so much out of it. More than anything though, Professor Goff just genuinely cares for her students and has a big heart for teaching that was easily observable by anyone in class. I highly recommend those who take the class to take advantage of office hours because Professor Goff is very approachable and knowledgeable in the field. At one point, we got behind in lectures because we had so many questions because the material was so interesting, but Professor Goff was generous enough to offer to record extra (optional) lectures on topics we may have been interested in yet unable to hit in class. Man, that just shows where her heart and dedication is for education and her students...seriously so admirable. In terms of material and workload, this class is extremely manageable. Honestly, the bare minimum to succeeding in this class is simply listening to all the lectures and doing the 4 written assignments (which were all very straight forward and often asked for our own thoughts). Exams were all multiple-choice and fair. I was never caught off-guard by any of the questions or material that showed up on the exams. JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and take any class offered by Goff if you can! Reviews won't do her justice.
