Professor Goff is really really great. I never thought I'd have an interest in developmental psych but her class made me want to take even more. Her lectures were so interesting, she explains everything really well. Her only downside I think is she lectures a little quickly BUT everything is recorded and posted on CCLE (attendance to lecture is optional) so you can rewatch her videos and slow her down to take notes. There's no textbook or reading materials; as long as you understand the lecture contents really well you should be fine for the exam, but it's not an "Easy A" class, you need to put in work. There are weekly assignments that are fairly simple but that's about it, and she offers extra credit.
Attendance for discussion section was also optional as everything was recorded. Personally, I didn't find them useful so you can definitely do without.
I definitely recommend this class and I DEFINITELY recommend this professor.

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.
