Winter 2025 - Grading scheme for this class is: exam 1 - 40 points, exam 2 - 40 points, exam 3 - 40 points, in class written assignments (12 of 15) - 60 points total, final paper (2 pages double spaced) - 20 points. The exams were all MCQ and pretty fair, but some questions were trickily written in a way where multiple answers could be genuinely aruged as correct. Exams are not cumulative. Dr. Goff records audio only of lectures and shows a lot of videos in class that are tested on exams. She also requires attendance through a short written assignment at the end of each class meeting (I believe she also mentioned that she tracks the location of where the assignments are submitted from) so there's not really a way to skip this class and I would really recommend attending in person. She provides 10-15 minutes in class to get the assignment done. There weren't really any readings for this class. The first midterm was made online due to the LA fires and the final was online as well (no lockdown browser or proctoring.) Dr. Goff is a wonderful, engaging lecturer and I think she's really approachable/easy to talk to. This class is pretty easy and relatively interesting, and it doesn't require an insane amount of work to get an A. I would recommend taking it.
