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.

Fall 2025 - Professor Goff is very engaging and deeply cares about her students. Exams are closed note, but online and not proctored. The exams can be tricky as it may appear there is more than one right answer, but the questions are clear, and if you study the lecture notes, you will do well on the exams. She also does a mini field trip on campus for a lecture, which is very fun. Towards the end of each lecture, you have to submit a response to a question corresponding to the lecture for credit, but she excuses up to 4 of these if you miss class. There is one paper at the end of the quarter, but it is easy and only 2 pages double-spaced.
