Spring 2021 - Definitely take this course, it's enjoyable, and the workload was my saving grace in this class. Most of us got A's and the professor is incredibly personable and works with her students, not against them. Although I felt like this class was easy, the quizzes can be slightly challenging for two reasons -- although its open book you have to answer those questions quick. I got an A on the midterm but I literally had like 2 minutes to spare to double-check answers. ALSO for the love of god, pay attention to the movies she shows in class. She asked like 6 questions about one of the films we viewed and I was not expecting that. Other than that, this class is a breeze and widens your perspective on parenting.

Spring 2023 - This class was probably my favorite elective course taken at UCLA. Not only is the subject itself interesting, but professor Goff is the type of person who genuinely is excited and passionate about teaching. She is extremely receptive to the class, and wants everyone to feel comfortable sharing even among touchy subject matter such as childhood trauma. The exams & homework were very fair, so long as you study and/or have a good understanding of concepts. Workload was nothing unmanageable.

Winter 2019 - 188B classes vary but the one I took this Winter was called "A Dynamic Perspective on Parenting" and it was excellent. We watched many documentaries, the lectures were entertaining, slides and audios of the lecture were posted on CCLE. The 4 written assignments were not difficult and I actually enjoyed writing them. The exams were multiple choice with one essay question (prompt was given in advance) and they were relatively easy as well. I love this class and I loved being taught by professor Goff! Take it!
