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.

BEST CLASS. BEST TEACHER. The course is SO astoundingly interesting and surprisingly so easy. Like I was literally stunned by the amount of crazy (but awesome) info we learned. Also Goff is a QUEEN I love her. She is so kind, so funny, and such an amazing teacher. I ABSOLUTELY recommend taking this class WITH GOFF!

You should definitely take this class with Dr.Goff, this is easily one of my favorite classes at UCLA. The way everything is structured is great ! Your class may be different if taken during fall quarter as I took it in the summer. The breakdown for the summer class was 3 Written Exercises which have a specified prompt for the assignment related to the content of the class, we watch several films questions are asked in the exam, 2 exams, extra credit SONA. I would definitely take again, great class for upper division psychology elective.

Professor Goff was clear about her lecture contents, and the slides were helpful. However, some of the exam questions were tricky (even though the professor may not intend so). Students in this class were insanely competitive, but overall, it was manageable to get an A!

Good class
