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.
