Goldman is a great professor and really knows what she's talking about, especially concerning writing/journalism. This was probably one of the most practical classes I've taken at UCLA - I feel like I can apply this knowledge outside of the classroom. The whole class is based on refining your writing, which can be useful for anyone. She is very funny and although the grading on the writing can be harsh, she is fair and does it with the intention of helping you learn and grow. There was about one assignment per week, assigned on Mondays and due on Wednesdays, in addition to relatively light reading assignments. Definitely take this class if you want to improve your writing.
