This was the second class I've taken with Professor Goff, and it was once again incredible! The content is super interesting, and there is nothing very difficult to grasp. I'm definitely very overwhelmed about the idea of parenting after taking this class, but I am also way more informed about it. Even though this was my *fourth* quarter in online school, I was able to be engaged in the class just because there's so much cool stuff you learn about. There was always new stuff I learned in class that I would share with my friends and roommates. Workload-wise this is a much easier class than some others at UCLA. Mainly all you need to do is go to lecture. There's like 4 (short) written assignments you need to complete throughout the quarter, but those aren't bad at all. Then, there's the Midterm and Final, which had some tricky questions, but they were open-note so it was entirely fine. I would definitely recommend taking this class with Professor Goff if you have any interest in being a parent one day or just learning about parenting!

Professor Goff is so incredible, she really brought this class to life (especially important during times of online learning). The class was straightforward, her lectures were clear and there was no gap between the information taught in lecture and what was expected of you on the exams. Some relatively short writing assignments to deepen your knowledge and reflection on the material that were pretty easy. Overall, a great course that I would recommend to anyone interested in the content material

This is the third class I've had with Professor Goff, but she proves herself through and through to be an amazing lecturer and an absolute treat!! Her lectures are always so engaging and she knows how to communicate her material in a manner that is easy to digest. She makes her material relatable and her personal anecdotes were always relevant and entertaining. This class was super relatable, practical and eye opening to the world of parenting and I got so so much out of it. More than anything though, Professor Goff just genuinely cares for her students and has a big heart for teaching that was easily observable by anyone in class. I highly recommend those who take the class to take advantage of office hours because Professor Goff is very approachable and knowledgeable in the field. At one point, we got behind in lectures because we had so many questions because the material was so interesting, but Professor Goff was generous enough to offer to record extra (optional) lectures on topics we may have been interested in yet unable to hit in class. Man, that just shows where her heart and dedication is for education and her students...seriously so admirable.
In terms of material and workload, this class is extremely manageable. Honestly, the bare minimum to succeeding in this class is simply listening to all the lectures and doing the 4 written assignments (which were all very straight forward and often asked for our own thoughts). Exams were all multiple-choice and fair. I was never caught off-guard by any of the questions or material that showed up on the exams.
JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and take any class offered by Goff if you can! Reviews won't do her justice.
