I must be the only moderate conservative attending NVCC. I guess if you're just interested in an easy "A", this is the class for you. He doesn't even read the few papers he asks you to write. Personally, I don't appreciate wasting my time. Didn't care for the constant onslaught of his ultra-liberal views either. YUCK!!

Hooray for liberals! I think anyone who studies sociology HAS to be liberal. He really understands whats going on in the world. He is a very smart man and should be respected and listened to. It's up to you if you want to learn. He wont force it on you, he just presents it to you, you do the rest.

Easy A. I missed a lot of classes, missing about 3 tests in total-- but took the optional test + optional final exam(probably didn't have to take these had I not missed the 3 mandatory tests), did the easy extra cr. work (critiques) and somehow ended up with a B. His classes are pretty interesting because you watch videos half the time.. :-)

Great teacher!! I had a lot of fun in class, and I loved how he used a combination of lecture, power point, videos, and in-class discussion to teach. I can't stand teachers who do nothing but read off of notes the entire time, and although we had a few classes like that, for the most part they were fun. I would highly recommend him!

I don't know why this professor gets such high marks. Sure he's nice I guess, but he is not very helpful at all. doesn't respond to emails, is very lazy and sounds like he's bored, and the classroom smells and is uncomfortable. the class was pretty easy but you learn NOTHING. somewhat of a waste of time, but if you want an easy A take him.

Easy class. Had some pretty good discussions. Curved all of my tests like 10-20% and that helped me get an A in the class. Very basic material, doesn't go in-depth. I did blogs, well on tests, but didn't do 7-UP assignment & got an A. Very easy class, but again, very basic. Hard to fail it. We laughed for about 80% of the class. Lots of movies.8/10

Mr. Ehle is such a fun, hilarious and caring teacher. I loved showing up to his class. He really enjoys when people refute his argument and it's a great way for him to learn your name (although he hilariously messes up). He's super sweet and gives a few tests with an optional test to raise your grade. Only 8 assignments total with a short paper.

He's an amazing teacher. Yes, he is an easy teacher but you will learn a lot through discussions. Take Prof Ehle!

Easiest class. Always adds points to every exam. 30 question exams (3 tests + 1 optional test, drops lowest test grade) but you only answer 20, leaving 10 blank. Easy homework once every 2 weeks & final is optional. 1 4-page paper that he gives everyone an A on. Literally impossible to not get an A.

Prof. Ehle is one of the best professors I've come across at NVCC. If you need a Social Science class don't hesitate to take him! 30 question exams (3 & 1 optional, drops lowest grade) but you only answer 20, leaving 10 blank. He's hilarious, sweet, and super blunt. His lectures are definitely fun and interesting and they bring up discussions!

Dr. Elhe was very sarcastic and his class was THE EASIEST. It seemed like a lot of work at first but all of it was super easy and requires very little effort. His quizzes were heavy but very easy. No final required. blackboard was used very often.

You get easy quizzes check. Easy and very informative homework check (discussion boards). Choose 1 out of literally hundreds of articles to read. Talks about politics. 1 project on 7-up which is quite an interesting project. Has one optional test. Drops the lowest test. Will roast late- people sometimes which is quite entertaining.

If you take Prof. Ehle's class once a week, you will have an exam every week. He does not lecture but will post the entire exam on BB. Only have to answer 20 out of 30 question on exam for 100%. One 4-page critique paper due at the end of the semester along with 5-6 Discussion Board critiques. Would recommend but you have to teach yourself.

This class was very easy. Very clear on what you need to know. However I didnt find his humor or sarcasm particularly charming and found his lectures to be a bit dry. He doesnt speak very loudly so if you have trouble hearing you might want to sit up front.

Majority of the time we spent watching a documentary every class for a 5 page critique after. Lectures are basically him just going over a PowerPoint he also puts on canvas for the tests, easy A. Gives extra credit if you do critiques
