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!!
EASY A Teacher. Tests are easy, only 25 questions where you can "omit" 5. Essays are easy, he grades easy too. You won't learn much, but good for your gpa.
Too easy. I made an A, but did not learn much. Views are very liberal. Open book/open notes tests are a joke.
He is an excellent teacher you will love him. He is nice and the test aren't hard at all. Plus you watch a movie which sometimes will take the whole block. He is excellent, fair, friendly, and funny. You should take his class....!!!!!
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.. :-)
Very funny and chill
Amazing prof. Test are multiple choice-EASY! And the movies that take up an entire class were fascinating. Loves arguments-Be prepared to defend your opinion if you argue a point.
He likes to discuss things in class and he can be mean... But he is an easy A!! If you go to class, do his online stuff, and do any extra credit... you have an A. Gotta love that!
I only came to half the classes and had no trouble. He gives really good notes and his tests and quizzes are really easy. There was only one paper all semester. You watch a lot of video clips in his class. He is funny and has a cool southern accent which I found fun to listen to.
Boring & Learning very little. But I got an A.
If you are an international like me, I recommend you not to take his class because it is so terrible. We watch movies all the time, which are so boring and hard to understand. I regret to take his class.
very interesting class, love the blogs, videos we watch, he's super nice, the class may be easy buts its because he doesnt make the class boring..and if you think it is then you're just boring and not open minded ... the Sociology Book is great too!
Great teacher, very happy i took him. About his remark in class, i think i know what they are talking about and i understand his remark was a little offensive but it's no reason to NOT take him.
He is a GREATTTTTT teacher!! I absolutely loved his class...he is also very funny :) The class is not hard at all. Definetely take his class...you will enjoy it alot!!
Prof. Ehle was great! I learned alot from taking his class. He made the class so interesting and fun! We rarely used the book except for some open book exams, and he gives you the opportunity to do extra credit to pick up your grade. Keep up with assignments and you will do great!!! I would definitely recommend taking Prof. Ehle!!
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 know a lot of people on this website say he is an easy A forget abt it i did the extra credit work did my 7 up review i got 3 A on exams never missed a class got 1 C and a D n ended up with a C i dont know how that happend but hes not a easy pro he says one thing but does another told us exam would be open book but made us take it closed book.
EHLE EHLE EHLE. He's a cute old man. I never knew i'd love sociology. He has tons of handouts (which I think is a waste of paper), but mind you, all of them are very interesting. he's a very good professor. He might look serious but when he talks its just funny. i learned a lot too. my 2 years at nova, n the 1st time i really read the textbook
he's great! i loved going to his class! he's a funny guy. we watched documentaries on just about everything. COMMENT ON HIS BLOG! his exams are multiple choice and true/false (some are even open book) his class was a lot of fun (and i learned stuff too. HAHA)
He is simply the best. So helpful, very interactive...you can't ask for more in a professor take him and you won't regret it.
He is an easy grader. But feminists beware. I left his class a couple of times very upset about the comments he made about women who want a career and a family. Don't take his class if you can't stand sexism.
he's a great professor, i absolutely loved his class. most tests are openbook, or he tells you exactly what you need to know.. you'll be fine as long as you pay attention and show up.. i missed 3 classes and he dropped my grade to a B even though I had all A's and one C, but i still really enjoyed his class!
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
i dunno how he gets high marks. he's lazy, boring, and unhelpful. he always sounds lethargic. the room smells bad and the seats are those kinds with the desk that slides up, which is so uncomfortable. i learned nothing in the class. boring...
Easy as****...I didnt know what I was doing but I got away with B
If you want to learn something don't take this teacher. You need an easy A Take this class.
You're pretty safe taking this class for the required SOC credits. He is personable and it is an EXTREMELY easy A. But comments about the room smelling bad are TOTALLY true. Seriously, put one of those "little-tree" car fresheners around your neck before you go. This isn't a forced kind of curriculum; just go with an open mind and learn something.
What an easy class, he doesn't really care what happens, he actually ends class early every day. Very easy A, I didnt really learn much. The whole class was basically based off of this old series 7-Up, which i couldnt see the purpose for in the class.
The easiest class I have ever taken. I didn't study for a single test, because I didn't have to - they are based on common sense. He is a funny guy, and nice to students, I recommend him if you need to take SOC, but I will say, that you probably won't learn a thing.
All those comments about the room smelling funny are just rude; it smells fine. If you smell something it may just be you. His class was easy and he's very nice and all the stuff in class was so interesting! I loved it!
GREAAAAAT teacher! I didn't think I'd be interested in sociology at all before I took it but he makes it interesting! He cracks jokes and really cares if you're learning. Tests are NOT difficult if you just read the articles he hands out. TAKE HIS CLASS! He's awesome
:) He is great!! He has been teaching at NOVA for awhile and really knows what he's talking about. He makes class fun and interesting and has a good sense of humour. He is also very understanding and an easy grader. I highly recommend him!!!
so... i moved away mid semester and when i moved back to NOVA i discovered i actually passed his class... i have no idea how... i'm pretty sure it's impossible to fail. maybe because i did well while i was there and i told him i was leaving. i dont know. he's coool :)
Professor Ehle is one of the best teachers in NOVA. He's very friendly and sincere. On top of that, his conventional method of teaching makes it easier to understand the material so therefore, you don't need to study for most of his tests as long as you pay attention in his class. His sense of humor is brilliant and his class is enjoyable all ar
Take this for an easy A. I enjoyed the movies we watched in class. There are a couple of (not hard, just study your notes and handouts) exams, blogging, one paper, and that's it. The final exam is voluntary if your grade is over a C. You won't learn much, but take him for SOC!
He is the best teacher i ever had. I always enjoyed his lectured. Always fun. Final exam is optional. It was my fault for getting a B instead of an A since i didn't do the extra credit and was tardy. Tests are easy just memorize the vocabs from the chapters and its an easy A. When he makes you write down notes its not neeeded. The book is easier.
One of the best teachers i've ever had, he's really fun, and makes everything interesting! good debate class, speak up he likes people who have interest in the subjects we discuss in class! his test are kinda tough, but just keep up w/ the notes! A+++++ TEACHER!!!
If you want to learn something don't take him. If you just want and A then he's fine! Just make sure you READ the book and study the vocab for each chapter, thats whats on the tests, not so much his notes. Also post to the forum every week and do the extra credit, otherwise he will try to give you a B even though it's "extra credit"
Easy class. Alot of videos. Takes attendance everyday. Be preasent on days after tests because he gives free points when grading tests as a class.
it was the easiest class at nova. if you can't pass this class with grade of A, then you are considered as a dumbass.
kill yourself if you dont get an A in this class
Some test were take home. The ones in class you just basically have to study your vocab. Pretty easy class. FINAL is OPTIONAL! Professor Ehle is funny also
I haven't got a grade for this class, but I'm sure its gonna be high. his tests are pretty straight forward no trick questions and most of all, hes a cool guy. he'll give you lots of opportunities to get a good grade. do all the extra credits and blog entries
One of the best teachers ever. How can you not like this guy? Really, an easy A
Professor Ehle is really funny. He comes off as a tough guy, but hes really easy going, and he's someone you'd like to have a beer with. He likes participation, and he lays everything out so you are completely prepared for his tests. Minimal effort= VERY easy A.
Professor Ehle is a funny professor. His tests are straight forward. Do the paper, blogging and show up for class, and you should receive a high grade. If you don't learn anything in this class it is your own fault! I wouldn't say this class is an easy A alot - I know alot of people in my class who didn't. Final - optional!
Good professor overall. Easy class. Didn't need the book just went to the book's online site and did a couple of practice tests. I recommend you just read the articles he says will be on the exams skim the chapters or whatever helps you. The exams are super easy! He tells you what the final is. I ended with an A. :)
He is very funny. There is a massive extra credit project which severely boosts your grade. Two projects, but they are fairly easy and almost no homework. You will watch a lot of videos in class. Maybe 2/5 of the time. You must have access to the computer for this class. Blogging online is a major part of your grade. He's a liberal though.
EASY A!!
Hello guys, choose him he is the one, father of sociology. She knows how to relate the concept of the text book to the movies. It makes class funn and less stress but turn of article to read for test. He can give study tips for the exam. He is good.
TAKE HIM best Sociology professor.
Best SOC teacher at NOVA! Super funny and likes classes that speak up. 7Up series is interesting and you really get to know the kids. You can tell he loves his job.
Mr Ehle was awesome! He was really funny and none of the things he ever gave us were difficult to read. I never got tired of going to his class.
Professor Ehle has been teaching for many years, yet you don't get old info... he is an excellent choice if you don't mind doing the assigned work. If he taught in the higher levels, I would definitely choose his classes. Best wishes.
Very funny, i love his teaching! no stress class..not hard...you just have to read:)
Super cool professor, he's extremely funny and his class is super easy. Ehle's class was the only class I looked forward to. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CAN!
Easy A!!!!!!!!!! only real work is the five page paper. All the test are 20 questions drops three lowest
In the beginning, I felt that I was lost and I did not know what to do, but eventually I made it. Great professor great subject. Attend, critique some topics on bb, take the quizzes and you will be fine. I got B without the final.
So easy. I almost never went, and I never wrote the paper we were assigned... I thought I was gonna get an F but I got a B. Although I barely went, the class actually was interesting. We watched a documentary for like half of the semester. Take his class! I liked him a lot.
Got an easy A=EASIEST professor ever! ALL of his tests are EASY (comes straight off his notes and textbook);final is optional depending if you want to bring up your grade which he will tell you. When it's movie time, SLEEP! it feels so good especially when the room is like a theater. LOL! Overall, PLEASE TAKE HIM!
He's a good professor but be prepared to argue your points if he calls on you. His class is a good arena to inform your ignorant classmates of your arguing power. In the debates and discussions we had I WRECKED everyone but that is because I have passion and intelligence. Take his class if you want to argue with him and classmates!
I got an A in his class. I enjoyed it, but it got boring sometimes. He was helpful and funny at times :) Don't be a slacker and I'm sure you can get an A. Totally recommend him!
Really easy
Really eassy but make sure you pay attention to the random lectures because those are the most interesting. Homework is easy aswell as the exams and also gives extra points on exams for being early. Great professor
Try to get A's and B's on tests. Do the critiques, research paper (not hard at all), and extra credit (again not hard at all) and you will definitely end up with an A. He drops some low grades!
All you really have to do is listen in class, do the work and you're set. He doesnt ask for too much and you actually learn something. Do the critiques, paper, study for the tests and you're fine! Has sense of humor and hes well relaxed and fair grader!
Professor Ehle has a great class. His class is easy. His test can be a bit tricky, but just study and you should be fine. Getting a B or an A should be no problem. He gives extra credit, and drops the lowest grade. Make sure you due the critiques and the paper.
Need to study and pay attention when he is talking and giving information about tests but for the most part its an interesting class and you have extra credit. The final is optional
Looks and talks like Elmer Fudd. Good professor though, for the most part. His notes are all on ppts but he goes through them rather quickly so it's hard to take notes and he does NOT put them on BB. Requires BB participation in the form of blogs and discussion EVERY week. Not much Hw, don't have to read the book, but he does give an open book test
One of the greatest teacher at nova. He is lenient and helpful unlike other psychology teachers. His class is very easy and gives many easy tests. Tests are 30 ? Omit 10 ?. Very lenient teacher and easy to get along. Highly recommend him for an greater GPA!!! Very happy to be in his class because he is great towards students.
Prof. Ehle is a good guy and an awesome professor. He's very lenient and will help you do well. The course consists of writing your opinion of a current issue (of your choosing) once every 2 weeks, studying for the quizzes (6 of them, and a bonus & final that replace your lowest score that are optional), and a 4-page paper. Take him if you can!!
He is the man! Great professor, quizzes and tests are easy A's because he prepares you well for each exam. Just Awesome, take him!
Professor Ehle is one of those 'once' brilliant people that didn't 'lose it' per se but rather left it behind for a couple of drinks and a good time (You'll only get it if you take him)... He is brilliant and clear on what you need to do. He is sarcastic an dhis his sense of humor is solely based on a been-there-done-that basis. Take him and study.
Ready to help to ensure your success if you participate in class discussion and blackboard, attend class, write you paper. I loved every bit of this class. Fascinating!
Simply the best!!! If you need a social science credit do not hesitate do take Professor Ehle he is very nice and has been teaching at nova for so long. Easy A!!! Make sure you do the extra credits it will help a lot at the end of the course. Oh and final is optional he tells you your overall grade and its up to you if you want to take it.
A great professor who has been teaching for more than 47 years at NOVA! I recommend him to anyone who wants a laid back teacher who allows class to be fun and relaxing but also a great learning experience.
To be honest I rarely showed up to this class. I only showed up when there was a test, and when he passed the tests back out (because sometimes he gives extra credit on those days). I still ended up with a passing grade. His lectures are long and slow but he's pretty funny and you watch a lot of cool videos. I recommend him!
Professor Ehle is just great! I really enjoyed taking his class. I must say that his tests are a little confusing, however, he gives you study guides and makes it easier. Do your study guides first, if you don't find the answer, ASK! He will tell you! He doesn't like people talking in his class or checking cellphones. He will call you out.
I came like 3 times to class the entire semester xtremely stoned and i got a B. Literally best teacher ever. Grading criteria is very confusing and he doesnt give back tests but totally does what he can to help you pass if you show effort
Prof. Ehle is a nice guy, but the classes can get boring after awhile as they normally consist of a powerpoint and/or an extremely long video. Other than that, the tests are quite easy and showing up is somewhat optional.
Very good professor. He knows what he is talking about. Very interesting lectures and really likes when students comment on things and give their opinion. Also a funny guy. Test weren't hard, he gives all the answers in lecture. Overall great professor, would take a class he taught again.
He is the best teacher!! Easy to understand, we watch interesting movies and he gives extra credit! As long as you listen and come to class you will pass with flying colors!!! Take him before he retires
He is a fantastic teacher!!! He is easy fair grader!!! Just go to class and listen,which won't be hard he is interesting
Awesome teacher! Very blunt, not scared of open discussions about anything and everything. Videos almost every class, slept through about all of them. Just do your work - easy A take him!
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!
Best Professor ever! He's a really funny guy and is very straight forward, lectures are amazing and not to mention out of the 3 test exams he takes the lowest grade out and the final is optional. i've recommended him to so many of my friends and i'd take him again if i could. just trust me and TAKE HIMM!!!!
great instructor with a light sense of humor. easy exams as long as you pay attention to his lectures. offers a optional final. an easy A as long as you listen and go over notes
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM, EASY A OR B. AS LONG AS YOU SHOW UP TO CLASS AND DO ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS THAT IS REQUIRED YOU WILL PASS EASILY. HE IS VERY FUNNY WITH KIND HEART! I LOVE HIM! I HAD A GREAT SEMESTER WITH HIM. HE IS VERY RESPECTFUL.
Very Easy professor. Tests are very easy most of the questions are common sense. Barely studied and got an A
I took this class during the Summer. He is a great teacher. very calm and understanding. he will help you outside of class if you don't understand the subject.
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
