She's really cool but she sounds mean and hard at the beginning. It's an interesting class and you won't be bored. Her tests are not hard, but she thinks they are for some reason.
If you like discussions on current events whether they pertain to the class or not, then this is the class for you. Her tests/quizzes are not difficult. Personally, I think she played the favorites game.
Class not too demanding, study book very important
A lot of reading after class but few notes in class. Need to know very well on both textbook and study guide in order to get an A.
Reading your text book and study guide will guarentte A.She reads the text book in class and strays allot from the topic. Its a flashback to high school. She assigns seats and no leaving early on her bad days. She will scold you in front of others. Crazy teacher but easy.
very funny, intresting.. loves to bring current events and tie it into what your learning... she's a great teacher.. i totally recomemnd her!
This is the teacher to take. SHe was very clear with all the concepts and gave a lot of detail on everything we learned in class. Had a lot of examples for us. You learn your stuff with this teacher.
Great teacher
If anyone ever wants to take a sociology class, take it with Dr. Kahla. I took her for 2 semesters only because I found her to be really interesting. Her tests are easy only because you'll actually learn something in that class. She will make you participate in class by asking a lot of questions, but believe me,she is super nice.

I love Kahla! When God created good people, her name was in hand. She may be strict with people that are tardy, but hey it's there fault-if they are not responsible enough to show up on time (your'e in college now baby cakes). She is a good teacher and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in sociology.
The class is intresting but the test aint easy I think she plays with favoritism.She can be rude and strict at times.She makes you read to much
she is an AWESOME TEACHER... her test/quizzes are very easy if you just study and read the book. she likes it when you speak your opinion. by the end of the sememster make sure she knows your name and face. it's an easy A. she plays favorites!
She a very understanding teacher. There is no way u can fail this class. Class participation helps your grade a lot. Test...hmm they are easy the subject is so interesting that it is not hard to study and pass the tests. She is very influential and is always available for any student who needs her help (professionally and as a teacher)Take her!!
Dr. K is not "Hard" She simply demands respect from her class & she deserves it. This is a Great teacher and you will learn alot! The more you participate & show interest in the class the better your grade will be. Don't be Late! Tests were a little tricky, not the "Easiest A" but none the less she's a captivating instructor & worth the effort!
Class lecture straight from the book, this semester she got off track each day talking stuff not on test, boring. Must participate, shows favortism. GRADE SCHOOL TEACHER DEMANDS
READ THE BOOK FOR TESTS! IT WILL make it way easier if you do. Class participation does make a difference, also if you are there on time. She may single you out at times, so make sure you back up what you are saying with something else than just your opinion. overall, she is an awsomeO teacher.
SHE IS A NICE TEACHER!
Good Teacher. She is a challenge.
Kiss her butt comment on her several random moments of talking about her life story, where she lived and what she has done...blah blah. Might as well take online course. Not in order, not organized. Take notes and read the each chapter covered.
THIS TEACHER IS FREAKING AWESOME!!! She knows how to teach, and has an awesome sense of humor!!! She's also very involved with her students...highly recommended!

Shes a cool ass person. Just dont **** around in class and its all good. Shell be cool with you and get you a good grade, as long as you dont have that cell phone on in class!!
Exellent teacher.. I liked her lectures and class discussions.. If you are involved and it makes a difference if u read and participate.. her class consists of reading quizes and tests.. Not hard to pass at all.. just Respect her and u will be more than ok!!!
she is just a fun person! she makes the class so much fun.
One of the easiest classes ever. All you have to do is show up and read the book to ace the test. You don't even have to listen to her lectures because everything she says is from the book. but her lectures are still interesting to listen to.
One of the most down -to- earth teachers I've yet to meet here at ELAC. Bumped into her while running around campus trying to add one more class to my schedule, she graciously offerred to add me to one of her classes and it quickly became my favorite class of the semester. The text is very current and she makes it very interesting. Great Professor.
she was a good teacher. i liked her class and the textbook that accompanied it. very interesting! the honors class had to write a long research paper, but we had months to do it. her quizzes are quite easy if you read the chapter, take notes on it, and take good notes for her lectures. she lets you have a cheat sheet for the final.
very nice help instructor, she's very easy going and able to work with students, as long as you don't interrupt her in class, and do a "little" take home work, you will get an "A" enough said here, over all she's very pleasent one
she makes it so clear and easy to understand. she also gets you involved, and also helps you in case you need it.
She is not helpful at all! She doesn't give you dates of tests. There are too many quizes and tests(6 or 7quizes and 4 tests). She almost gave us quiz every week. Doesn't understand personal circumstances and doesn't help student who are not doing well. Would never take her again!
Great class and discussions! Test not too bad, on some book and discussion.
awesome teacher, lectures were very fun and interesting (i never fell asleep in her class!) the tests are simple as long as you read. this class doesnt depend on class notes, it depends on u. just read and ace. class participation and attendance is IMPORTANT. it borders your grade UP if you do those
what a great class and what a great teacher. i learned a lot in ths class. dr. kahla is the best soc teacher ever. there are times when class seems to get boring and all of a sudden the topic gets super interesting. her test are based on the readings and the book is filled with great info. TAKE HER CLASS, YOU WILL LEARN A LOT OF GOOD STUFF! =)
kahla is a great professor. she cares a lot for all her students and is very helpful. she can be mean but it is her way of showing she cares for us as students. she is great i recomend her.
Great instructor, very helpful
She is a cool professor. You can't find a better soc. prof on campus. She does care abpout students. Make sure you are not late for class and turn off ur cell in class and participate. You will do fine.
Shes great. Dont get on her bad side or act like a moron or she'll pick on you all semester. Oh and make sure you participate in class.. she LOVES that and it will really help ur grade!
AWESOME teacher!!!She seems strict in the beginning but she's really not.Her lectures are so interesting and you feel like you can say almost anything to her.She loves helping her students.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her.You will learn a lot!Make sure to listen to her lectures and take at least some notes.You'll do fine.
Well I just started but she seems to be fair and has our the students best interest at heart.
She's the best SOC prof ELAC has! If you really want to obtain knowledge, she's the right prof! I've grown since I met her, she helped a lot. Just be professional and act like a college student otherwise she won't like you.
participation is a boost for a better grade. her test questions come straight from the book.
this teacher is not patient, show no respect and very rough
Wonderful teacher. She really turned me onto Sociology. She is the reason i chose Soc as my major. She gives out a lot of work but it is a good thing b/c it really helps out on the exams. I highly recc. her!
Harsh, not very respectful of others race. did not like her teaching manners, boring!!!!! do not reccomend her! the tests are hard!!!!!!
I liked professor Kahla, she was clear and understanding in her lectures. Her test and quizzes were easy, ofcourse if you read the text but overall she is a great teacher. She was caring and truly a great teacher.. i definetely recomend her.
Very helpful to those that show interest and participate in discussion. Do not act like a little idiot and you will do good. Test are average, not too much work. If you read the book you will do well on her test. Personal problems? She is very willing to help figure things out.
Great teacher she really wants you to learn about the mistakes that can happen to students with relationships(Soc 12) in Soc 1 it's really about learning what makes people tick... ask questions and participate in discussion. Liberals & democrats welcome. Republicans be ready to defend yourself... Keep up with current events political and social.
VERY INTERESTING CLASS~ U WILL LEARN A LOT~ BY THE WAY, READ THE TEXT BOOK~ U'LL BE FINE IN THE TEST.
JUST READ THE BOOK AND ATTEND CLASS AND YOU WILL PASS!! MAKES SOCIOLOGY VERY INTERESTING!! NO HOMEOWRK AT ALL. PARTICIPATION IN CLASS WILL GET YOU A BETTER GRADE.
Kahla"s class was ok i took her for marriage and family but it ended up being just a class where everyone complained about their boyfriends/girlfriends. The class was enjyable yet she made us buy a book and write an essay on each chapter for hw. her test where hard unless you study. i recommend this class if your a sociology major only
Great teacher, interesting, mostly lecture. Strict on attendance especially on test days. Almost no homework. Read study guide and you should be fine. Participate with class discussions.
i didnt like her class sometimes its intresting but most of the time it's not! if you dont read the book your gonna fail for sure because what she lectures about has nothing to do with the tests.
I have taken Dr. K for every soc class available. I love her classes and always look forward to them. Not only is she a great teacher but also a great mentor and friend. Shes very helpful in all aspects. I would highly recommend to any and everyone. You learn a lot from her class and as long as you read the text you will do fine on the test.
TERRIFIC TEACHER. Really awesome. Cares about her class. Interesting topics, close to the heart. Really helpful. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!! She was like a second mom
Really easy to get along with. Participate in class-- share oppinions, etc. Lectures aren't that helpful, but her tests are so easy! All I did was read over the study guide that comes with the text book and got an A. Very chill, but you learn stuff too. :)
She is very anal. No, drinks, no food, no pen clicks. She is weird. Her class was semi hard. I took her in the mornings, she is not your cup of coffee. There are better teachers out there w/ out weird habits. If you want to pass easy, this is not your class. Lots of reading.
she is great! I have taken her for Sociology 1 and 12. I will be taking her again for sociology 2. A lot of people think shes hard, but thats only because no one wants to pu tthe time to get an A. Her tests are really easy. And her essays are basic topics.
she is a great teacher, but you need to work for your grade. it's also a good idea to participate in class discussion. i would recommend this class to anyone, because this is a really caring teacher.
AMAZING!!! the best teacher ive ever had! really recomend her for anyone. but u must read and participate in class. truly one of the best teachers out there!
One of the best Soc teachers ever at elac, just recently took her for SOC2. highly recommended to take her if your a soc major or just interested in taking a class. Book is NEEDED, grading scale is fair. You get what you work for. If you read the book and know the stuff, then its a easy class, if you dont read the book then dont bother comming
very great
Dr. Kahla is a great professor in ELAC. Her class is very interesting. She makes you think about the society and your life as well. Be careful that she might change your point of view about your life.:P Very helpful! I am glad I choose her class. It's not easy though. You have to read the book very carefully. She will test you in detail. So, study
Her lectures are fun and not boring like other classes. However, you must do your reading from the textbook because she will test you on it in detail. You must read the book or you will not have such an easy time!
You can either love her or hate her. To me, she was a really good teacher with a reason for everything that she does and says. She makes sure you understand stuff before she goes on and her lectures aren't as boring as other teachers'. Her class is not easy but you sure get something out of it if you work hard.
Dr. Kahla is a very understanding professor, she will always give you the benefit of the doubt. Her class requires lots of reading, you cannot get an A in the class if you do not read the text. Overall she is a high quality professor that is willing to help the students out whenever, her lectures are very informative and engage students in opinions
I have just completed my first four days in Ms.Kahla's class, and so far it is awesome. The chapters are discussed thoroughly, and the entire class is involved. I'm looking forward to more learning. (lol that sounds cheesy, but yeah) Awesome class if you actually like to learn.
Dr. Kahla is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life! Had her during fall and made an impact on how I view life. Her tests are tough and requires a lot of reading, however the reading is actually interesting. If only all teachers were like Dr. Kahla the world would be a better place. Participate a lot and study and you'll be fine.
Dr.Kahla is an awsome proffesor. I took her for a winter class and although the class was fast pace and a bit hectic she taught us alot and made the class alot of fun. i recommend her!!!
Dr. Kahla, Is an excellent teacher. Her class is not boring like other classes and you will learn something new each day. As long as you do all work required, attend regulary and study for tests you will do fine.
Great teacher. She might be a bit tough, but as long as you try hard and pay attention to her, the class is somewhat simple. Never easy, you have to work super hard! But the end result you will carry for the rest of your life. I have learned a lot about relationships. Great teacher all in all. I do recommend her.
The studies may be for the present, but her lessons live are forever. The things she taught me have made a different person. Her smile lights the room and i would taker her 30x over. Also to see moose.
one of the best teachers i had in all my days at this collage. she gives work but not a lot. she is strict but in the good sense because at least for me i do not like wasting my time and neither does her. good look and remember she is the best.
Professor Kahla is one of the best professors you will ever have at ELAC.Those who say she is a bad professor must be lazy, because I got an A in SOC 2. Yes, she does fail you if you get below a C in a quiz, but this wont be a problem if you read the textbook. She is fun and makes the class interesting. Take her class, I promise you'll enjoy it!
I ENJOYED DR KAHLA'S CLASS A LOT. SHE MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING AND FUN BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET INVOLVED WITH INTERACTING W/ THE OTHER STUDENTS. HER TEST ARE EASY AS LONG AS U STUDY THE KEY TERMS!
Excellent teacher, very outgoing, you learn a lot. Just read read read the book.
Professor Kahla is amazing. I took her in the winter and had to go to her class 4 days a week at 8am and looked forward to it every morning. People who talk trash about her are the lazy ones who think scantron exams don't require reading the book. JUST READ! you're in college for god's sake.
Learned alot. She isnt hard, you just have to read. If you dont like reading then dont take her. I enjoyed class because it was more of a class discussion rather than a lecture. Shes a good teacher
my fellow ELAC, if you need SOC 1, just take Dr. Kahla. she is down to earth professor. you WON'T regreat and She is THE BEST ! just read and participate during the lecture. you'll be fine !
This professor is great.Take her! She is very clear and you learn a lot. There's a lot of reading but hey it's college people.Her class was fun to go to every morning during summer and I enjoyed that it wasn't only lecture but class discussion.Participate in class, get goos grades in your quizzes and do your readings and you'll do fine.
She is the best. I got an A. This is how I studied: READ the textbook(my book is older edition), highlight important parts, do the study guide. Study guide helps. She is very helpful. Her lecture is very interesting. I also love the class discussions. The class will change your thinking toward certain things.
she was an excellent teacher!i was intimidated at first but she's really nice and the lectures are very interesting if you read the chapters you'll ace the test. the test are questions on what you read i recommend her! (:
She will ADD anyone to her class, shes very very leniant with retaking test just give her some lame excuse. Currently taking her class her tests are multiple choice a little tough SO READ your book. Shes very opinionated and analysis everything sometimes a little bit too ignorant. Other tan that her class is a breeze just study.
VERY cool! the class was mostly an open discussion. She taught in a way where you wanted to learn. Picky grader though. Bit of advice; don't allign your essays. Tests are hard. Must practically memorize the book. Would love to take her again
She is a great professor. She wants you to learn to see the world in a different way and to be an active member of society. The tests are fairly simply if you read the book. She doesnt try to trick you, but you must read the book to do well on the tests. Loved her, would take any of her classes again.
Be on time or you'll get on her bad side. Must read the book. Feel free to ask any question and she'll answer. Makes seating chart. Make sure your cell phones off or else. But the subject and how she emphasizes it is cool.
I absolutelt love her. she's a very passion prof. she explains material very well and is always willing to help. Must read book, attend class and BE ON TIME. you'll love her class. I highly recommend her.
Love her. She is really thorough and helpful. Makes you think a lot and analyze your own relationships. GREAT PROF. I would take her again if I could. Tests are easy if you READ and pay attention to lecture.
Teacher is arrogant and rude. All she constantly talks about is either Gays and lesbians or trys and demean the Church. She doesnt teach what is on the test its your job to read and expect to know. Adds just about anyone in her class. PICKS FAVORITES! if your a Womens Activist your on the right track!!!
I felt like it was story time in her class. Just get straight to the point and teach what we need to learn for the exam. Note: This Proffesor gets side track easily..
She is a passionate and wise professor, up to date with current events and topics. Stays on point and her lectures are very interesting. Let's you express your opinion and views. She high lights the main points in the book but it's still your job to read the chapters. If you do that you won't have any problems with her class.
she is the best of the best. i really like her class.
I really enjoyed her class, and would recommended anyone to take her. Just read the book and you will pass. And turn off your cellphones, she really doesnt like cellphones going off. She seem strict but overall she's not. just read the material and you'll get an A.
Dr. Kahla is the best! She's straightforward with what she's looking for on the first day of class and she actually makes you use your book. She's always willing to listen to her students vent as well. Simply the best at ELAC.
Wonderful teacher.You must attend to her class , be on time , read the book and be a participant.Dr. Kahla's class is fun and she brings up interesting topics that will make you think. I have never seen a teacher who truly cares about her students as she does.ELAC is lucky to have such an outstanding teacher as DR. Kahla. Highly recommended
Kahla is a very good teacher, she explains her clas with great clarity. I totally recommed her if you want to learn something about sociology. howeverv it is a lot of study, the tests are direct from the textbook, so you have to really study if you want to pass this class. she very extrict though
DR. KAHLA IS A WONDERFUL PROFESSOR...IF YOU SHOW UP TO CLASS .READ AND DO ASSIGNMENTS.. YOU SHOULD RECEIVE AN A..I F U DONT IT IS NOT HER FAULT BUT YOUR OWN.I LOVE ALL HER CLASSES.
Dr. Kahla is an awesome teacher. class is very helpful if ur planning to have a better relationship. learned a lot about myself
I really enjoyed Dr. Kahla, she has inspired me to perhaps look at the Psychological perspective of sociology on minority groups. Took her class for the honors program and I have to say she is awesome. I would love to take her for more classes. Take Her!!!
Dr. Kahla is an outstanding teacher. I took her class at 7:25am, and I was enthusiastic about going every day. She uses the book heavily, but she will reward you for class participation. She has a huge heart as well. You can tell that she really loves teaching, and there are a lot of great/interesting discussions in her class.
Dr. k is very interesting and funny, she is a very good teacher and it shows that she loves to teach. she has a lot of experience in her field & knows what she's talking about. you will defiantly need the book and the study guide really helps. her class is very enjoyable and it really opens your eyes to our society. prepare to have your mind blown!
Very strict, but means well. She is passionate about her work and teaching everyone. She may seem like she is mean, but in actuality she wants everyone to learn. I am taking her now for Family & Marriage I LOVE IT!
I love taking Dr. Kahla classes. You can tell she really loves teaching, she may get off topic at times but she talks about the important things you need to know for the class. If you do not read the book then you might as well drop the class, all exams are based on the book so you better like to read if you want to pass this class
Dr.Kahla is an extraordinary professor. She might be strict but in a good way. In her class you will not only learn sociology but will have a new perspective on life. Read her book, take notes, dont be absent and you are set. :)
Dr. Kahla is an excellent professor. You earn your grade in her class. She cares about her students!
honestly you have to put in the work to understand and it is very important that you read the book. test are based on the book...her class is very interesting but i feel that she does listen to what you have to say but doesn't give the feed back you would want to hear
what can I say?Do not take her class.She looks like she cares about students,but acctully she does not give F at all.Can not read what she wrote on the borad every time.Her job is just have a chat with her students during the classes, none of homework.All she need to do is just let you take 4 tests totally that she use them for every semester.
Dr. Kahla truly cares about her students. Lectures are always interesting and eye opening.you do have to read the book, cannot stress that enough. Her exams are completely based from the readings. Overall, she's a great professor! everyone should take one of her classes
Dr Kahla is an awesome professor! A very interesting class. Really makes you think about things. One of a few professors who actually uses her textbook so make sure you get one (and read it!). I would definitely take more classes with her!
Professor Kahla is very passionate on the topic . She also a very though professor, she assigns a chpt every week and you must read very carefully! Her test questions are directly from the chpt. Read the BOOK! Arrive to class on time, she will literally lock you out! Strict and sometimes even seems unapproachable . Learned so much.
Dr. Kahla's class is not hard. She really tries to pass her students and is very helpful. Just know what you're reading and you're good to go for the tests. No homeworks except to read the text. Participate!!
Dr. Kahla is a good professor but she favored some students over others. She was rude and unprofessional with the ones she simply did not like because of that i wouldn't take her again. Overall just read the chapters, study, and you'll do great!
Professor Rin Kahla, Ph.D., MSW is really helpful with all her students. I had alot of fun by just listen her lecture. It is not hard as long as you prepare for every tests and do your homework.
Professor Kahla is one of the best professors I have met in my life. She is an inspiration in my life. If you want to learn how to maintain a good relationship with the people you love, you definitely need to take her Soc 012. She is also a mentor. If you have any problems whether in the class or life, she tries to help you as much as she can.
I took Sociology of Women with Dr.Kahla,and she was a great teacher.She's up front about what she expects and she's willing to work with you if you approach her for help.This class isn't just for women either,men are encouraged to take this class;and everyone who's willing to put in an honest effort is encouraged to.take this professor.
Awesome professor. Upfront and bold but very helpful as well. Enjoyed sociology with her as a professor very much.
Great Teacher, cares a lot about her students, easy to talk to, will meet with you to discuss anything, very knowledgable in the subject she teaches. Assignments were not difficult, very easy and informative class.
Interesting class, you learn a lot about yourself, some what difficult essays, make sure your writing skills are good. She provides insight, explains a lot, she is an awesome teacher, I would take all her classes, she is to the point there are no surprises, don't be late to her classes. I think taking soc 12 should be mandatory
The professor gives fascinating lectures and tells it like it is! The only downside I could think of was that we could not review our objective tests. I learned so much! Participating in class discussions is important for your grade. Only required one written paper. This class was a tad harder than I thought it would be.
Simply the best Soc professor. Dr. Kahla is truly an expert in her field! She is extremely personable and caring. You will learn a lot in this class, granted that you put in effort. Of course you have to read the textbook and write a paper - it's college, what do you expect? You earn your grade!!
Gosh where do I begin?! Dr. K is simply one of a kind! She is so genuine! I wish more professors were as passionate as she is! Read the book, attend class, ask questions, use the study guide, and you will pass! I can't wait for her soc 12 class to start!
Laid back class. Just read and take the test. Easy A. She can be one sided at times so don't tick her off. Discussion based class. Book is easy to find and cheap. She's lenient on the version of the book, just ask.
Dr. Kahla is the best sociology professor at elac. She truly engages you into every discussion, even if you're shy she'll get you talking! The discussions allow you to supplement the readings and apply the theories to your firsthand experiences. Read read read, you will definitely fail this class if you do not read.
Dr. Kahla's class consists of discussions, a few exams and a few papers. If you read and understand the textbook, then you will do good on the exams. Papers are graded fairly. She can be strict and sometimes a bit mean but she does care for the students. She is very easy to approach and will assist you. Overall, she can be an inspiring professor.
Took her last fall and got a B I asked around& found out that most people did as well I attribute it to the fact that I relied heavily on class discussion& never really bothered 2 read Shes an interesting professor,but personally although I learned, Id rather have taken another professor&got an A. My transcript isnt going 2 read 'B..but I learned!'
I've taken two classes with her thus far. you read at home and discuss what you've read in class. She closes the door so don't be late. Test are not hard as long as you read. Marriage and fam requires about 3 essays. i learned a lot. she makes it fun. oh but she has her off days in which she becomes unaprochable but is usually cool.
May seem very strict at first, but she really cares for her students. Expects you to read chapters before class discussions. As long as you read the book, you should do fine on her multiple choice tests.
She lectures great but doesnt actually go over everything thats going to be on the test. You have to read in order to pass this class. Her test are mutiple choice but are hard.
Dr. Kahla is a kind and intelligent professor who really provides you with much insight and definitely helps you understand the subject. Make sure you READ thoroughly, ask questions, participate, and do well on your exams. I have a feeling you'll pass her class with an A that way. Make sure you do all those things, and DON'T BE LATE. She hates that
Where do i start? Anger issues, bipolar, biased, plays favorites, treats students like elementary school kids (dont try going to the bathroom during class). If you dont kiss her a**, dont expect to get an A. She made a comment on how girls dress these days. Bra showing or not, it does not justify rape. Take Ie or Morales instead. WAY better.
Dr. Kahla is one tuff cookie. She make you READ the book. Test are all based on book readings and lectures, so you won't see any surprises. Soc. 12 fun and would recommend it. Be on time & don't text and you will be okay. Participate! She is strict, but we are in college not high school. She is AMAZING and will continue to take her.
I didn't really care for her approach with the students when reprimanding. Likes to put people in the spot when they are voicing and opinion. She is an average professor her attitude is not the best.
I didn't learn much from her. She is very emotional with a lot of mood swings. Many of her students kiss her butt which I do not like doing. You need to read the book to really learn anything. Worst experience ever. My first and last class with her. She is intelligent but unfortunately didn't teach much. Not trying to be mean, just honest.
DO NOT TAKE HER ! You won't learn anything. Going to class was a waste of time because she doesn't lecture , she doesn't give you study guides or anything to help you prepare for exams all she will say is read your book . The only way you might pass is if you read the book. Trust me take another professor who will actually help you out
Professor Kahla was very clear cut on what she expects from her students. The syllabus guidelines are very clear and if you can understand what is expected, you should do fine in her class. She is also very helpful. If you ever encounter a problem make sure you express it to her. She is very understanding. Let her know who you are and follow rules.
Sociology 1 with Prof Kahla was such an amazing professor especially during a tough 5 week course. Her lectures are interesting, and she really cares about her students. However, you will work for your grade. Her exams are based on the book, like I mean literally on the book, so if you don't read and study your book front and back you will not pass
She really makes you think. challenges students, she is awesome
I have taken Dr. Kahla for 2 courses and I can say that the class is easy as long as you read the book. The lectures start with answering most questions about the reading then goes off tangent. I don't mind the heavy discussions but I hate her attitude. We had a confrontation and we resolved it but I always felt like I was walking on eggshells.
For a 7am class it was very difficult. Along with other courses this one was challenging for me especially since i did not participate like others. Expects you to discuss throughout the class. Even though i did read the chapters for quizzes and exams i still did pretty bad.. and i understood the chapters with ease. Her lectures are good..
Really hates when people are late, will lock door. Tests based on book. Interesting class and lecture.
Take her for SOC 12. T R U L Y it is a class that will change you to a more beautiful and amazing you. Only if you allow it. TESTS are per chapter(DON'T BE LAZY! READ!!!!). There are about 3 (10 page) essays to write. Know your MLA format or else... Don't play yourself. #BLESSUP #DJKhaled
This is not an easy A class. but Dr. Kahla is very insightful and engages students in her lectures. She give plenty of opportunity to ask question and seems to sincerely want her student to be successful.
Dr. K is definitely one of the most passionate & caring professors at ELAC. She is a tough grader & participation MATTERS! You truly learn so much in her class & her lectures are interesting! I was never bored! Take her if you really want to learn about sociology & life in general. Also, one thing, DON'T BE LATE! Love, love, love Dr. K :)
Dr. Kahla encourages her students to speak their mind and give their true opinion without shaming. She is serious about her lectures and time attendance, do not come in 20 min late because she will tell you to leave. She is flexible and allows students to makeup test as long as you email her. Her lectures are amazing and insightful. I recommend her
I like to take notes on the subject and still refer back to the textbook when i'm confused and take notes on that, but she got mad at me because i wasn't "focused" on her. i explained that i learn best doing notes, she was upset and allowed it but i wasn't comfortable anymore. I HIGHLY recommend prof. Levy, He's very interactive! I passed with an A
Kahla has a very basic view on life. I took pop culture with her and at the end of the year she just said, "I hope what you got from this class is that it's all about money." So basically, I didn't learn anything new. She once said, "if you curse, try doing that in a job interview, see where that gets you," which was dumb. Barely any work though.
Dr. Kahla is one of the best professors. She truly cares about her students and is there to help. She is strict but that's only because she wants her students to learn. Make sure to read the book and you will pass your exams. I would definitely take her again.
I took this class during winter in '15 and the length was about 5 weeks. She is strict like everyone else has mentioned. First day I was typing down something she said on my phone to remind myself later and she got upset. Thought I was not gonna enjoy the class but if you follow what she says you'll do fine. Had about 3 tests and you got to read.
Just didn't like how she taught, wouldn't take her again.
She is very difficult. Took her a year back, still tense about her.
I have taken Dr. Kahla about 4 or 5 times, & here's why; She is without a doubt one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She cares about her students deeply, & challenges us to better ourselves. Dr. Kahla is a very educated, caring, respected & hard working professor. Dr. Kahla is a professor you would wish to meet.

Dr. Kahla is a very educated, caring, respected & hard workikg professor. You must read & study to pass her class, but that's college my friend. You'd be glad you took her.
I really enjoyed this class. I have taken Dr. Kahla several times, & in each I found myself bettering myself as an individual. However in this class in particular was where I reflected on my past & present to better my future. I'm glad I took this class & I know you will be as well. Read, study, turn off your phon & enjoy your class.
Shes very knowledgeable. She knows what she is talking about. She can come off rude but if you just put your phone away ENGAGE and read . You'll do great
Very good teacher! Read Read Read! Interactive lectures. Book Mandatory.
Dr Kahla is a awesome professor, very knowledgeable, demands respect but is fair. She leads very informative lectures, she demands alot of reading and you have to know your stuff. I hadn't been to college in about 6 years before I returned to attend ELAC and I am glad I started with her class.
Professor Kahla is very caring and understanding when it comes to her students. She comes off as very strict at the beginning of the semester but what else do you expect, It's College! No cellphones are allowed, no looking around or taking notes while she lectures. As long as you do the reading and participate you will do fine.
Kahla is a great professor. Her class is not too difficult, just make sure to read. She is very into discussion and is open to questions. She may be intimidating at first, but if you talk to her, you'll realize she's actually nice and cares about the students. This was an interesting class and there wasn't too much hw. P.S: Don't use your phone!
I love my experience with Dr. Kahla, she provides up to date social issues and makes you think how society affects us all one way or another. I'm sad the semester is over and I won't listen to her lectures. She isn't easy and doesn't play around. DO NOT bring your cell phone or come late to class. Best professors at ELAC, wish we could clone her.
I have lots of respect for Ms. Kahla, she's awesome! You will learn a great deal in her class. I want her to teach more classes.
Her tests are tricky and based on the readings (even the graphs and side info)! She grades her papers like an English prof and will take points for missed periods. Overall, great class and EVERYONE should take it. Self love is something alot of yall are missing and would benefit from. She hates people being late (beginning of semester)& NO PHONES!
I 1st chose Dr. Kahla off of rate my professor reviews, & when I had my first class sessions w/ her I thought the reviews were wrong. The truth is, I was wrong. I walked into the class thinking it would be an easy A. Dr. Kahla takes u out of ur comfort zone & really makes u think. Tests are easy, just read the ch. she gives bonus points every test.
Dr. Kahla, is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is a really nice person. She says things straight foward. She gives good advice. Her lectures are fun. Just follow the rules and you will be fine. Read and study for the tests. Don't use your phone, pay attention and engage in the conversation.
Dr. Kahla is an inspirational and powerful women. She pushes you to think outside the social norms. Her lectures are very interactive which helps people that are active learners. And she makes it very comfortable in class. JUST DON'T BE LATE OR BE ON YOUR PHONE !
Dr. Kahla is one of the best sociology professors at elac. Her lectures are fun and informative. She really makes you work hard for your grade. You learn a lot from her personal stories and work experience. I really enjoyed her class and I will definitely take another class with her. Highly recommend. (Hint: No phones during class)
Dr. Kahla is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is passionate and cares about every student. Her lecture really inspiring also you can learn a lot.
Shes amazing I actually want to change what I'm transferring now. She is so smart and she likes students to contribute to the conversation in her class. She is big on attendance and no phones in class. You have to read for the tests but they're not ridiculously difficult.
This professor was strict, be on time. But her class was amazing. You should read before class and classes are just about having a discussion and asking questions. Not afraid to speak on any topics. Truly cares about students
no notes to be taken. lectures are fun. have to read & learn vocab for quizzes. PASS her test & talk in class and youre good. her papers are fun and a few depending what soc class you take with her. test are a little hard but doable as long as you READ.
Professor K is one of the best professors I've ever taken in college, period. She really cares about you as a student/person and wants to help you succeed. With sociology as my major, I can honestly say this class was amazing whether you're interested in soc or not. I'll definitely take more classes with her. Don't be late and don't use your phone!
Avoid. If you don't pass all her test you will receive a D. You just pass all chapter exams with a minimum 70%. Must read chapters. Two papers and participation in class matters however beware she likes shoot you down and regret sharing your stories. Doesn't teach much talks and talks. Doesn't like you cracking your fingers nor taking notes. AVOID.
if you pass your quizzes you will still receive an F. if you want a good GPA don't take her class you miss one day and she will want to drop you. don't waste your time.
Shes easy but shes not for everyone, really old school, she hates when people take notes, dont miss her class & dont arrive late to class. Wont be taking her again. You have to pass all her exams in order to pass her class.
I definitely recommend this class. She was an amazing professor, she makes the class very fun and interesting. I really felt comfortable to participate and share. All class work and test are very straight forward. I am definitely going to take her again.
Class was easy to pass. Just read the book the tests are mostly common sense. kind of rude. She wont let you take notes or read the book in class. I tried to take notes on what she was saying and she got mad saying that i have to pay attention?? The class is super boring you sit and listen to everyone talk about their feelings.
Professor Kahla is amazing! the discussions in class very very ingaging and easy to follow. The book is an easy read with stories included which helped for better understanding. I took her in winter and am even taking another one of her classes in spring. I highly recommend for any soc majors and students just taking the class for credits.
Easy interesting class. Show up on time and you'll be fine.
Dr. Kahla has got to be the most WHOLESOME professor I've ever had for an instructor. I took her super early 7am class and she was all like, "Why would you take this class?" in a really sarcastic but not in an offensive way. I laughed and was added to her class. Throughout the semester was super informative, and she provides insight on the material
Dr. Kahla is an amazing professor she's very caring, if you work with her she'll work with you, as long as you don't wait 2 weeks to tell her you missed class or that you need to retake a missed exam. She also lets you take notes in class as well as take notes on your laptop, ignore the comments that say other wise. Participation matters as well.
If not good with exams dont take the whole course is based on exams only
She's such a great person and is so real with the class! she also very much cares for her students. Im personally more of a "visual learner" and this did not help me while taking her course. no use of powerpoint's or not much of note taking in general.. most classes we would talk and discuss chapters as a class (not very detailed).
Professor Kahlas lectures are amazing! if you ever need to talk to her, she is very helpful. She makes the subjects easy to understand because she gives real life & relateable ex. Test are based on the reading and covers the chapters thoroughly, no reason to fail, no research papers just your perspectives on certain subjects. Love all her classes
Dr. Kahla is an extremely intelligent woman. Her lectures taught me a lot about myself. The class itself revolves around an immense amount of reading and testing. Students should read and study, weekly, to expect a good grade.
Really supportive and accessible professor. The lectures are all you need! They're interesting and fun. She approaches tough topics well and honestly. Show up, stay off the phone, don't take off during testing, listen, participate and be a mature and respectful human and you'll be fine! Enjoy!
Dr. Kahla is one of the best Sociology professor's I've had. She's very knowledgeable about the subject. She's really funny once you get to know her. Most students think she's tough but it's college! You earn the grade you deserve. She's the best.
Professor Kahla is a great professor. You need to bring your book to class everyday or you will be lost. Whatever you do don't show up late to her class she gets mad and will give you a lecture on it. Overall her test are easy, as long as you do your readings. Her lectures are inspiring and you will learn a lot from her class.
Dr. Kahla is the most intelligent, caring, and inspirational professor I have ever met! I consider her my mentor because she truly connects with her students. She shapes and prepares students for the real world and does not enable lackadaisical attitudes, so hard work will pay off. I have taken 3 of her classes and enjoyed them! I highly recommend.
Tough professor and very effective. I learned so much in this class. My favorite part are the lectures because everything she says is always interesting and meaningful. Too bad I couldn't record the lectures, they are very valuable. She's intuitive and very serious about her students' education. Although this class was hard, I'm glad I took it.
Classes are currently online and this professor makes it difficult to pass, theres been many technical difficulties on trying to complete her assignment and quiz but she does not care and will fail you either way. Regret taking sociology with this professor.
Did not have the best experience with this professor. Even though her lectures are interesting, she does not prepare you for exams. Exams are worth almost your whole grade. There is almost no chance to pass the class if your performance on exams isn't grate. The class is not difficult, it's her unwillingness to help you when you reach out to her.
Pros: gives feedback on assignments, grades quickly, good lectures Cons: unreasonable work load & expectations, erratic grading policy. She sprung a final exam and essay on us last minute. Final exam was 70 questions for 60 minutes.. Sometimes it feels like she is finding ways to dock points from you & is not understanding about tech difficulties
I was excited to take a class about Pop Culture, but was heavily disappointed. Pop culture involves music, movies, fashion and more. The ONLY thing we focused on was music. Her tests were straight up garbage. They were based on her personal opinions and not facts. Your grade heavily depends on tests that are impossible to pass. DO NOT TAKE.
Professor Kahla is the ideal professor to take if you participate in class, want your opinions heard, and keep up with assignments/study for tests. The fact that she took the time to have live lectures in the middle of a pandemic says a lot (not all professors did). No matter what your opinion is, she hears you. I 100% recommend you to take her! :)
Dr. Kahla is a great professor! Honestly, I thought she was going to be my toughest professor of the semester but she turned out to be my favorite! She values people engaging in the class and responding to her when she asks questions. I loved the book she showed us called Mastery of Love. I definitely recommend taking her class����
I have never written a review for any of my professors except for Dr. Kahla. I was surprised at to how much I really liked this class, more specifically Sociology in general. I really enjoyed this class, just be prepared to read every week. The tests on Pearson help you for the real tests that they assign. :)
prof is well educated about most sociological and psychological concepts, but environmental injustice, gender expression, modern sexual liberation, and the system of the police could use some freshening up imo. Definitely uses the book verbatum. some test questions are worded weird which doesn't help scoring. overall it was ok.
I took Professor Khala's course in Fall 2020. The material was easy to understand. However, she was not flexible with deadlines even though I reached out her asking if she can be reasonable during these trying times. Her syllabus was very confusing and unclear when assignments were due. She refused to change it to make it easier to understand.
Dr. Kahla is one of the best professors out there. She engages her students in lecture and allows you to express yourself in a fun learning environment. Dr. Kahla is one of the few amazing professors that are hard to come by she loves what she teaches and it shows. I would recommend taking her 100%.
Great professor, be prepared to read but will be an easy course. Simple straightforward with all the and gives extra credit. Recommend students to take her!
Dr. Kahla is one of the best professors I've encountered! She genuinely cares about her students' success and is passionate about the subject. Her lectures promote a deep understanding of the material without being overwhelming. Tests, textbook quizzes, short papers, and discussions- the workload is very manageable. You won't regret taking her!!
alright class
I don't recommend this professor at all he or she is more confusing less helpfull much more helpless 0% not a good professor at all very criticizing no respect.
The lessons in the class that do not even amend what is assigned out of the assignments she barely assigns to the class with the heavy baring test that are not even corresponding with what is being lectured in class that has no comparison to the test as displayed throughout the digital copy of only the notes of the book.
Disrespectful, make 0 sense, changes subject, skips chapters, mixes syllabus rules. My boyfriend & I would NEVER take this professor AGAIN! Instead of helping, he/she criticizes no matter how much effort I put. I was coughing & professor told me to step outside, don't know how some students are BLIND & talk ok about this professor. 0% recommended.
Professor Kahl is a great professor as long as you participate you will do great in the class. If you sit there and never participate, never provide you're own thoughts etc she will take that into account when she releases final grades. I took her right before I transferred from Elac spring 2022! she congratulated me and I think of her class still.
She is a straight shooter that cares about her students! To get a good grade you have to participate, read the book, and come to class. I enjoyed her open mindedness in class debates.
Dr. Kahla is a fantastic example of what a professor should be a person that is willing to go above and beyond to work with you so long as you are willing to work with her. She is a straight shooter and her lectures are fun, she cares about your input so be sure to participate. The textbook is important but if you read the book you will be fine.
Very Unorganized,Not a"hard class"just a bad teacher.Negative towards people.Very Unprofessional and unreasonable.Says a lot of hate speech towards LGBTQ+ community considering she's gay and sociology teacher.Most likely a self reflection.Rise her voice on students with learning disability.Makes up own rules.Don't take her class.Many drop her.
Dr. Kahla is the best professor I've had at ELAC. She is very knowledgeable and integrates ongoing issues into to the class to give real world examples. This is not an easy class by any means but if you get help from her and put in the time to read and review for every test and paper you will succeed in her class. I can't recommend her class enough
Unorganized and unprofessional. Weird polices like no taking notes, or taking pictures of slides or going to restroom. Rude and doesn't use canvas.Don't take the class. Doesn't allow you to know your grades. Hope she does better because she very odd and strange. Very hateful toward people with learning disability. Sad to see a person like this.
Getting out of work at 6 + traffic and class starting at 6:30 sounds tiring right? Not with Dr. Kahla! This professor is one of those people that really lift your mood and let you enjoy the class along with the class environment. I feel like I've learned a lot. This was a great professor to have after years away from school. Thank you Dr!
Professor is very knowledgeable on the subject, but she's not easy and flexible when it comes to assignments. Assignments are on due date, not extensions, weird ;policies, not canvas savy, and if u are not being a good student, she would get in ur case in public. she ' a great professor, but i wish she was a bit more patient with students.
This is the first time I have given a rating to a professor. I took Dr. Kahla summer 2024 online class. She is very organized. If you want to grasp good knowledge about a course, take her class. She even inspired me to get involved in the current critical social problem. you will also learn important writing rules, citation guidelines, and more.
Professor Kahla brings a lot of energy and passion to her lectures. The workload is manageable, and she's willing to work with students. I found Unstuckstudy helpful for test prep - definitely an asset in this class.
Overall the class is interesting but the professor docks off so many points if you make one simple mistake. Also got accused of plagiarizing just for making a mistake and writing down the wrong textbook name for a course feedback assignment. Harsh for no reason, not reasonable at all
Amazing professor. Forget negative reviews. She includes everyone in her lectures and really wants to be in depth with what she is teaching which was amazing for me. I would recommend 100 times out of 100 times. Awesome term!!
She's interactive, will expect participation from her students during lectures which are more like 2 way conversations between her and students. Very knowledgable and supportive. Don't know what the negative reviews are about. Read the book, listen to the lectures, participate during class by joining the conversations and you'll pass.
In 10 years ago, there are a lot different ethnic student don't like this professor due to improper education teaching method.
