Physics Department Open House Feb 16 in Science Hall

The CCSF Physics Department is holding an Open House in Science Hall from 3-6 pm on February 16, and the entire campus community is invited.

Free Open House 3:00 pm - 5:00 pmSCIE 100 Popular Physics Demonstrations: Visit with physics faculty Jill Johnsen, Roger King, Shruti Kumar, and Dack Lee, who will be talking about their favorite demonstrations in their physics labs.

“What I Want to Tell You” 5-6 pmwith Professor Paul Hewitt, Science 100

Special guest lecturer for the event will be Paul Hewitt, renown author of one of the foremost college textbooks on physics, Conceptual Physics, now in its 11th edition and used worldwide.

Hewitt’s first teaching position was City College of San Francisco, which became his home base in a 32-year teaching career. He retired from CCSF in 2000.

Both the Open House and the Paul Hewitt lecture will be free.

Fundraising Dinner 6-8 in PCRPierre Coste Room, 6-8 pmFollowing the lecture, the Physics Department is sponsoring a fundraising dinner with Prof. Hewitt and the Physics Department. This is also open to the public. Cost is $100 per person, and RSVPs can be sent to Physics Chair Diana Markham, 239-3467 or [email protected].

Hewitt Leading Educator in PhysicsThe physics department is especially proud to

present Paul Hewitt’s lecture and to welcome him and his wife Lillian as generous supporters of the Physics Department and the Save the Classes Campaign.

In 2010 he and his wife donated $10,000 to the Save the Classes Campaign, and he plans to bequeath a significant part of his estate to the college.

His name is synonymous with Conceptual Physics to physics educators everywhere. Before the advent of Hewitt’s textbook, physics was traditionally taught primarily as applied mathematics — geared to students with high math and science aptitudes.

As such, any serious study of physics was not in the educational plan for most students. Hewitt pioneered

his conceptual approach in overflowing classes of Physics 10 at City College. By explaining physics rather than proclaiming physics, and using analogies as a teaching tool, he brought physics into the educational mainstream.

His Physics 10 class, largely an elective course, drew more than a thousand students semester after semester, throughout most of his teaching career. He also taught his popular course on

Wednesday nights at the San Francisco Exploratorium for nearly two decades.

Chancellor Don Griffin said of his friend, “Paul Hewitt’s work and his generosity will continue to help students and shape our world. We are grateful to him for his vision and financial assistance.”

Come by the CCSF Physics Department office, SCIE 185 on the Ocean Campus, to pick up an event map. For more information contact the Physics Department Chair, Diana Markham, (415) 239-2467, [email protected].

SSTF Recommendations Go to Joint Legislature Education Committee

Today the State CCC Chancellor’s office submitted four SSTF Recommendations to a Joint Education Committee meeting for both the Assembly and the State Senate. These recommendations are some of those which will need legislative approval for changes needed in the Ed Code for recommendations to be implemented by the State.

Academic President Karen Saginor planned to attend and will report to the community in next week’s issue about the hearing.

Work Group FormedFollowing a well-attended Flex Day workshop January

13, “Update on the SSTF Recommendations” which was presented by Karen Saginor and Susan Lopez of the ESL Department, an informal group of faculty met again on January 27 to plan strategies for informing the public about the negative unforeseen and unintended consequences that many students will suffer because of these recommendations.

Community Story-Telling Project Sunday: Chinese Whispers: Golden Gate February 5

Come to a unique workshop reading of preview excerpts from "Chinese Whispers: Golden Gate," on Sunday Feb. 5, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, on the 1890 fer-ryboat "Eureka" at Hyde Street Pier. [See Map] Artistic and Project director is Rene Yung, a CCSF Instructor who currently teaches DSGN 101, Fundamentals of Design, in the Design Collaborative which is a certificate program housed in IDST. This is her fifth year teaching at CCSF.

“Chinese Whispers” is a community-based storytelling project about contem-porary folk memories of the Chinese who helped build the Transcontinental Rail-road and settlements of the American West.

The reading will highlight stories contributed by locals during Yung’s current re-search in the SF Bay region, and a fresh soundscape by collaborator and sound artist Jeremiah Moore. Hear community members and proxy tellers recount handed-down stories about generations of Chinese who settled in the region: little-known maritime stories, stories of enterprise and Trans-Pacific trade, of poi-gnant details from the daily life of the early immigrants.

Bring your story of intercultural flow to share at facilitated audience story cir-cles led by cultural blogger and author Arlene Goldbard.

It will be fun and informative, and full of ambience at the awesome SF Mari-time Historical National Park. If you haven't been there this is the perfect occa-sion. Accessible free event on the car deck of the ferry, so dress warmly.

A quarter million Chinese came to California between 1849 and the early 1880s to work on the railroads and in the mines, industries and services of the American frontier. But today there is scant record about them — they have most-ly been forgotten as individuals.

“Chinese Whispers” looks at this historical amnesia through stories that have been passed down over generations at different sites, and engages communities in the retelling of their local Chinese whispers.

Of the project, Yung writes, “Many members of the “Chinese Whispers” project team are CCSF students, including from the Design Collaborative and related

SSTF Recommendations with Perverse Incentives and Unintended Consequences

CCCSSTF Recommendation Perverse Incentives and Consequences3.17.3

Increase enrollment priority for first time stu-dents who declare certain educational objec-tives and participate in orientations and as-sessment. Those who don’t will lose priority.

1. New students will be incentivized to check off the favored goals and to participate in matriculation even if not needed, e.g., students will be focused on short term skills acquisition. 2. The number of students who appear to drop out before reaching their supposed “goal” will increase. 3. Matriculation funds will be used inefficiently.

4.17.3

Align course offerings to the needs of students seeking transfer/degree/certificates and meas-ure success in those terms.

Colleges will be dis-incentivized from offering opportunities to unem-ployed and workers retraining to change fields who need one or two courses for immediate skill training.

7.27.3

Publish percentages of students passing courses in college scorecards so colleges will be encouraged to increase those numbers.

Colleges will be incentivized to make courses easier to pass and to delete courses which do not augment the scorecard in order to pre-serve state funding.

8.3 Redirect apportionment funding from basic skills classes to alternative funding models.

Colleges will be incentivized to offer basic skills test preparation in place of solid basic skills instruction.

Particular types of educational goals required for students to qualify for financial aid.

Students focused on short term skill acquisition are incentivized to indicate long term goals to which they have little or no commitment in order to qualify for aid.

CCCSSTF Recommendation Predictable Unintended Consequences2.22.53.13.2

Increase requirements for incoming and con-tinuing students to file forms and meet various standards. Allow student to appeal for exemption or re-consideration on a case by case basis.

1. Increases barriers for students with minimal English skills, basic skills challenges, or low technological sophistication. Will result in students dropping out at the beginning of their educa-tional process – front loaded loss points.2. At-risk inexperienced students will apply for and receive fewer ex-emptions when they are the most vulnerable.

2.3

2.22.5

Implement centralized implementation of in-teractive advisement system and “default” pathways as a substitute for meetings with counselors.Increase requirements for students to commit to a program of study.

1. At risk students likely to use interactive software without the guid-ance of appropriately trained professionals.2. Students following “default” education plans will have less personal commitment, interest, and enthusiasm.3. Decreased success and persistence in adhering to allotted programs of study due to required compliance.

3.2 Conditions for students to receive BOG fee waivers more demanding than conditions re-quired for enrollment.

Students who cannot afford to pay fees will have less access to subsi-dized community college classes than those who have financial re-sources – See diagram at. http://www.ccsf.edu/Organizations/Academic_Senate/BOGFeeDiagram.pdf

3.3 1. Financial aid offices will encourage part time students to consider enrolling full time with more student loans.2. Recommendation 3.3 states that colleges will “benefit from the greater efficiency of serving one full time student versus two or more part time students for the same funding.

1. Increased student debt. The report notes that many students “de-pend on full-time employment to support families.” Promoting loan packages to such students without providing appropriate comprehen-sive academic and financial counseling will result in unrealistic com-mitments to student loans by many students. 2. Discrimination: If colleges are serving one full time student in place of two or more part time students, those part-time students arereceiving no educational opportunity.

7.1 Increase the authority of the Chancellor and strengthen centralized system office.

Local colleges will be impeded from responding expeditiously to theirstudent educational needs.

8.2 Invest in the New Student support initiative. Funds redistributed away from students and instruction and toward projects guaranteeing student success.

Golden GateA community storytelling project about contemporary folk memories of the early Chinese pioneers who helped build the San Francisco Bay Area and American West.

A P R O J E C T B Y R E N E Y U N G

in collaboration with sound artist Jeremiah Moore

A Community Storytelling Event

NPS Photo: 1880 shrimp junk in the San Francisco bay

WORKSHOP READING:

Special Preview Excerpt & Audience Story Circlespresented in partnership with the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

Come hear stories about Chinese maritime life and early settlements in the Bay!

Between 1849 and the early 1880s a quarter million Chinese came to California to work in the gold mines, railroads, lumber industry, fisheries, and as migrant farm laborers, including some 15,000 Chinese who worked on the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. But today there is scant record about these pioneers — they have mostly been forgotten as individuals.

Hear evocative stories passed down for generations that reveal glimpses of the early Chinese immigrants and their families who lived in the San Francisco Bay region. Bring your stories about inter-cultural flow to share at the special audience story circles!
