A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
-------------------------
We, the editors, take great pleasure in presenting the first issue of the
Teaching in the Community Colleges (Electronic) Journal. The ten of us
represent ten different institutions in nine different states: Michigan,
Tennessee, California, Virginia, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Wyoming,
and Ohio; and true to the nature of the Internet, few if any of us have
ever met face to face. We got together online, and we have done all the
work of the journal electronically.
In this issue, we present four feature articles. The first, by
Patrick Venneri, "Teaching in Prison," provides a candid view of what it
is like to teach on the other side of the wall. It provides useful
information for the educator who is either teaching in a prison or
contemplating such a move. More important than the practical information,
however, are the writer's insights into the student as prisoner and the
professor's opportunity to respond as a caring human being.
The second article, "The Seamless Flow," by Gloria Wolfson,
addresses the problem of student transfers between and within university
and college systems. The process needs to be improved. The article is
followed by an extended comment by TCC-J editor Marc Gottlieb. Don
Richardson's article, "Late Registration," is based on a discussion on
the COMMCOLL electronic forum, in which participants argued the pros and
cons of allowing students to register late. In the final article,
"Quantitative Research Techniques across the Curriculum," Susan
Starrfield describes a statistics/quantitative reasoning requirement
that is being considered by the Maricopa County Community College
District.
We hope you will find the articles useful and enjoyable, and we look
forward to receiving your comments and suggestions to guide us in
developing a journal that addresses your concerns and interests.
We invite all of you to write and discuss your article ideas with us.
Please see the call for papers in this issue.

***** ABSTRACTS *****
TEACHING IN PRISON, OR LEAR HE KICKED CORDELIA TO THE CURB; HE BUY HIS
CLOTHES AT K-MART, by Patrick W. Venneri
ABSTRACT: The acquisition of voice should be viewed as the single most
important feature in empowering the unempowered. A teacher working
through the humanities has a unique opportunity in an incarcerated setting
to aid in the birthing of that voice; allowing the student-prisoner to
give up the gun, knife, penis, drug, that they used to acquire their
version of empowerment, as they realize the profound effect of
articulation. As the title of a Harlan Ellison short story suggests, "I
Have No Mouth and I Must Scream," the student-prisoners' rage and
frustration must find an acceptable outlet. Composition as the medium and
Shakespeare's plays as the vehicle allows the student-prisoner access to a
new world, the world of academia.
THE SEAMLESS FLOW, by Gloria Wolfson
ABSTRACT: For far too long, higher education has allowed itself to be
balkanized. Students who complete programs at community colleges and who
wish to go on to get a baccaleaureate degree are often penalized and must
retake some, if not all, of the courses they took at the "lower levels."
If we are to really serve students, as our customers, we must provide an
educational system that is seamless and one which allows a natural
progression from one level to another. This paper will examine some of
the reasons why the current system exists and suggest some remedies.
LATE REGISTRATION: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES, by Don Richardson
ABSTRACT: This is a report of an Internet discussion on COMMCOLL
(COMMCOLL@UKCC.BITNET@uga.cc.uga.edu) in which arguments are weighted
against continuing late registration. Drs. John and Suanne Roueche have
established the case for abolishing late registration, and most of the
research and anecdotal evidence support their stance. Respondents to
COMMCOLL agreed with or disagreed with the Roueche stance.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH TECHNIQUES ACROSS THE CURRICULUM, by Susan
Starrfield
ABSTRACT: Community colleges acknowledge the importance of helping
students attain skills which will transfer across the disciplines and
which students can apply immediately in academic and work settings.
Mathematical logic and reasoning are core competencies which can be taught
in a variety of disciplines as pertinent to problem solving. Therefore,
the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) is considering
replacings the computer usage requirement for the AA degree with three
credit hours of statistics/quantitative reasoning or computer
applications. The District is facilitating the development of curricula
which incorporate mathematics and curricula specifically for mathematics
which is based upon principles of mathematics reform. Examples of
curricula for use in sociology and for use in astronomy are described.
