Colleges re-think remedial mathReform of remedial math
courses has been a hot topicfor community colleges acrossthe nation in effort to increasegraduation rates.
The college has been work-ing with various high schoolsto promote a change in mathcurriculum, insisting thathigh school students need totake four years of math in-stead of the minimum of three
to avoid taking remedialclasses that do not count to-wards a degree, rather as anentry to higher level mathcourses.
Currently there’s a discon-nect between K-12 math edu-cation and higher leveleducational systems, this mis-alignment leaves many stu-dents entering the collegeatmosphere unprepared, af-fecting their ability to earn de-grees.
In a report released by Lt.Gov. Sheila Simon after tour-ing 48 of Illinois’ communitycolleges, she refers to the sta-tistic that only one in five firsttime students enrolled gradu-ate with an associates degreewithin three years, as a call toarms for collaboration.
Her recommendation in-cludes that high schoolsshould voluntarily requirefour years of math, that highschools and community col-
leges should partner to offerdual credit courses to all highschool juniors and seniors andthat community collegesshould embed remediationand developmental classesinto credit bearing courses.
Simons’ concerns are echoedthrough Executive Vice Presi-dent of Academic AffairsJoseph Collins, who agreesthat the ultimate goal is to in-crease graduation rates andoversees programs that work
to achieve that goal such asdual-credit courses offered byCOD to high school seniors.
Associate Dean of Mathe-matics Tom Schrader worksclosely with high schools andis part of committees thatfocus on the realignment ofelementary through collegecurriculum.
Schrader regularly meetswith high school representa-tives, emphasizing the impor-tance of having four years ofmath. He also works on lob-bying for alternative methodssuch as a placement tests thathigh school students take intheir junior year, that givesthem an understanding oftheir standing with the col-lege’s level of math, a year be-fore they graduate.“You take four years of Eng-lish, why not math?” he asks.

“Higher education can’t be aluxury, it is an economic im-perative that every family inAmerica should be able to af-ford,” US President BarrackObama said in the Jan. 24State of the Union address.
That sentiment rang out toan audience as Obama movedright into discussing educa-tion reform, specifically re-volving around communitycolleges.
Obama advocated the trans-formation of community col-leges into community careercenters. Looking for places“that teach people skills thatbusinesses are looking forright now.”
With that being said, itwould appear that COD is onthe right path.
After a signing last February,the college developed a newtool to help students achieveaffordable education and helptrain them for prospective ca-reers.
The 3+1 agreement withLewis University in CriminalJustice paved the way for aflood of seven new partner-ships with multiple universi-ties.
These agreements allowCOD students to take threeyears of classes geared towarda particular major, on the col-lege’s main campus, while thefourth year is also taught atCOD but by other universityprofessors.
In the last year of study,teachers from Roosevelt Uni-versity, Benedictine Universityor Governor’s State Univer-sity or whoever the partner-ship is with, will come toCOD’s campus to teach, mak-ing a four-year bachelor’s de-gree in reach for students whocan’t afford to smash open thepiggy bank.
Obama highlighted theimportance of giving com-munity colleges the neces-sary resources to grow into
career centers and pair upwith businesses.
It is good to see the collegemoving forward with theseprogressive strides in highereducation.
A bonus for the students isthat, not only are they gettinga bachelor’s degree in theirdesired field of study, but alsothere is a reduced tuition costfor the final year.
Considering otheruniversity professorswill be teaching thefourth year, students are re-quired to pay tuition for thecollege in which they are hop-ing to attain a degree from.
For example, if a student atthe college were looking intopursuing the Criminal Justicedegree for Lewis, they wouldpay at a 40 percent reducedtuition rate.
This rate fluctuates depend-ing on the university and part-nership. But the reduction in
tuition is a definite perk re-gardless.
Obama touched on his plansto train two million Ameri-cans with the skills they needthat will lead directly to a job.These 3+1 agreements accom-plish that.
Specialized training for a ca-reer is on the horizon withprograms that focus entirely
on a specific area ofstudy.
It is especially vitalin a nation where
American students owe awhopping $865 million in stu-dent loan debt, which ishigher than the nation’s creditcard debt.
This is exactly the reasonwhy 3+1 agreements are sokey. Helping students save abuck and offering them a four-year degree is definitely an in-novative step in the rightdirection.
What is the issue with these
partnerships? Quite simply, there aren’t
enough of them.The Courier has been critical
of if the college’s administra-tion values students and theiracademic endeavors.
Despite a whirlwind of prob-lems this past year, it is truly alandmark in higher educationwhen a community collegetakes the initiative to changewith the economic climate andadapt to its students’ needs.
The college needs to con-tinue pursuing these educa-tionally revolutionarymovements in making collegeaffordable and stretching thelimits of junior colleges every-where.
Two-year institutions shouldtake a page from COD’s play-book and look at incorporat-ing more student-friendlyacademic partnerships thathave little cost and tremen-dous gains.

It's very convenient to sim-ply forget or overlook famousR&B performer ChrisBrown’s attack on his formergirlfriend and pop singer Ri-hanna.
With a welcoming of Brownat this year’s Grammys, themere fact that one can simplymesh back into society with-out facing the consequencesof their actions is enough toturn stomachs.
Violently attacking his then-girlfriend is something thatshould constantly ring loudlyin people’s mind when theythink of Chris Brown.
Just because someone cansing well, doesn’t make them,in any way, above the law.Brown deserves to be heavilycriticized for his disgustingaction, and further penalized
by the judicial system.Nobody, not even celebri-
ties, should be held at a dif-ferent standard.
If it is acceptable for Brownto beat his girlfriend, wait ayear and integrate back intosociety with ease, then whatis the limit of celebrity status?
People should not idolize aman who resorted to such un-justifiable decisions.
But it's unconscionable todo so.
We hear messages all thetime about domestic violenceand abusive relationships andwe say the abuser is an awfulperson, but I guess that's justbecause they don't have arecord contract.
Chris Brown is just anotherexample of a celebrity com-mitting a crime that wouldsend an average civilian tojail, but does not receive anequally severe penalty.
This also illustrates a majorproblem with society, whengirls publish online com-ments, saying they wishChris Brown would hit thembecause he's so hot.
Is it the crime itself thatpeople overlook? WouldAmerica's reaction changehad he raped a woman orcommitted murder?
My guess is that his sup-porters would focus solelyon his ability to dance andsing.
Celebrities need to be held accountable fortheir actions, held to a different standardBy Elise AndersonGraphics Editor

“I can only teach them somuch in the classroom, butmy students learn more whenthey are able to experiencewhat I am teaching,” Profes-sor of Philosophy and Reli-gion Kent Richter said.
It was with this mindsetthat Richter brought to his re-ligion class, History of Ju-daism, Christianity andIslam.
Richter recently invited theclass to local Etz Chaim syna-gogue in Lombard as theylearned about more exten-sively about Judaism.
The Etz Chaim Congrega-tion has 500 families that be-long to it and has 400 kidsenrolled in their school.
As members of the classtook their seats inside thesynagogue, former presidentof Etz Chaim, Alan Herbach,handed a copy of the congre-gation’s prayer book,Mishkan T’Filah, to the stu-dents.
Written in Hebrew withtranslations on the adjacentpage, Herbach explained howHebrew is read from right to
left, clearing up the students’confusion on why the bookwas “backwards.”
Herbach led the presenta-tion of the synagogue, dis-cussing the reformed Judaismthat the congregation prac-tices and how it is differentfrom Orthodox Judaism.
“We are reform Jews mean-ing we are the most liberalmembers of the Jewish faith,”Herbach said.
He explained how themembers of the synagogue donot necessarily eat kosherfoods or cease work on Shab-bat, the Jewish day of rest.
“During Shabbat, it is ex-pected that we do notwork…that means no driv-ing, no turning on lightswitches, you aren’t evensupposed to tear a sheet oftoilet paper,” Herbach said.
Despite this, they still prac-tice other Jewish traditionslike Bar and Bat mitzvahs andcelebrate holidays likePassover.
However, one concept thatsome students could notwrap their minds around waswhen Herbach put forth thenotion that the congregationhas members who are atheistsbut still come to Friday serv-
ices. Herbach rationalized this
by explaining that Judaism isseen as more of a cultural ob-ligation than it is a religiousone, an idea that got somestudents engaged in the con-versation.
“This is exactly the reactionI was hoping to have from theclass,” Richter said.
One concept of the Jewishfaith that is the same for any-one who practices it is thereading of the Torah, the holybook of Judaism.
According to Herbach,every synagogue around theworld reads the same portionof the Torah for each day ofservice. But it was the han-dling of the Torah that reallycaught the class’ attention.
The book is hand-written byrabbis designated to do soand cost around $50,000 to$100,000. When reading fromthe Torah, one cannot turnthe pages by hand but ratherusing a silver rod called ayad.
This trip is the first of threethat Richter plans to take hisclass on, including aCatholic/Christian churchand a Muslim Mosque later inthe semester.

Little man on campusCatching up with 13 year old COD student, middle schooler Trent Dela Riva
After being at COD for over a year now, what are your thoughts?
I’m happy I came here, definitely better than a normal school. I don’t know it’s different defi-nitely. It’s definitely become easier too since I’ve gotten used to it.
Easier in what way?
I’m learning more from COD and I have better time management. That’s gotten better. Also Istay up pretty late doing homework.
How late do you usually stay up?
2 A.M., these days.
Wow, how do you manage staying up until 2 o’clock in the morning getting all your home-work done and then go to school the next day?
It’s very difficult it’s the only reason why I drink Mountain Dew, I hate the taste of it but itkeeps me up (laughs). I’ve always got up early because my parents got up early and it’s notlike I can just sleep in.
What’s a normal Tuesday for you?
Wake up at 7, get ready for school, leave at 8:20 and school from 9-4. Then I have some time tostart homework and eat. It’s not exactly time for me to socialize with friends on these days.Then I go to class from 7-9:20
How do you manage to see friends and live the life of a middle school student?
Anytime that’s free really. I don’t have a lot of free time but when I do have time to hang outwith friends, I can’t do anything too crazy because if I hang out with friends on Wednesday I still gotta wake up and get ready for Thursday.
What is your opinion of COD?
It’s a very good school definitely better than middle school. I’ve never been taught at any othercollege but it seems like the best in the state.
How do people react when you tell them you’re a college student?
Well, if it’s an adult they’ll usually think it’s cool or something but if it’s a student then I usu-ally have to bring out a textbook or show my class schedule to prove I’m in the class.
Do you ever feel like you miss out on anything because of your work load?
Yeah, especially with friends and sports. The kid side of me would sometimes rather be play-ing with my friends or sports than studying.
What are your plans for the future?
I’m trying to get into the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) for eighth grade. I think Ican get in but there a lot of smart kids trying to get in for eighth grade too. It’s basically like asmall college.
What are your plans for after IMSA?
Ideally, and this may sound a little cliché but MIT is my dream school.
What profession do you want to pursue?
Well, it used to be astronaut, but then I turned ten. So it’s between electronic engineer andphysicist.

Art professor wins awardfor sculpture, explains‘animal’ inspiration
Marina Kuchinski, AssociateArt Professor, was awarded aJuror’s Award for her work inthe “Beyond the Brickyard”exhibit at the Archie BrayFoundation for the CeramicArts in Helena, MT and remi-nisces on her artistic careerwith the Courier.Kuchinski was born in Israelinto an artistic family. Her fa-ther drew for a hobby and hermother was a fashion de-signer. “I remember watchingmy father and kind of copyinghim and that’s how I starteddrawing,” Kuchinski said.“My style has been consis-tent since grad school at PennState where I began to focusmore on the human experi-ence,” Kuchinski said. Cur-rently, her work has beengeared toward exploring ani-mals. Most specifically dogs.Kuchinski plans to capturethe relationship betweenhuman and canine and how
the two interact in terms of af-fection and respect.Kuchinski has taught ceram-ics and drawing at the collegefor 12 years and has had workdisplayed in hundreds of ex-hibits throughout the countryand in Israel. There is no con-nection in her work to her Is-raeli heritage or Americanculture because “when itcomes down to it, humans areall the same, and my goal is toportray that same human ex-perience in my work,”Kuchinski said.As a perfectionist, sheprefers her latter creations be-cause they have progressedover time and she can see thematuration in her work. “Ijust look at something and Ican see how to make it bet-ter,” Kuchinski said.For those striving towards acareer in the arts Kuchinskiadvices to “keep it up, to al-ways feel passionate aboutyour work and don’t let anyobstacles discourage you.”

Last Friday gave students and commu-nity members the opportunity to learnto shake and salsa at a free collegeevent.
Dance instructor Diane Smith,headed the event by speaking to thecrowd of around 70 people, in the Kbuilding West Commons, Smith at-tempted to teach merengue dances andencourage students to move andgroove.
The night began with an hour longlesson on salsa and merengue styleswhich then turned into a two hour freedance for the attendees to try out theirnew dance moves.
According to Smith, learning to dancefor adults is often intimidating but forall age groups, she has found a way torelieve some tension.
“In my classes I still use humor a lot
for the same reason,” said Smith. “Ifmy students are more relaxed, they aremore likely to learn and retain whatthey have learned.”
She employs the method of usinghumor in her teaching, especially thosein group lessons or a party session, andhas noticed great benefits.
“If my students are more relaxed,they are more likely to learn and retainwhat they have learned,” said Smoth.“A relaxed attitude and an atmospherewhere they don’t feel judged helpstremendously.”
The night was highlighted not just bythe dance, but also the music selectionswhich covered many bases as far aspreference and could find somethingfor almost everyone throughout theevening. Photos by Nathan Camp

SPORTSthe arc was the difference be-tween both offenses. TheChaps went 0-4 in the firsthalf and concluded the outingwith two three pointers out of11 at 18.2 percent. The Storm-ers were 8-22, at 36 percentfrom the three point line.
“We started out well,” Headcoach Don Klaas said, “andthen we had a rash ofturnovers that gave them lay-ups.”
The Stormer defensehounded the Chaps, forcingfive steals for a combined 18turnovers from the Chaps.Klaas acknowledged thatturnovers have been an issuethis season, as they lead toeasy points for the opposingteam.
Going into halftime, theStormers lead the Chaps 34-23, on a 17-2 run and ex-tended the gap in scoresduring the course of the sec-ond half with 22 points offturnovers, amassing thelargest lead of the game at 69-40.
Pratt lead the Stormers inscoring with 17 points, bene-fiting from good ball move-ment coming from PointGuard Rishaad Alexanderwho dished behind the backpasses to teammates, endingthe night with 11 points, nineassists and a steal.
As the Chaps attempted acome back, leading scorerSophomore guard YeremiahCrutcher, tied with Freshmanguard Xavier Biles at 12points was often tripleteamed, contributing to the 46defensive stops for the Storm-ers.
Klaas was relatively re-served throughout the game,calling shots from the benchand refraining from yelling onthe sidelines as per the usualroutine.
Even addressing the teamafter the game, Klaas said heisn’t one to linger around theobvious. “They know whatthey did,” he added, “we’llcome in tomorrow and workon it.”
definitely played a major fac-tor in their win. Their gameplan of pressing paid off asthe Stormers struggled to findshots on the night, and even-tually led to them forcing upbad shots.
The Lady Chaps recordednine steals on the night andout-rebounded MATC 52-31.Center DD Buttgereit led bothsides, recording 13 rebounds.
“We had a big time turnaround on rebounds, lastgame they killed us on theboards and it was the totalopposite this game,” Cottonsaid. “This helped lead us tothe win.”
Offensively, the Lady Chapsseemed perfectly in-sync withgood ball movement on everyposition and by being patientwith their shot choices. Theydominated the assist categorywith 22 assists againstMATC’s seven.
“They have definitely im-proved on that with the extra
passes,” Cotton said. “Whatthat does is it gets the teammoving and you can tire out ateam with good ball move-ment.”
But the biggest difference inthe game was turnovers.
Because of the Lady Chaps’strong defense, the Stormersmade wild passes and rusheddecisions on many of theirkey possessions, ending with22 turnovers, failing to graspa lead throughout the gamer. “Right now the ball handlingis as strong as maybe it couldbe, so we wanted to try to ex-ploit that a little bit by apply-ing some pressure,” Cottonsaid.
The Lady Chaps capitalizedon these turnovers and arrantpasses as they led to easytransition baskets for, result-ing in a whopping 35-7 differ-ential in points off turnovers.
The Lady Chaps led big forthe entire game, maybe caus-ing some tension on the
Stormers side of the ball asemotions seemed to have got-ten the best of one of playersas she threw her arm in theface of COD guard ElieazaClaudio, sending her to thefloor.
No foul was called on theplay, even as shouts for a fla-grant foul came from the au-dience. Claudio remained onthe ground for a couple min-utes before making her wayto the bench on her ownstrength.
She was later able to returnto the game. “It was an interesting reffedgame,” Cotton said. “Myyoung ladies got caught up inthat a little bit too much. Wejust need to relax and calmdown and focus on our oppo-nent.”
The Lady Chaps looks tocarry this momentum intotheir next match up againstMadison on Saturday.
