SJCC is one of the four colleges and five adult education schools that participate in the SBCAE (south bay consortium adult education).

“SJCC has established a MOU (memorandum of understanding) which acts as a bridge between the SJCC ESL curriculum and the ESL curriculum offered at the Adult Education centers who participate in the SBCAE” said ESL instructor Novella Simonson.

Enrollment in the SJCC free no credit ESL program is being offered to everyone who first qualifies for the program through the SBCAE or any other qualified source, such as private schools such as the

“A separate application is administered by SJCC for free no credit students but the standard placement test for all ESL students is still used to asses the students current level of competency” said Monique

Rodarte of the Language Arts Department.

There are three free no credit career technical education (CTE) classes being offered at SJCC; ESL in health care, ESL for computers and computing, and ESL for the workplace.

There are five free no credit

courses being offered to ESL students to bridge the gap between ESL students and mainstream English students.

The five standard free no credit ESL courses offered are ESL 531 Listening and Speaking, ESL 532 Reading and Writing, ESL 323 Reading and Vocabulary Development, ESL 322 Paragraph Development and ESL 542 Intermediate Level Grammar.

“The free no credit ESL program benefits the resident status students in three ways; in

most cases it eliminates the 1 year resident requirement, it allows the students to enroll at the normal tuition rate, and it allows immigrant students to apply for other college programs available such as financial aid,” said Simonson.

Sparkpoint acts as the hub for the SBCAE and can be found at http.opendoorsouthbay.org “ESL 324 has great worth for us because we are being prepared for higher education,” said Carlos Alvarado an ESL student.

Extracurricular activities are important at the college level for many reasons.

Opportunities to meet new people with common interests and being closely involved with activities you enjoy comes with joining an organized club.

Building authentic connections with those of similar views and backgrounds can give you the chance to make a difference at your college.

The importance and even the desire to partake in extracurricular activities is felt among us, unfortunately for some of us the truth is we do not have the time.

Between attending school full time, working full-time jobs, working when we are doing homework and personal projects that must get done during any and all downtime, there are just not enough hours in the day.

There are those who do have the extra hours in the day to give and the will to take part in anything extra, but there is a prevalent idea that applications — college or job-related — are less worthy

than those applications which are filled with personal service to clubs, organizations and related extracurricular activities.

This idea has got to stop being imposed on students.

We are encouraged to put a resume together in high school — a time period in most young adults’ lives when the responsibilities and priorities boil down to getting through high school, not necessarily gaining experience in the workforce.

It is here where the problem originates.

Without the experience we fill these resumes with highlights of our high school accomplishments.

So long as it has prestigious titles and accomplishments ( served as Varsity team captain for three seasons, Madera South Tournament Champion, twotime All-City Defensive Player, first-chair violinist, Treasurer for Debate Team, etc.) we think we are fine.

We are told that companies, employers and higher education institutions are impressed solely with feats of the sort. We are encouraged to find what we enjoy, to participate and to volunteer.

When pickings are slim or participation is low why hasn’t there been more transparency on the requirements to forming clubs and the monetary support the Associated Student Government gives in return? Even just hearing

that same level of encouragement and push that go into joining the clubs and showing up to the club fairs is much more than what currently is.

The thought that most participants take part simply because it’s an unspoken requirement used to impress college and job prospects can eventually lead to undedicated members of society as they are likely undedicated club members already.

For those involved in programs and classes with extended meeting durations, often more than three hours, the time that is required to do the assigned work not to mention the time that comes from attending the class weekly and any study time combined, leaves little room for anything else.

More than anything, the time set aside and the challenges faced simply to be a part of these programs cannot be put onto a resume.

For some, it takes months, even years to arrange education schedules in line with our livelihood, so finding the time to join a club as an active and efficient participant is all the way out of the question.

In print, the word dedication is one-dimensional.

These resumes don’t get sugarcoated with extras, and sometimes they don’t need to. There are some programs that are closely

connected to the corresponding field of work.

Many students receive job offers while still attending classes.

Many are part of guarantee transfer programs.

If there is no immediate incentive or update that can be made to our LinkedIn by doing something “extra,” is it even worth our time?

Extracurriculars that are rooted in our genuine interests are pertinent to our self-discovery.

It is a fact of nature that one makes time for that which is important. It is also a fact that students must tend to their responsibilities — parenting, jobs, current schedule restraints, etc.

Often, these individuals have begun making strides in the direction their career path is headed, and their busy lives aren’t in need of any extracurricular activities.

If you just don’t participate because none of the clubs or programs interest you, certainly there should be a group, representing your belief in the student body.

Making time and space for a worthy cause comes from a valuable place. This is why any form of extracurricular adds strength to resumes.

No matter the form of participation, adding substance to your resume results in a wellrounded individual and candidate.

SJCC emergency preparedness an issue in lieu of shootings Active shooter threat at San Jose State University causes concern on campus

BY REGINALD WEBB

TIMES STAFF

A threat was written in a women’s bathroom at San Jose State University on Feb. 28. An active shooter threat situation was put into effect. The threat was deemed not credible and classes continued throughout the day, including some with midterms.

Others ignored the threat, including former SJCC student and current SJSU student Melissa Martinez who took a midterm in the building where the threat was located, “We received emails about the threat. I heard the threat was at 5 p.m. and it was 4 p.m. so I stayed,” Martinez said.

Copycats are expected following the event in Parkland on Feb. 14. The event prompted a national debate on guns and school safety which has once again been become a topic of conversation following the shooting at Santa Fe High School on May 18. Schools are reviewing and revising emergency protocols across the nation including SJSU. San Jose City College has policies in place addressing this issue as well. Per the college website, District Police have

posted the YouTube video link, “Run, Hide, Defend,” which details how students should respond to an active shooter situation. It focuses on the moments prior to the arrival of first responders providing do’s and don’ts as well as valuable tips toward surviving such an episode.

Along with campus police, SJCC is located across the west end of the street from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and a fire department headquarters on its east. While the close proximity is an advantage for SJCC, Joy Alexiou, Public Information Officer for Santa Clara Valley Medical Center wrote, “At this time we have not conducted an exercise with San Jose City College.”

SJCC student and student trustee for the District Board, Joseph Heady, is willing to bring up concerns at a district meeting.

Heady said he is focused more on prevention wanting to make sure resources are in place to identify potential issues with students who are struggling mentally or find themselves a victim of bullying or ridicule.

District Police Chief Thomas Morales credits an already existing behavioral intervention

team on campus represented by a team made up of police, mental health, and academic achievement that identifies and assesses potential problems with students.

Last July, an incident in which a student came on campus with a taser and his vehicle off campus was found to have live ammunition. Although the threat was thwarted it raised staff concerns regarding the speed by which information became known about the suspect’s intentions and the restraining order established due to the suspects threat toward a teacher on campus.

SJCC librarian Robert Wing raised concerns during an Academic Senate meeting saying,” My main concern is the delay in getting the word out and not having the campus notified, especially the five-year restraining order. There was even a delay, I believe it was four days, for just the initial email to go out to campus under the heading ‘Timely Warning.”

Wing asserted it took too long for notification and it created a major liability to the college in the case of the college knowing information and not giving a timely heads up to staff concerning the restraining order.

Since these events happen prior to first responders or police being present, Heady wonders as many

do, whether it is a good idea to let it be known that some on campus carry concealed weapons as a deterrence. In this instance the campus would no longer be a gun-free zone.

Chief Morales is firmly against this idea citing concerns about training and the difficulty in obtaining such a license in Santa Clara County. Morales is happy with the job officers are doing maintaining campus safety and has addressed some of the issues discussed by Wing as far as timely notification and private security. However, he believes more officers on campus going forward would provide both SJCC and Evergreen colleges with more safety.

As far as technology, Chief Morales stated there is a sufficient number of cameras strategically placed recording in real time to deal with an active shooter threat.

This avoids the confusion that occurred during the Parkland shooting with regard to its video received by police there that recorded with a 20-minute delay creating confusion in locating the suspect.

Morales said these type of events happen in, “3 to 4 minutes,” before emergency personnel arrives. SJCC would be assisted in such a scenario by SJPD, County Sheriffs, and FBI, all of which have offices close by.

This newspaper issue is produced by spring 2018 students. Fall 2018 students will be in charge from now.

Correction:

A story published in the May 8, edition of the City College Times, titled “Dental assisting No.1 in the nation,” has mistakenly stated that Commission on Dental Accreditation ranked SJCC as the best dental assisting program in the nation. Schools.com has found SJCC to be the best dental assisting program in the nation, not CODA. The Times regrets the error.

French colleges vs. American colleges A foreigner’s point of view at student life in SJCC

BY ALIX DUHON TIMES STAFF

I am happy that I finally succeeded in my American educational journey, I graduated in May 2018, I am done with SJCC. I met some great professors and students, my student visa allowed me to stay longer in the U.S. but for the most part, for my personal point of view, it was a waste of money.

I came to the U.S. four years ago as an au pair (a foreign person hired by a family to take care of their children.) to learn English.

I got a business degree in France but my English was a disaster, I just knew how to introduce myself, and some basic words and sentences but that was it.

During my first year in the U.S. my English started to improve, I could start to understand people better, while improving reading and writing in English.

After my au pair year I got the opportunity to stay in the country and become a student.

I was really excited by the idea of living an American student life. In the movies, it looked great. The American students seem to have a busy but fun life between class, extra activities, jobs, parties, and friends. Plus it was hard to make friends with people here, so I thought that would be a good way to socialize more.

Finally the idea of having an American degree could be good on my French resume.

I registered at SJCC as an international student and started my journey to get an associate degree in Media Arts.

Because I already had a degree from France, I can compare the two systems of education. The differences are really noticeable.

For the most part I would say that I have been disappointed by the education here.

The price

I got my degree in France with an internship, so I was at school every Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. To 6 p.m. for two years, sitting in the same classroom, with the exact same classmates.

From Monday to Wednesday I was working for a company in a field related to my diploma.

My job was commercial assistant.

I was taking appointment with therapists as speech therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and neuropsychologists to offer them demonstrations of rehabilitation softwares that they could use during their sessions to improve the cognitive functions of their patients. The company paid me plus they were paying for my school.

Education is free in France from preschool to university.

In the case of internship the establishments that provide the education are private and are charging the sponsor companies for the school fees. However the French Regions give scholarships to the companies that hire a student to motivate them to give jobs to young people and allow them to get a degree at the same time.

Only a few private schools have fees in France, as the most expensive school in France is EMLyon. A glorious international business school that charge the students $17,000 per year. In SJCC, according to information found on the school website, you pay $46 per unit as a US citizen and $285 for an international student.

If a foreign student goes to study in France it will be free.

Friendship

In France you are in the same classroom with the same people, only the professors move from one class to another. You sit at the same spot for two years, making it easy to make friends.

Today I am still regularly in touch with my classmates from college in France, even if it was five years ago. Here I don’t even stay in touch with the classmates from the semester before.

I think it is not just school, it is cultural. In the U.S. you become friends really fast but for a short amount of time, it can be just for a night during a party, or just for a few months during a school semester. In France it takes us time to be friends, we are not open to new people easily, so once we become friends it is better to be for life.

Even if you share your phone number, Snapchat or Facebook, you know that your classmates are going to disappear at one point when the semester is over.

So the American student life dream that I watched on movies where the students hang out with a lot of friends all the time didn’t appear at all here.

Level of education

The newspaper The Guardian published a world education ranking list established with data collected about reading, math, and science. The top 10 is Finland, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Canada, Estonia, Australia, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. The U.S. appears 17th and France 21st.

So knowing that the U.S. has a better rank than France, I hoped to get a good level of education. But this is where my biggest disappointment was.

ILLUSTRATION BY ALIX DUHON/TIMES STAFF

I didn’t find it hard enough, it was way more complicated to get my diploma back home than my associate here.

Here you can pick your classes, you can even pick your professor, it is like grocery shopping. Back home you don’t have the choice of classes or professors, it is imposed for two years.

To validate the degree you have final exams that last a week and regroup everything that you learn during two years. The tests are composed of essays to write in three hours, study of professional cases for five hours, oral test in front of people you don’t know.

It is really stressful.

Here if you fail your class you can try again next semester with another professor. Plus, I have to be honest, it is hard to fail a class in SJCC. Between the extra credits, the tests that are multiple choice answers, some professors who allow you to keep your notes during the tests and some who never give you homework, you really have to never show up in class to not pass it.

I didn’t find it serious enough for some classes, especially for the classes that concern my major. I wish it would have been more professional oriented and less high school scholar oriented.

Promise will compromise the value of higher education

Invest instead in preschool

BY REGINALD WEBB

TIMES REPORTER

San Jose Promise is targeted for 1,000 enrolled students within SJCC-EVC district this fall semester according to Robert Gutierre, Director of Metas. The idea is to encourage lower income students to continue their education while not incurring so much debt. San Jose Promise will essentially pay for the first 2 years of college. This will minimize student debt substantially for many.

California promise programs in participating cities like San Francisco and San Jose are attempting to make college plausible for low income and poor communities. While this will open up a window of opportunity and serve as a way of elevating families out of poverty, it actually devalues college.

A student loan is a good investment.

Debt is a major problem, but students

NEXT NEWSPAPER: SEPT. 25

should be encouraged to invest in themselves and maximize their college experience while minimizing work so that they can compete with their peers from wealthier backgrounds. Student debt is overstated as a problem. The real culprit that makes it difficult to pay back is California’s cost of living.

Will a degree still have value or might it begin to be taken for granted?

Associate Degrees already have limited value in the labor market and serve as a marker for making a student eligible for transfer to a UC or CSU. Is it possible students might begin to underperform? These are real concerns policymakers should have. Some of the obstacles to education are exacerbated by astronomical housing costs. Also, the decreasing job market for young adults presents a problem. The service

industry, both restaurant and retail used to employ college students parttime. Over the years immigration has created a situation where high school and college students have less job options as they have had to share this sector of the economy with immigrants.

Manufacturing jobs have been lost as well due to global free market forces and technological advancements such as robotics.

These two factors if addressed will make community college affordable as it once was. Rent control in close proximity to schools could address the lack of affordable housing. American foreign policy toward Mexico and Latin America that focuses on investment, trade, and industrialization would serve as a way to stabilize the unsustainable immigration border states like California experience.

Promising free education does not address the underlying issues that drive the high cost of living Californians

experience nor will it prepare a future workforce for the jobs of the future.

Policymakers should revisit universal preschool to create a more upwardly mobile society. Preschool is very critical to a child’s overall educational development.

Universal preschool is the catalyst toward closing the achievement gap in k-12 education. Less fortunate children will not fall behind as they have if California pre-school was universal.

It can have the effect of transforming public schools and even be the key to someday having the last two years of high school looking more like the first two years of college as far as curriculum.

College level credits done in high school where public education already is free would speed up the time it takes to get an undergraduate degree and save money as a result. More students from all income levels would then pursue graduate school which would have the effect of transforming society.

A&E 7 Red Dead Redemption 2 looks to deliver on hype Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018

New game, same great cowboy story

BY GIO GAXIOLA TIMES STAFF

Game developer Rockstar recently revealed its trailer for its upcoming game ‘Red Dead Redemption 2”.

The Red Dead series of games has long been a staple in the gaming world.

The very first game came out way back in 2004 with “Red Dead Revolver,” one of the first open world cowboy games to hit the video game market. With a compelling story and great for the time graphics, the game received great reviews. This was the birth of a new video game franchise for Rockstar.

Six years later, “Red Dead Redemption” came out for Xbox 360 and PS3. While not a direct sequel to the first game, the premise was still the same. Many wondered if Rockstar could keep the franchise up with the times since gamers are more into battle royal games and MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) games.

Rockstar to no surprise still believes it has a chance to make some more money from the red dead franchise. In early April 2018, Rockstar dropped the trailer for “Red Dead Redemption 2”.

The game was to be released on October 26, 2018.

While we did finally get a release date, fans were irritated with how late the game is coming out. Back in October 2016, Rockstar’s Twitter released a teaser picture for a new Red Dead game-then slotted for a late 2017.

The game was then pushed back to early 2018, then to October 2018.

A gameplay teaser of the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 Taking place a few years after the events of the first Red Dead Redemption, you play as outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of one of the last outlaw gangs in the west “The Dutch van der Linde” gang.

Set in the year 1899, the old west is starting to modernize and the years of outlaws and gunslingers are wearing down in America. With the world starting to turn its back on cowboys,

how will Arthur and his gang survive?

While it is irritating that a highly anticipated game is pushed back from release, I am 100 percent okay with it. If the game is not finished, why release it?

Lets thank Rockstar for taking the time to make sure the game is perfect.

One thing that has players concerned is the online mode for the game.

Rockstar is the publisher for the “Grand Theft Auto” game series. Many gamers

feel they use the pay to win system.

This ruined GTA online because players would spend insane amounts of real world money to get an upper hand on the competition. Many fear that RDR2 will be the same.

I believe this will not be the case.

This is a whole different franchise compared to GTA. Lets hope Rockstar focuses on that which makes the Red Dead franchise so great, the story.

What are some tips you can give to new SJCC students to help them succeed?

Left: Name: Jamie Nguy Age: 25 Major: Nursing major “After each lecture, you should copy down your lecture notes, reorganizing it into a note book. I usually just have a scratch piece of paper that I bring to lecture that I scribble it down really fast during lectures but when I get home I transcribe it, make it neat into my notebook. You should do that every single day.

“Make sure you understand your syllabus and your teacher. Sometimes you might think you know everything but figure out what your teacher’s expectations are and understand your syllabus.”

“Take advantage of the tutoring center on campus, also the databases offered like the library. Any help the professor offers like office hours or extra credits, take advantage of it.”
