Graph or network theory has its traditional applications in such diverse areas as communications, routing and queuing, transportation, environmental network webbing, and PERT (Performance Evaluation and Review Technique) in business and government, It can also be used to trace the spread of information, rumors, and disease in search of an original source. An exercise in the latter was offered to a group of seventh graders taking a mathematics enrichment section in a local community college. It proved both diverse and entertaining.

In a search for alternative funding sources, as well as opportunities to involve the community voluntarily in the rehabilitation of visually impaired persons, the Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Daytona Beach turned to the local community college. After eight years of increasing cooperation and program diversification, the experiment continues and has become an integral part of the entire program. Although variations of this model undoubtedly exist in other areas of the nation, it might well serve as an example of the advantages—and risks—of increasing services through the extensive use of a community agency.

The old adage “build it and they will come” does not apply in the context of study abroad at the community college. Community colleges have historically struggled with study abroad enrollment due to a number of factors including inadequate funding, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of interest and awareness on behalf of their students. While there are many factors that go into successful programming for study abroad, one key element is outreach. This chapter will define outreach in terms of the marketing and communication methods to three key stakeholders in study abroad: students, faculty, and the local community. It will be argued that program administrators need to better understand the various ways in which outreach is used to increase both student enrollment, minority students in particular, and the number of faculty engaged in leading study abroad at the community college. The chapter will conclude by proposing some strategies for identifying funding opportunities from local community partners.

The Information Flow Monitor (IFM) is a protocol and tool that can record dependencies between exchanged information in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). This makes it possible to determine the original source of faulty information in case of an error and to correct errors at their origin. However, the IFM protocol also requires additional resources in terms of processing time and network traffic. In this paper, we measure the additional resources required using an example network and discuss how these resources can affect the operation of a CPS.

Recent efforts to increase college access and completion concentrate on reducing tuition rates at community colleges, but researchers and policymakers alike have expressed concern that such reductions may not lead to long-term gains in college completion. In this paper, I use detailed data on students' college enrollment and completion outcomes to study how community college tuition rates affect students' outcomes across both public and private colleges. By exploiting spatial variation in tuition rates, I find that reducing tuition at a student's local community college by $1,000 increases enrollment at the college by 3.5 percentage points (18%) and reduces enrollment at non-local community colleges, for-profit institutions, and other private, vocationally-focused colleges, by 1.9 percentage points (15%). This shift in enrollment choices increases students' persistence in college, credit completion, and the probability that they transfer to and earn bachelor's degrees from four-year colleges.

The importance of the teacher as a role model has not been listed on students' evaluation of instruction at a local community college, but research has shown that this is a concern for the motivation of first-year deficiency-level college students. This study surveyed students in deficiency-level classes on whether their motivation to learn is improved by having a well-dressed teacher (superficial role model). Both day and night students were not significantly motivated by the described teacher's dress. Night students were, however, significantly more motivated by the teacher's qualities (including dress) than were day students.

Mathematics Course

Two years ago, when I learned that even with a college degree and nine years of teaching experience I still needed another mathematics course to become “highly qualified,” I got really scared. What kind of course should I take? For what purpose? Although I am not an expert in mathematics, I knew that taking more courses like the ones I took in college would not help me in my teaching. Other teachers advised me to take one of the lowerlevel mathematics courses at the local community college. These were offered during the summer and were basically a review of eighth-grade prealgebra. This could be an easy way to achieve my goal of becoming “highly qualified.” But I did not see how a course like this would help me become a better teacher.

Twelve subjects, six with programming experience and six without, learned a subset of the IBM 5110 Computing System BASIC programming language commands. Subjects used an instructional text which contained example programs for them to run and problems for which they had to write, run, and debug simple but realistic programs. All of the subjects were either full or part time students at a local community college. Subjects with programming experience completed the course in almost half the time, asked fewer questions, scored significantly higher on the quiz, and completed more programs on the first attempt than did subjects without programming experience. Based on the results, subjects’ suggestions, and experimenter observations, a number of recommendations about the language were made to improve the ease with which subjects could learn and use this version of BASIC.

Nyalik tribe community in Silimo District Yahukimo Regency Papua have traditional knowledge about the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) applied it in the cultivation. Traditional knowledge is knowledge of local community in an area that a culture tradition handed down from generation to generation. Traditional knowledge about the sweet potato is a wealth of local wisdom in Papua, which need to be investigated, developeds, utilized and conserved the types of sweet potatoes which is quite much and widely spread in Papua. It is important to support local food diversification program and to improve national food security. The method of the research is descriptive qualitative method by doing observation. Data was obtained from the original source of the sweet potato farmer as respondent by using questionnaire and also measurement and documentation in the field. The result showed that Nyalik tribe people have recognized, identified and cultivated 33 types of sweet potatoes and grouped them according to their used into 5 groups: as for baby food or children, adult food, sick person, traditional ceremonies and animal feed. Nyalik tribe community has a traditional knowledge about the sweet potato and cultivation system and also how to overcome the obstacles in sweet potato cultivation. Keywords: Traditional knowledge, I. batatas, Nyalik tribe, Silimo, Yahukimo

The purpose of this exploratory study was to characterize college student beliefs about where it is acceptable to touch and be touched by other students in casual social interactions. Undergraduate students at a residential university (N = 242) and at a local community college (N = 200) completed the Touch Survey. The survey measures beliefs about touching in social interactions. Hierarchical cluster analyses were used to form touch zones (Public, Discretionary, and Private) by gender and direction of touch. The results of the study showed distinct same- and opposite-gender touch zone patterns, and there were touch zone differences between the two campuses. There were reciprocal touch zones for residential university male/male public touch zones and female/female private touch zones. There were no reciprocal touch zones for the community college sample. Implications for college health educators are discussed.
