B.A.(Political Science and German), M.A. and Ph.D. (German literature specializing in the Weimar period): University of California, Berkeley |
Ms. Pahl taught German at CCSF from 1991-2003, and in 2001 began non-instructional work in the Language Center, where she provides student services in the Language Center, assisting students and instructors in using language-learning technology and various multi-media resources.
Blogs? Yes! Ms. Pahl keeps two blogs updated for the German Language Program (http://ccsfdeutschnaklar.blogspot.com/) and for the Foreign Language Department (http://ccsflanguagecenter.blogspot.com/). She also serves as the webmeisterin for the Foreign Language Department website.
Since German is perceived as a "difficult to learn" language (what with 4 declension cases, primary and secondary adjective endings, and, um Himmels willen!, 10-syllable compound words), Ms. Pahl has evolved her teaching philosophy to include some salesmanship, much encouragement ("If can learn German, you can too!") and a class-by-class refutation of T.L. Peacock's quote that "Life is too short to learn German." In the Language Center, Ms. Pahl is able to extend her encouragement and support to a wider group of students in their quest to learn any one (or more!) of the credit languages taught at CCSF.
Ms. Pahl served as committee chair of the International Education Advisory Committee from 2005-2009.
When she is not working in the Language Center, Ms. Pahl keeps up with political events and commentary, listens to NPR, and plans at least one new meal per week taken from her extensive cookbook and recipe collection.

I believe in the college experience, which is sometimes hard to gain, but can be found in the community college. This said, I also believe in finding the most expeditious path through schooling so to save the student time and the public its resources. The net result is that our department is lean, it does not venture to duplicate its own classes nor those offered in so many CCSF departments. It means that we will use alternative delivery to supplement instruction, but will not replace the classroom and lab as a place to meet and network with future colleagues. It means I am flexible with program requirements, accepting transfer or waiving requriements and advising accordingly. My door is open, when you enter my office you become for that moment the most important matter in the universe.
Advisor to Alpha Gamma Sigma California Community College Honors Society, Omega Chapter at CCSF (since 1999).
