✺ Lines in the Curriculum: A persistent obstruction to Achievement connecting Algebra and Geometry, 11 AM, March 29, 2010: Conference Room at MIND Institute. This talk is a serious update of an invited talk at an AMS meeting in the late '90s. The html file points to the effect of the Howard Thompson story in enlisting the help of administrators.

The paper on I(nteractive) Q(uestionnaire)s pointed to solid data, coming from the use of technology, that documented my point from actual classrooms at UCI.
