Hi Maria,

I just talked with Beverly West (she gave me some calculus videos to
look at (they were reserved for her at the libr. but she's about to
leave town for a few days so is passing them on to me)).

Anyway, I mentioned to her that you and I were talking about
implementing some kind of alternative/innovative teaching. I also
asked about her comment that she's "not close to the centers of power"
-- apparently that means, primarily, the Curriculum Committee.

...I suggested that I'd say to Peter Kahn that several of us grad
students were thinking about this issue, and would like to pursue it
with Beverly West, and also get his advice. She said that doing that
would be just fine.

She also said to talk to Tom Rishel. I didn't ask her specifically,
but from the way she said it (I could be mistaken) it seemed that
Rishel, although he may not be enthusiastic about "reform", is not as
reluctant about it as we might have been thinking.

So, what do you think? Have you gotten others "on board" on this?

And do you want to join me together to talk to Rishel and Kahn?

Harel

P.S. -- what is "velika!!!"
