Description of Steve Rodi's Talk

Have you been branded with the R of Reform and cursed at the doors of the calculus cathedral? Do you sell cheap indulgences in developmental mathematics? Do you bamboozle students with visions of heaven in a calculator screen? Are you an educational pentecostal, finding salvation only in classroom groups? Is your one reliable reference a talmudic text in College algebra? Must your students be tried in the cauldron of computer adapted placement before donning the white robes of enrollment? Do you hum the hymn of articulation in the choir of transferability or is your department in tune only with Indiana's value of ? Will the Savanorola of Accreditation find you in the iniquity of excessive adjunct faculty? Then seek forgiveness in the waters of the Sangamon and present yourself April 3-5 to a voice first raised on voodoo in the Big Easy, now Texas' wandering mathematical minister, Stephen Rodi, past AMATYC President and current chair of the MAA Committee on Two year Colleges, who promises to fill your soul with levity and leviation as he confronts the devils all around you. (He also sells elixir.) After his message, confessions and testimony will be accepted from the congregation.
