I just received two items of interest from Hester Lewellen, a math
educator at Baldwin-Wallace College.
 
1.  A six-page comparative review of the textbooks by Musser/Burger,
     Long/DeTemple, and Billstein et al.  This could prove useful the
     next time we select a MTH 116-116 textbook.
 
2.  A geometry test to assess a student's Van Hiele level.  (In its
     present format, it takes up 11 pages, so it should be re-typed
     before we would use it to test more than a handful of students.)
