Some people like halibut cheese casserole. Other people like Expos.
Richard C. Marius said his concerns that grading methods at Harvard often ignore students' poor writing, and that graders do little to develop writing skills, prompted him to begin a report on the Expos program to Dean of the Faculty Henry Rosovsky, which he will complete this summer.
Marius's report will aim at making writing a larger part of all student work by training section leaders in Core courses to critique papers, having the Expos office monitor their work, and assigning Expos teachers to live in Houses as resident tutors.
Expos teacher Lawrence A. Weinstein has held several similar workshops for interested section leaders this year, emphasizing grading techniques that do not "demoralize" students.
Several student consultants at the Writing Center--a student-advising program administered by the Expos office--agreed yesterday that, as Susan M. Hack '82 put it. "It is good to get the issue of writing itself in the air."
