Sommers is pursuing some reforms inside Expos, but many of her ideas are for the Harvard curriculum as a whole.
"I want Expos to be an anchor for students in their writing at Harvard," Sommers says. "It should introduce them to the common ground for what is considered good writing at Harvard."
Sommers wants to make writing a more important part of classes, and she has already convinced some professors to introduce writing assignments that resemble those used in the Expos program. Last year, she helped professors Joseph Koerner and Diana L. Eck incorporate more writing into their classes.
Nagy says he is ecstatic about the changes to writing assignments in "Heroes." The number of papers in the class has stayed constant--two--but now there are sequenced writing assignments, due each week in section, which lead up to each paper. In a way, it's just like Expos...
Towards that goal, Expos will be more standardized under Sommers. She wants the program to focus entirely on "writing about texts," which is a skill every Harvard student must have.
