Colette J. Shen ’04, who will be part of the concentrations committee, pointed to what she views as inequalities in the Core between humanities and science concentrators.

“Science people have to do a lot of humanities things, but humanities people don’t do a lot of science,” said Shen.

She said making science a bigger part of general education might help give all students a broader perspective on the world and current issues.

Sheila Lopez ’04, who was named to the pedagogy committee, said improving the learning process would require a commitment from the faculty as well as from students.

She said she hopes all professors will enter their lectures with “a thesis and evidence.”

“[Professors] shouldn’t be using lecture time to ramble on,” she said.

Zachary S. Podolsky ’04, who is also a Crimson editor, said students should be tracked in large courses such as Expository Writing 20.

“It would help people across all different ability levels,” he said.

Podolsky will join Victoria Sprow ’06 on the committee for overall academic experience.

Sprow said that Harvard should start its own study aboard programs.

And Podolsky said that Harvard should have more of a role in creating study abroad programs with relevant and appropriate curricula.

The committees plan to meet for several “brainstorming sessions” throughout the remainder of the spring term and will meet every other Monday beginning next fall.
