For Students

Directions for Letters of Recommendation

I am delighted to serve as a letter-writer for outstanding students who I have taught in class. “Outstanding” does not necessarily mean students who received an A. Make sure you have good attendance and participation in my class, treat me and other students with respect, and put forth a good effort on all assignments. Academic integrity and professionalism are of the utmost importance to me. I will not write a letter for someone who falls short on these!

  • Keep in mind that writing a good letter is a time-consuming endeavor. To ensure that your letters get submitted on time, please note the following:

  • Please add the tag [SDREF] to the subject line of your email requesting a letter or reference. Otherwise, I may ignore your email.

  • You will have to send me relevant materials, such as your CV and statement of purpose.

  • I will also ask you to send me an organized list of the programs or jobs to which you are applying, including due dates and contact information. Even submitting one letter takes upwards of 30 minutes, so consider carefully before changing this list!

  • To help me write your letter, you must send me a 1-2 page document explaining why I would be a good letter-writer for you. Please detail how you contributed to my class, what you learned from me, and why you think the material you learned in my class will be useful for your future endeavors.

  • Graduate programs often request that letter-writers comment upon your writing skills. This document will help me to better incorporate an assessment of your writing skills in my letter.

If I write you a letter, I will have invested a considerable amount of effort in your success. I am very interested to hear the outcome of your applications and am looking forward to updates! Best wishes!
