Colleges and universities prefer that teachers speak only to those areas of a student’s life with which they’ve had direct contact. Your thoughtful responses to the following questions will assist me in writing a stronger recommendation.

1. List the class(es) you have had with me. Which one was your favorite? Explain why.

2. Describe the most important concept you learned in that class.

3. What project or activity did you especially enjoy? Describe it.

4. Describe a class session that stands out in your mind (a discussion in which you really made yourself heard? A discussion that made you re-evaluate your assumptions)?

5. What are your strengths as a student?

6. What are your weaknesses as a student? Where are you still growing?

7. How were you able to contribute to the success of the class as well as individual success? (Consider, for example, class participation, independent exploration of topics, leadership and collaboration in class, etc.)

8. What is one/some challenge(s) that you faced here at Calvert Hall? How have you overcome them? How have they shaped you to who you are today?

9. What major are you thinking of pursuing? What are your academic interests/strengths?

10. Is there something that you would like me to emphasize in my recommendation?
