As a faculty member, I take the responsibility of writing letters of recommendation seriously. To ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the letters I write, I adhere to the following guidelines:
• I will only write a letter of recommendation when I am confident I can provide a strong endorsement for the student based on their academic performance, engagement, and potential.
• Students must have achieved a minimum grade of A- or higher in my class(es) to be considered for a letter of recommendation.
• I do not write letters for students who are currently taking a class with me (if they have not taken any other class before) and the semester has not yet concluded.
• In general, I only write letters for students who have taken more than one class with me. Exceptions will only be made under rare circumstances.
• I do not write letters of recommendation if the initial request is less than two weeks prior to the earliest deadline.

Please provide the following information when requesting a letter of recommendation:
• The purpose of the recommendation letter (e.g., program details, job description).
• A complete list of deadlines and submission instructions.
• A current resume or CV.
• A brief description of how my class or interaction with them is relevant to their application.

The initial request must be at least two weeks before the earliest deadline. Otherwise I will not be able to write a letter.

Please make sure you send me a reminder two days before each deadline.
