Generally speaking, I will write a letter of recommendation for an internship, scholarship or job only after a student has completed at least one course with me with a grade of at least a B. If you meet that condition, please make sure that your request for a letter includes the following: a list of the courses you took with me, what dates you took them, and what grades you received; a description of the internship, scholarship or job; the date the position begins; a current copy of your resume; your current GPA; and the deadline for the letter. E-mail your request to me with the subject line "Request for letter of recommendation." Please note that I need at least 10 days to guarantee I will be able to deliver a letter. Interested in an independent study? You'll need to start with a detailed proposal; here is an example. Most proposals run two to five pages. Once I approve it, you'll have to fill out this form. The final project is an original research report of 25 to 30 pages. Here's an example. Getting ready to look for a job? Spend some time thinking about this list of 50 common interview questions, and you'll increase your odds of landing the job.
