<p>How do i go about this because I'm trying to do an internal transfer come October 1st -- appx. I know I've got to do this ahead of time...but I mean like HOW? What should I say? Email, in person, phone call?? </p>
<p>I got an A+ in the class and I know he knows my name. </p>
<p>Thanks for any help in advance!</p>
<p>Oh and should I wait before or after the letter to add him on fb? </p>
<p>Totally weird, I know lol but I mean to anyways, he’s really awesome!</p>
<p>And I just learned today theres no such thing as an A+ haha. I guess its an A then!</p>
<p>Although it’s not possible to enter an A+ grade, some professors will consider anything over a 97 (if it’s uncurved) or something else an A+, for the purpose of recommendation letters and such to employers or non-educational people. It does make you look a little better, since non +/- schools can have an “A” at 89.5, whereas here that’s actually a B+ or an A-.</p>
<p>Just ask. And be specific why you want the recommendation letter. I gave my profs a letter of recommendation and a resume about me so they know what to write about you in the letter. </p>
<p>Also, you can ask your advisor in your major’s department to write one.</p>
<p>And professors like to know an “update” for the recommendation letter. i.e. whether you got into the program you desired or the school you want for graduate/undergrad school.
Write/email them a thank you letter afterwards.</p>
<p>Okay. I’m applying for an internal transfer to the College of Fine Arts and they ask that we get a letter of recommendation from their own dept. preferably so I should be good - the class was intro to theatre.</p>
<p>I don’t think you should add him on facebook. That’s just weird. You should call him and personally ask him for a letter. Then send an email with the relevant information (CV, the form if applicable)</p>
<p>Send an e-mail asking him if he’d be willing to write a letter. Remind him what class you took from him and what semester. Tell him what program the letter is for, and tell him the deadline (which is preferably at least a month away). Also tell him whether it’s a physical letter that has to be mailed or whether it’s an online submission. Tell him that if he is willing to write the letter, you’d like to drop by to give him your CV and whatever other papers he will need (including a stamped, pre-addressed envelope for mailed letters).</p>
<p>When you drop by, have everything in one stack, preferably in a 9 x 12 envelope with your name, the name of the program, and the due date on it. Tell him why you’re interested in the program and any other information you feel might be useful in helping him write the letter. Some students include transcripts so the teacher can see what else the student has taken, but a CV is a bare minuimum, showing outside interests and activities along with some indication of your academic record at UT and elsewhere.</p>
<p>Don’t Friend him on Facebook. That can feel invasive.</p>
