Does anyone know what questions they ask teachers on the common app recommendations
Pretty basic stuff:
I’m doing this from memory, so it wont’ be ver batim.I filled them out about a week ago.
- how long have you known the student ? What courses have you taught him/her?
- How would you rate the student on the following areas:
and then there’s a checklist-- every thing from “independent thought” to “ability to react well to setbacks” and a bunch of others. The choices are along the lines of “not good, good, excellent, top 5%, among the best I’ve ever taught.”
^^ Oops, forgot: That’s in addition to the letter of recommendation we write. That one has no “questions” at all-- we can write whatever we think is important.
