<p>What is this instructor evaluation? Is this where the letter of recommendation should be written? Can a separate printed paper be attached with it instead of the given space, and I am guessing, this form will be mailed along with other school forms?</p>
<p>Thank you for answering!</p>
<p>You mean the Common App Teacher Evaluation form: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2013/2013TeacherEval1_download.pdf[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2013/2013TeacherEval1_download.pdf</a></p>
<p>Your teachers can fill this form out and send it in, or you can invite teachers to use the on-line form. Once invited, they log-in here: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/SchoolFormsFAQ.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/SchoolFormsFAQ.aspx</a></p>
<p>So is that what they call the letters of recommendation?</p>
<p>Yes. Your teachers submit the Common App Teacher Evaluation form and attach the recommendation letter to the form. They then send the form and letter to each college you are applying to. Or, if they opt to fill the form out electronically, they can upload the letter as a separate document. (Watch the teacher demo video on the link above.)</p>
<p>MIT has a great website for what they are looking for from teacher recommendations: <a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/writingrecs[/url]”>http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/writingrecs</a></p>
<p>If it is the letters of recommendation, so I answer some part of it online, print it out, let my teacher fill the remaining in print? Add extra papers for recommendation, and I mail this?</p>
<p>Are all downloadable supplements and forms meant to be sent via mail and not scanned after filled out, attached in the common application? Things like this confuse me so much, so any or all input is very much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>No. It’s really not that hard if you read the directions. Read the Teacher Recommendations instructions on page 2: <a href=“http://mycollegestreet.com/Newsletters/CommonAppSpecialEdition1.pdf[/url]”>http://mycollegestreet.com/Newsletters/CommonAppSpecialEdition1.pdf</a>. These instructions are for when your teachers mail in the form.</p>
<p>Thanks Gibby for all the support. What I meant was that the common application automatically fills out the student part in the teacher evaluation, so I can print it out; send it to my teacher, have her attach a letter of recommendation. (Point 1)This is right, Gibby?</p>
<p>The link you gave me impresses that I could give my teacher a number of copies of teacher evaluation (TE), and then she can reproduce(scan and re/print) her letter of recommendation, attach one for each TE. (Point 2)again, is this right, Gibby? Should she sign one originally, other copies of the letter just have it scanned, or should all be originally signed? Or none should be signed at all? Any remarks that should be mentioned in each letter, personally about me that my teacher should know?(address, age etc.)</p>
<p>When you had yours sent, TE+recommendation, you had them flat in an envelope or both folded? (Please do not hate me on this).</p>
<p>Thank you so much for all the support, Gibby!</p>
<p>Four years ago, here’s what my daughter did. She applied to 11 colleges and printed out 22 copies of the Teacher Evaluation form and hand-filled out the top. (Now, you can fill out the top on the computer and print it out – which is fine.) She addressed and stamped twenty-two (22) 9 X 12 manilla envelopes and gave each teacher a package of 11 envelopes and 11 forms. The teachers filled out the forms, attached their letter and sent them off. In hindsight, it would have been easier giving the teacher one form and having them copy the form 11 times, but YES YOU CAN DO THAT!</p>
<p>Two years ago, my son sent both his teachers an email and invited them to complete the teacher evaluation form on-line. The teachers agreed to do so and filled out the form once, which was then electronically sent to all the colleges he was applying to. Therefore, my son did not give his teachers any envelopes or forms; he saved time, envelopes, stamps and trees – and saved his teacher the time, hassle and expense of copying their recommendation letter, stuffing the envelopes, licking all the envelopes and sending them off! It really is easier and faster for both the student and teacher to do everything electronically – especially as some teachers are writing anywhere from recommendation letters for 10 to 20 students !</p>
<p>YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY! Or, have one teacher fill out the form electronically and the other send the forms in by mail. </p>
<p>It’s really not as complicated as you are making it.</p>
<p>Amazing post, Gibby! Perhaps I can link that to others who ponder the same thing.</p>
<p>Indeed, it would mean additional expense for my teachers sending them off by mail. But I have no choice, but the mail process. My plan is that they finish the TE, attach the recommendation, have it in the envelopes, and I’ll get it again from them. I will be the one to mail them, so they don’t have to assess the fee and all the hassle.</p>
<p>hey i just wanted to ask…if the instructor should attach the word file of LOR or it should be the scanned copy of the LOR which I have received?</p>
<p>I have a problem regarding the instructor evaluation. I am applying to 9 universities, 5 of which requires a common application instructor’s evaluation. Since I am studying overseas, my teachers have to mail my evaluation. I filled my section and gave my teacher one copy. She said she would fill her part up by hand, make photocopies and sign each photocopy. She send off my photocopies of the evaluation a few days ago. However, I found out that none of the photocopies have her original signature. In other words, all of the evaluations have photocopies of her signature. Do you think that will be a problem?</p>
<p>That’s not a problem, as many teachers also do the same thing.</p>
<p>I really didn’t expect such a quick reply. Thank you!</p>
