<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I just had a really quick question. Do you think that it would be too forward and bad if I made a sheet of personal qualities to give to my teacher when requesting a letter of recommendation? On this sheet, I plan to write like "I'm hardworking" and then kinda explain what i mean and list a few examples relevant to the class in which I demonstrated those traits.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? To do or not to do?</p>
<p>well it isnt going on to colleges, so i dont think it would be bad, asking a rec letter this late?
tsk tsk tsk</p>
<p>I'd say if you think your teacher will write a good rec, he/she should be able to write on your classroom experiences/participation. If you think your teacher doesn't know you well, then you should do it.</p>
<p>Hahah yeah I know that it's really late to be asking them, but ahhh, I'm a noob at applying to colleges. ):</p>
<p>haha I included like classroom experiences kinda on the sheet. They could use it for reference I guess. -.-</p>
<p>I don't think it's a good idea as it's up to your teacher, not you, to assess your personal qualities.</p>
<p>What would be helpful would be for you to give your teacher copies of any excellent tests or papers that you wrote for the teacher's class. Also include a note about your accomplishments in any activities that the teacher advises. Doing these things will help your teacher refer to specifics in her recommendation.</p>
