<p>So I printed one of those teacher evaluation forms from the Common App website and gave it to a teacher. Is the evaluation the same thing as the recommendation? In other words, is the teacher supposed to include a recommendation with the evaluation, or is the evaluation enough by itself? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm kind of confused right now and I need to tell my teacher whether or not I need him to type a letter of rec.</p>
<p>Also, I may end up sending the same teacher evaluation to multiple schools. Would it look bad/informal if I make copies? Or should I have my teacher make multiple drafts of the evaluation?</p>
<p>There is a part for a recommendation on the common app evaluation form. It says the teacher can either write directly on or attach a separate sheet–the latter is better. And it’s totally fine to make copies of one recommendation for multiple schools.</p>
<p>Just make sure the recommendation isn’t specified for one school, i.e. “I think X would be a great addition to the Notre Dame family.” If that’s the case, just ask your teacher to edit a bit.</p>
<p>Well, I was talking about copying the evaluations, which are hand-written. I know it’s ok to make copies of the typed recs, most people do that. But thanks for the replies, I’ll have my teacher type a recommendation with the evaluation.</p>
