<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I know this one teacher really well and I know that she would give me a terrific rec, but the problem is that her handwriting is illegible... Should I still ask her for a rec or ask her to type it?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Kevin</p>
<p>Normally teachers type their letters of recommendation. Don’t worry about this one.</p>
<p>Agreed. It would never enter a teacher’s mind not to use a computer for this task.</p>
<p>What you may not appreciate is that the teacher is hardly going to enter any information directly onto the form. If she does the recommendation online, she’ll type a few responses into the blanks, write the letter in Word, and then copy and paste it into the recommendation form. If she does the recommendation on paper, she’ll complete a few fill-in-the-blank items by hand, but she’ll still write the letter in Word, and then she’ll attach a copy to the form.</p>
<p>Okay. Thanks guys!</p>
