LoR for General Chemistry


Zaea

Recommended Posts

I am currently a first year teaching assistant for the General Chemistry classes at my university, and one of my students from last semester has asked me for letters of rec to apply to summer research labs.  I think asking the professor who taught the class would carry much more weight, especially since he's pretty well known.  What do you guys think?  How should I go about this?

I wouldn't write it, especially if it was for a competative position. I had the tendancy, as a young student, to think of everyone I came into contact with in academia as a potential LOR. I would direct him to the professor, assuming he/she did well.

Yeah you are right I think you should direct the student to the professor, and put in a good word for the student if you feel that he/she is deserving!
