Letter of Rec's -- Signatures?

[policywonk64]

Hey --

For letter's of rec, do the authors need to sign the letter if they're submitting the rec electronically? Or can they just sign it with their typed name?

One of my recommenders is asking -- if he has to actually sign it, he has to go find a scanner and figure out how to use technology. Haha.

I'm pretty sure what your recommender will have to do is exactly the same as what you do on the application itself--sign it by typing your full name.
