mano Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 do you guys think that getting a letter only for my teaching stuff is important? I an a GTA for the last two years, but the professor for whose class I taught is not from my area or I haven't taken any graduate course from him. thanks.

fuzzylogician Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 You're applying for a PhD in philosophy? If so, then no, it's more important that the letters discuss your research abilities and potential to succeed as a graduate student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not sure though because none of my LoRs are familiar with my teaching abilities...anyway, thanks for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I don't think replacing a strong research LOR with a purely teaching LOR would be wise for a PhD application. If you could submit it as a fourth letter and you think it'd be a good one, you might look into that. Duns Eith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
