Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The student should make sure the individual is willing to be a reference and, moreover, is willing to write a positive letter. Looking in the catalog to make sure the name is spelled correctly is relevant but not the first step. Passing a course does not confer the right to use the instructor as a reference. Checking with recent graduates to see which instructor writes the best letters of reference is not an appropriate action.
