A good letter of recommendation should highlight a student’s love for learning, their passion for their field of study and not just how cooperative they are in class. A common mistake recommenders make is to use a lot of adjectives, without providing many supporting examples. It’s critical that your recommender provide examples of events that make you the superstar you are. For instance, your recommender should feel free to write about any incident that may seem to negate your patience in class, as long as it highlights your inquisition.
