Letters of recommendations

Do you need a letter of recommendation in support of your application for admission to a graduate school?

• If you have, or had, been a student of mine, then you can certainly ask me for a letter of recommendation, and I will definitely provide your university with my recommendation based on my understanding of your Intellectual Capacity, Skill at Research, Academic Preparation, Originality, and Overall Ability. However, my recommendation may not be useful for you, unless,
  
  • For B.Sc. student applying for M.Sc. Program,
    1. You have completed with me, at least, 4 courses, including Automata Theory, Software Engineering, and Research Methodology, with outstanding grades.
    2. You have completed your B.Sc. Project under my supervision with outstanding grade.
  • For M.Sc. student applying for Ph.D. Program,
    1. You have completed your M.Sc. Thesis under my supervision with outstanding grade.
    2. You have presented two research papers in two reputable conferences, or alternatively and preferably, published one research paper in a reputable Journal.
• If this is the case with you, then I will gladly write your recommendation letter. Just send me an email, reminding me of all about the courses, projects, and academic activities you had with me.  Don't forget to remind me of the full title of your B.Sc. Project or M.Sc. Thesis, whichever applicable. And,
  
  • If your university provides specific forms, on which the recommendation letters to be written, then fill up your section of the form, sign, and drop it in my office, including an addressed envelope. I will make it ready for you in the envelope provided, signed and sealed, in a day or so.
  • If there is no form, and I am to write a letter of my own, then drop an addressed envelope in my office. I will make it ready for you in the envelope provided, signed and sealed, in a day or so.
  • If the university has an online admission system, then you may be required to provide only the names and addresses of those you have asked for the recommendation letters, in which case, state it in your email, and I'll do the rest.
• Otherwise, I suggest you ask someone, with whom you have worked more closely, and who has better understanding of your abilities, to write your letters of recommendations.

Good Luck
