About recommendation letter requests

Basic requirements:
(1) that I know who you are,
(2) an explanation that is program you apply for,
(3) I need to have a good impression of your abilities.

If you have A/A- in my class, then if I have time I will write it. If your grade is B+/B/B-, email me what you are applying for, and why you ask me for recommendation. But usually it should work too.

Please try avoid last day emails about recommendations even if you were the best student in a class.
