Dear students: 

I am so excited about this listserv! I am not sure how it works but 
hopefully we will be up and running very shortly.

I recently sent a letter to all science faculty asking that, whenever 
possible, for all students with a "B-" or better grade, they write a 
narrative report on the back of the evaluation form.  We will no longer 
ask you to submit evaluations from courses that you have received a grade 
of "C" or worse.  This will take some of the burden off of you and the 
faculty!  

However, this will require MORE from you in another way.  Every time you 
submit a request for an evaluation you MUST attach a copy of your 
transcript and a resume.  The faculty cannot be expected to write a 
narrative about a student they do not know so you will be responsible for 
giving them information to make this task possible. 

You should also ALWAYS make this request as soon as your course is 
finished and IN PERSON.  

If you do not have a resume you can get help in constructing one with 
career services.  If you have already prepared your personal statement for 
your file you may wish to include this as well.  

I know this seems like a great deal of work but I am trying to make sure 
that you have the EXCEPTIONAL, rather than, ordinary letter of 
recommendation for your health professions applications.  I think these 
changes will give YOU the best letter we can produce on your behalf.  

Your comments and concerns are welcome. Ms. Wood-Hill
