Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle writing for a student I don't know well?
Use the template but focus narrowly on specific observable behaviors (class participation, assignment quality, punctuality) rather than character assessments. If you cannot provide specific achievements, it is ethically better to decline writing the letter than to generate vague praise.
Can this prompt generate a 'lukewarm' or negative recommendation?
While you can adjust the tone by modifying the [RANKING] and achievement variables, it is generally unethical to write a negative letter. If you cannot genuinely recommend the student, you should decline the request rather than use this tool to write a subtly critical letter.
How do I make the letter sound like my voice and not AI-generated?
After generation, manually insert 2-3 specific details only you would know: a unique phrase the student uses, a specific conversation you had, or a particular moment you observed them. Also adjust any vocabulary that doesn't match your typical writing style.
