the original thread was here：http://chronicle.com/forums/index.php/topic,84320.0.html it was about one week ago ，we learned some words in one threads of moderator little orange ：Do you know how to say纠结？http://muchong.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=3938901&fpage=1 the next essay refer to the word “torn”. and there is a question for you：do you know how to translate “and less than a year removed from defending” in this essay？  I'm an adjunct, in my second year of teaching, and less than a year removed from defending. In one of the classes I teach this semester, a student approached me asking for a reference letter. It isn't for anything like law, medical, or graduate school; it is just for an exchange program my university has. I told her then that I couldn't say yes or no yet—the term paper for the course, another significant assignment, and the final exam, were still to come. I received her final assignment this week, and graded it last night. It's not great. It's not awful—I've seen worse—but in the high C / low B range a grade that, looking back on the semester, is fairy consistent for her. I'm now wondering what to do about her request for a reference letter. I told her initially to contact me again after the class was over and I would be better able to judge. Right now, the fact is, she's just not a stand-out student. She's a nice enough person, and attends class diligently, but her assignments just aren't great. Nor did she spend a lot of time talking to me during office hours or anything like that about how to get better. So, I'm a bit wary of giving her a strong reference letter. Nevertheless, it is just an exchange program and for all I know it might be an experience that really helps her grow as a student. I don't know if I want to deny her that opportunity. Any advice? I've been asked for a couple of reference letters before, and—after pointing out to the students that because I'm just an adjunct my letter might not mean much to some evaluating committees—I have been happy to provide them. But, so far only students who are doing quite well in my class have bothered to ask. This is the first time I've really considered saying no, but I'm still torn. |
