What about the situation when professor asks you to write the letter yourself and he will sign it later? Is it a common case in the academic world?
Another case: when it's been a several years after you last contacted your professor or adviser. I would feel somewhat uncomfortable to ask for a letter of recommendation.
- mattmight 15y agoWriting your own letter happens, but usually in academia, the prof will request a .txt file to modify/strip the adverbs. If it's been a few years, update the prof on things you've done since then, how what you learned in their course helped in your job, etc.
