Writing letters of recommendation is one of faculty's most time-consuming responsibilities.

In this Re-Release episode of Beyond Teaching, we share best practices for writing stronger, more effective letters: what to ask students to provide, how to stay organized, when to say no, and what makes a letter truly stand out.

Plus: tips for students on who to ask, how much notice to give, and why a thank-you goes a long way.

We hope you enjoy this episode!
