Dear Dr. Lastname:


I have worked with Bill Rosener for the past three years in the Department of Management Information Systems at Northeastern State University. During this time, we have interacted on a daily basis and have worked together on several projects. Whether doing research or teaching in the classroom, he is always very professional, courteous, dependable, and helpful. Bill has excellent interpersonal skills and is highly motivated. He continually seeks opportunities to learn new skills and enhance his existing abilities.

When it comes to research, Bill has the capacity to carry out original research and publish his findings. This is evident by his numerous publications and grants that he has received in the past few years. When it comes to teaching, Bill is widely read and intellectually engaged in both the information systems and computer science fields. He not only knows the subject matter, but also understands and uses the most effective teaching methodologies available. This includes the development of new teaching materials, new methods of instruction, and the development of techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. During my interactions with him, I have found Bill to be very knowledgeable, hardworking, and he consistently has demonstrated enthusiasm and professionalism when helping other people. Teaching is something that Bill does exceptionally well. He is patient, dedicated, and conscientious about his teaching. He knows how to quickly determine what students know, what they want to learn, and how to get them to achieve at a high level.

Overall, I have found working with Bill to be both pleasant and instructive. He is exceptionally intelligent, articulate, and capable. I highly recommend him for consideration for a faculty position within your department. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information or an expanded recommendation.

Sincerely,


Firstname Lastname
