<p>My teacher offered to write me a recommendation to college, and he said that I had to send him a “self reflection” in the form of an email. All he said was to describe my strengths and weaknesses in the class.</p>
<p>My question is, how detailed/long should it be - he’s using it to write my rec. so it’s pretty important that I do a good job on it. I have one written out already, its pretty brief, two short paragraphs that in total take up half a page. Should I make it longer? I explained three strengths, which I believed made it possible for me to get a 5 on the WHAP exam, but two weaknesses, which prevented me from doing better on his class tests. Is that good enough?</p>
