^^Actually I know several STEM profs who teach undergrads (and often large lecture classes) and the above is exactly how they do it.

While not a personalize extolment of the student’s virtues, it’s enough to get the job done for adcomms.



Are these considered “strong letters,” though? A few of the professors that I plan on asking for LORs know me well due to smaller honors courses, but I doubt I could say the same thing for my genetics professor, who only knows me in the context of office hours and exam results.
