Hello Physicsforums,
I've been reading here for a while and like this forum a lot. For the following issue I couldn't find a suitable thread so I decided to register and ask my first question: I'm about to apply for grad school, for which I need academic references. I talked to the two academics in my department that I believe know me best. They were willing to provide recommendation letters, but suggested I should write the prototype. Now is this a common practice?
-If so, I'm not familiar with form and content standards of good reference letters, so maybe someone knows about this or has some resources to link me to?
-If it's actually not common practice, would you recommend considering other persons to ask for letters?
Your thoughts on this would help me a lot!
Best regards
