Speed up writing personalized student recommendation letters using AI in 5 easy steps.
1. Gather basic details about each student, including their strengths, achievements, and any special qualities you want to highlight. 2. Open ChatGPT and start a new chat. 3. Type a prompt asking AI to draft a recommendation letter using the student’s details, specifying the tone (professional, warm, positive). 4. Review the draft, personalize any parts to reflect your unique knowledge of the student, and make small edits if needed. 5. Copy the final letter into your word processor or email and send it off. This process can cut your letter writing time from 30+ minutes per student to under 10 minutes, freeing up your evening for other tasks.
