To admission committee,
I am very pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Ms.Pooja. She has been
a student in the Programming C, C++,DBMS classes in CS program at University of
Pune. As Head and professor of Computer Science Department at University of
Pune, I work with many students who have substantial knowledge of Computer
Science. Each year I notice that only a few outstanding students offer a unique
perspective and really embrace their learning of the subject matter. Ms.Pooja has
consistently shown such a strong desire to learn that I simply could not turn down
her request for recommendation.
She is an exceptional student with excellent grades resulting from diligent work
habits. At numerous occasions, she would contact me after class and try to
understand logics behind various programming. Also, she contributed astutely to
class-room discussions that proved her intellectual might.
With deep questioning mind, task orientation and pragmatic thinking, her
motivation stood out amongst her peer students. She asked most penetrating
questions about the subject being discussed and explicated her ideas with effortless
impromptu grace. During discussion of case studies, she was highly effectual in
applying the course material in analyzing the problem situations. She explained her
views very concisely and gave analytical arguments that were both clear and
persuasive.
She evinced oral articulateness in the discussion sections of case studies that were
an integral part of the Computer Science course. Students were required to analyze
problematic situations, and to develop and argue their own views with regard to the
issue in question.
She displayed good leadership skills when involved in group projects. During several
team case studies, she took charge of the team. She was aware of strengths and
limitations of her team members and assigned task accordingly. She achieved
highest grade for the case and were commended for her depth of analysis as a
team. She is very well liked and respected by both peers and her professors.
Ms.Pooja continues to impress me with her knowledge, skill and dedication to her
work. Im sure you will find her to be a student whose talents will only shine further
through your graduate program. It is my sincere hope that you will accept her
application to your university with full financial assistance. Please feel free to
contact me if you require further information.
Yours truly,
Dr. Swapna Pai
Head of Department, Computer Science
