Thanks, Sarah. I think that's an important thing to keep in mind.
I'm not going to go into too much detail about the nature of this
student's case, but I think I've already covered your concern by having
given her feedback repeatedly while she was still an undergraduate here. She
has had quite a bit of opportunity to discuss faculty perceptions of her
work, and chose not to hear those perceptions. I was quite surprised to get
a letter from her requesting a recommendation, in light of the significant
discussions we'd already had about her work.
