To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to give my full endorsement and recommendation of Rachel

Solomon to the undergraduate Education Program at the University of
Maryland. I had Ms. Solomon in my EDPS 210 course. She can easily be
considered one of the best students. She was an engaging and dedicated
student with excellent communication skills. I am certain that she will be
able excel. Please give her the opportunity to work and learn in your
program.
In class I require extensive class participation and writing assignments. Ms.
Solomon consistently turned in all assignments on time; completed with
thorough summaries of the material and insightful analysis. This requires her
to digest complex and technical primary source reading assignments and
apply the material to her interests.
Ms. Solomon spoke up often in class with questions and comments. She
always came to class prepared and ready to share her comments and learn
from others. Ms. Solomon made class a better learning environment. She
also was a valuable participant in group activities. When asked to do
impromptu group presentations Ms. Solomon was a leader in organizing
other students and helping everyone to be able to participate. She brought
out the talents of others by initiating discussions with them and helping
everyone in her group to understand difficult concepts.
As I have gotten to know Ms. Solomon I have learned that she has a wide
variety of interests and activities. She is involved in service, teaching, sport
and professional development activities. Ms. Solomon seems the ideal
individual to contribute to and learn from the Education Program. Please give
her the chance to forward her academic goals.
Sincerely,
Adjunct Instructor UMD
