Are letters of recommendation a waste of time?
Consider Jessica Wolfe’s argument at ethosreview.org (http://www.ethosreview.org/forum-intellectual-spaces-2/scattered-leaves-or-are-recommendation-letters-a-waste-of-time/)-

HEP Community Colleges on MLA Commons 12 years, 3 months agoHi all,
Looks like our membership is growing—this is very exciting!
I’m still learning MLA Commons, but it looks like only administrators have access to the Announcements page. If you want to share information, please post it to the blog or email me and I can post it to the Announcements page (sdonohue at cocc dot edu).Stacey
