I am familiar with Stanford’s PhD program and I believe this candidate will place in the upper third of her class at Stanford, based on her performance in my class(简单交代了推荐人本人对于申请者所要申请的program的了解情况，以及评价申请人将来可以在这所大学可以获得的学术成就). In that class, we covered chapters 7 through 20 of Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green, with weekly problem sets and two examinations(课程教学的范畴-- MWG的《微观经济理论》的第七章到第二十章，以及该课程的考核形式).She scored second in a class of 11(申请人在班级的成绩排名). She was an enthusiastic participant in class and took part in insightful conversations in office hours(除了成绩优异外，申请人的其他表现). Though not a native speaker, her English skills are excellent(申请人的英语能力). I have taken her on as adviser of her undergraduate thesis(推荐人同时也是本科毕业论文导师). My department is recommending three candidates to Stanford this year. According to our consensus, she is just below the top one and well ahead of the third.(系里其他学生被推荐到斯坦福大学的情况以及该申请人与他们的对比)”
3、直观地展示了课程的教学内容以及含金量：推荐人在说学生所学的那门课程的时候，引用了MWG的 《微观经济理论》(MWG即是Andreu Mas-Colell, Michael D. Whinston, Jerry R. Green三位教授，他们所写的Microeconomic Theory被推崇为高级微观经济学第一牛书，也是哈佛大学、MIT等牛校的研究生教材)。这让学校能够更直接地理解这门微观经济课程的水平。
“I strongly recommend the candidate for graduate study. I employed him for two years as an RA at the Folsom Research Institute. He is a diligent worker—one of the best RAs I have ever had(最好的RA----但是通篇却没有看到相关的依据). He willingly spent hours of overtime coding my analysis of the Survey of Income Program Participants(愿意加班加点来完成任务----想表达学生很勤奋?但是其中是否只是由于ta效率太低). He is a thoroughly pleasant person to work with(容易相处----这个优点对于申请斯坦福大学经济PhD来说并不算是亮点). He should be a success in any line of work he pursues in the future.(可以在未来任何工作中都取得成功---难不成这个申请者是个神?)”
