历史专业教授推荐信
我与河南许昌高中学生卢虹宁交往有一年多的时间。2006年我在南京大学在职攻读中国近现代史博士学位,研究方向是民国军事史,导师张宪文教授叫我回答卢虹宁提出的一些问题,回复他图文并茂、质疑中学历史教科书的信件,因此结识了这个奇特的中学生。我们曾通过多次电话和信件,2007年暑假卢虹宁来南京查资料,住在南京大学。白天我们都在中国第二历史档案馆查档案,晚上常促膝谈心,成为忘年交的朋友。我对卢虹宁的印象和评价,最突出的有几点:
一、他对历史学科的热爱,达到痴迷的程度,当今十分罕见。如今的青少年,受高考的压力,几乎成了机械人,无所谓爱好和专长;许多人到了高考填志愿时,尚拿不准自己到底喜欢什么专业、适合什么专业;而卢虹宁早就方向明确,兴趣稳定,克服一切困难,沿着自己选择的路坚定地走下去,十分难得。而且,在当今史学清贫造成史学危机的情况下,他选择这个很难产生经济效益的专业,说明他确实是出于对历史科学的热爱,而不带任何功利心,这更为可贵。
二、卢虹宁勤于思考,勇于质疑,敢于挑战,具有敏锐眼光和创新意识,是个可造就之材。如他在给我的信和面谈时讲自己对忠义救国军的评价和认识,有几次变化和反复,给我留下了深刻的印象。这个问题是我博士论文的研究范围,因此我看过一些档案和相关材料,有自己的看法。卢虹宁虽然搜集了不少资料,但毕竟极少看到原始材料,接触的范围和眼界有限,可他的基本观点我却完全赞成。反映出他具有分析问题的能力和良好素质,即便是硕士生、博士生,也不一定具备这种素质和能力,他应是一个值得培养的好苗子。
三、卢虹宁搜集资料,阅读消化资料,撰写科研论文等方面的能力,已达到大学高年级学生水平。他在许昌一隅之地,广交全国长辈和朋友,搜集到许多研究资料,其搜集资料的能力高于一般的大学生。他已经发表了一些文章,这也强过很多一二年级的大学生。说明卢虹宁具备从事历史学习和研究的基本能力。如他能进入大学历史系继续学习,开阔眼界,接受严格系统的学术训练,提高理论水平,在读期间可望成为能为校争光的出色大学生。
四、卢虹宁热爱学习,勤奋钻研,不怕困难,吃苦耐劳的精神十分突出。2008年暑假,他冒酷暑从相对凉爽的许昌,只身来到火炉城南京搜集资料。因不适应炎热的天气,居住条件又差,长了一身痱子。他毫不在意,依旧每天早出晚归,四处奔波,搜集资料,求教求学。在经济条件不宽裕的情况下,他省吃俭用,购买了一批图书资料,又舍不得花钱邮寄回去。离开南京时,年少身单的他,提着几个塞满了书籍的沉重箱包,三步一歇地走上火车。其吃苦耐劳的精神远超过一般的同龄人。
五、卢虹宁乐于助人,不保守,重承诺,守信用,显示出良好的职业道德。来南京前后,他对我托办的事,件件落实,迅速利索,办事效率很高。他与我之间交流资料,毫不保守。他热心助人,诚实守信的为人处世态度令人称道,是个能与人合作、具有团队意识的人。
六、卢虹宁也有弱点。例如,他自己承认有点偏科,数学和英语成绩不太理想。但人无完人,他既然在历史研究方面作出了远远超过一般中学生的成绩,在时间、精力、兴趣等各方面当然要付出一定代价,对他恐不应求全要求。他还年轻,若能进入大学深造,以他的勤奋精神、坚强毅力和学习能力,学完规定的各门课程,修满学分,顺利毕业,当无困难。还可以填空补缺,完善知识结构,成为全面发展、更加优秀的人才。
总而言之,卢虹宁同学爱好和钻研历史,在中学生中十分难得。我们国家非常需要这种具有献身精神的年轻人,应当爱护、保护和帮助他们。他如能进入大学历史系深造,将来有可能成为历史学的出色人才。如果高考落榜丧失了正规学习历史的机会,对他个人和我们历史学界,都是一件十分可惜的事情。我衷心希望河南大学能够破格录取他,特此慎重推荐。
第二篇:药理学教授专业英文推荐信
i am very glad to recommend xxx who was an active and excellent student of mine, to your europubhealth - european public health master program which will greatly improve her specialization skills and broaden her vision. in my impression, xxx is a very studious and serious student, and has built a firm academic foundation for her graduate study. i do believe under the instruction of the prestigious professors of your university, miss xxx will make more progress and academic achievements.
i have known miss xxx for almost three years since she took my course pharmacology. her comments showed great power in grasping fundamental theories of the subject, such as pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and applying them creatively. through my talking with her, i noted that she paid attention to overall view rather than minor details and she has sound background knowledge in the subject through additional reading. for example, i often met her in the library reviewing the latest publications from international periodicals. i think these distinguished her from others. she also exhibited a keenly whetted mind during class discussions. to my regret at the time, her english was not as good as her chemistry or biology. but i noticed she made a point of working especially hard in improving her english during her five undergraduate years with us. by now, she seems to be better in english than most of his former classmates in the class.
in my association with her, i find mr. xxx a sincere and honest young man. she always shares his views with his classmates and is available to listen to other people’s ideas. and she always helps the person who is in troubles. and she is very independent. and she has a pleasant personality, so she has many friends. she is serious while studying and active while playing. in my extra-curricular activities, she assumed a leading role. i was really impressed with not only his extraordinary intelligence but also his ambitions and persistence. but there was one thing she needed to improve which was that she sometimes focused on the perfect of the experiment too much and as a result she neglected the feasibility of the experiment. but i think with the accumulation of her experience, she will surely overcome this deficiency.
above all, i do believe miss xxx is competent for the further study of your master program because of her enthusiasm, passion, and seriousness towards study and her desire to improve herself in the pursuit of advanced knowledge. your favorable consideration of her application will be highly appreciated.
sincerely,
xxx
