Lookback: After student's request to see letter

“Agreed to write recommendation letter for a student”

Student didn't waive right to see letter, making me question how to handle it

What I wish I knew
"More about university policies on waiver requests"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be clear with students about potential implications of not waiving letter rights"
