Dear Prof. Frates:

It is my great pleasure to write you this letter of commendation for your distinguished teaching performance in the Harvard Extension School.

As you know, Extension students evaluate their instructors at the end of each term, ranking them on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high). We are delighted to recognize those Extension School faculty members whose ratings placed them among the top-rated instructors, based on the size of the course. In courses with 10 or more students and a return rate of at least 50%, your instructor rating in PSYC E-1007 placed you in the top 20% of instructors.

Quality teaching by engaged faculty is a value that has helped the Extension School and its students flourish for over 100 years. Thank you for your contribution to our students’ successes.

On behalf of the Harvard Extension School, I extend our sincere appreciation for your exemplary teaching achievement.

With personal congratulations and best wishes,
