| Aug 20, 2019 at 15:02 | comment | added | Dan Romik | @user111955 there is no obligation to write a letter for any specific student who asks for one. But generally speaking, writing letters is part of a professor’s job. | |

| Aug 20, 2019 at 14:27 | comment | added | Dan Romik | @user111955 yes, in the US, and all other countries whose academic norms I’m familiar with, it‘s seen as part of a professor’s job. I can’t vouch for this being true everywhere, or for all professors being equally conscientious about taking this duty seriously. | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 14:07 | comment | added | user111955 | Does a professor's job generally include writing such letters? I believe I have read in this forum that it does not and also that one prof has a policity not to write letters for applications into the US. | |
