You might prompt someone that you'd like to ask for a letter in the future so that they A) Can let you know if they'd have a problem with this, so you will know not to count on them, and B) it'll give them a moment to think about it and even take notes so they are more prepared to write the letter in the future. | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 13:57 | comment | added | stoic-santiago | Please correct me if I am wrong, but don't letters of recommendation work the following way - when applying to grad programs/research programs, we request the professor to write us a letter, and they send it directly to the concerned authorities? I'm very unsure. What purpose would asking for a letter now fulfill? Can I reproduce the same letter later when applying to places? Thank you. | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 3:57 | comment | added | stoic-santiago | I feel somewhat stupid now. I never discussed the possibility of a letter of recommendation with the professor. Is it implicit, or does it have to be discussed? Moreover, I just asked them "how do I put this on my CV" since that never came up earlier. Is it too late to ask for a letter? @AndreasBlass | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 3:55 | comment | added | Andreas Blass | More important than putting the reading course on your CV would be getting a letter of recommendation from the professor, describing what you material studied and your work on the solutions manual. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 3:51 | comment | added | stoic-santiago | I think a formal curriculum vitae. Basically the CV they ask for when undergrads apply to research programs, graduate programs, etc. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 3:48 | comment | added | nick012000 | By "cv" do you mean a resume, or a formal curriculum vitae like the ones used by academics? The word "cv" means different things in different places. | |
