Should my recommender include my weaknesses in the LOR?

<p>Although an LOR is an assessment of the recommender who has witnessed your work, skills, and growth, it is better to keep the letter positive. The LOR guidelines recommend highlighting only areas of improvement if they are presented constructively. The focus must be on your positive traits, which can assure the Ad Com about your candidature f or the programme. Instead of mentioning weaknesses, the recommender can include the areas which require scope of improvement. He/she can even mention about the ways you are trying to improve on those areas, demonstrating your ability to take constructive criticism.</p>
