sky_blue2000 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 One of my professors let me read the LOR that he wrote for me, actually he insisted I read it...although the letter was AMAZING, like better than I could have ever expected, he signed it as "Dr. John Doe, Senior lecturer". I've never seen that Before and don't really know what it means. He is the professor for our class, but now I'm thinking that maybe he doesn't have a phd, but he said "Dr."?? Any help? How should I address it if particular schools ask about it? I have 4 LORs from professors, 2 have tenure, 1 contract-faculty professor, and the professor mentioned above...but this professor is also one of my science LORs and I don't have another professor I can ask. Is this something I could get away with? Btw, the other science LOR writer had tenure...if that would make the situation better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Not all PhDs end up in tenure-track professor positions. Many have teaching appointments with the job title of lecturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh! So it's ok that he signed as such? I was just worried that he didn't actually that he's phd or the course director or anything like that...

Lactic Folly Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Well, did he explain in the letter that he was the professor who taught your course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_blue2000 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Well, did he explain in the letter that he was the professor who taught your course? Yes, he said "in my course" and that he observed me after class and during tutorials interacting with others (so it follows that he lectured it).

keith_015 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Should be no problem. I instructed my writers to specify what they do at the University and/or college. They don't have to be PhD either. As long as they taught you and can speak from personal experience. Just don't get a TA and you should be fine.
