Dear Sir or Madam,
This letter serves as a recommendation for Mr.XXX, for his application to your institute. I am the course instructor of him in two classes, Introduction to Software Engineering as well as Artificial Intelligence.
Mr.XXX did an excellent job in the course assignment of Introduction to Software Engineering. As I ask the students to develop software products in groups, using software engineering developing method to help them to control and manage this project, in order to understand how these methods and tools improve efficiency. He and his group members chose to complete a P2P software, which is determined later as a tool for chatting and file transferring use in the Intranet. It was outstanding among the whole class, most of which were simply all kinds of management system. Before making this decision in the project plan, they carried out a questionnaire survey in our campus as preliminary investigation. Along with codes, they had a full set of document with the whole developing process written down. All the works were well organized using WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) and allotted, which partly thanks to the appropriate structure design done by Mr.X. He is the main designer of the P2P software. To analyze and design the structure and data flow, he spent a week to finish and rectify the DFDs(Data Flow Diagram) and the Program Structure Diagram. As a result, the main structure had seldom been modified during the developing process according to their design documents, except for some details. On the deadline of the assignment, they didn’t only demonstrate what they finished. Instead, they asked me to try it on my own computer. Via the chatting function, Mr.X introduced to me what the software was capable of, and suggested me to try out all of the function. Despite some of the little flaws, it worked as a real product, and I was very satisfied with it.
Glad to be invited to write this letter to you, I unhesitatingly recommend Mr.XXX for your reference.
Truly,
XXX
