If you are looking for a recommendation for a scholarship (NSERC or OGS) of for graduate school I require a paragraph or two on the following:

Background
How long have I known you? What courses did you take with me?
Academic Ability
Discuss your academic record (do not include a transcript). Point out any particular strengths. If you have a regular strength in one area, be clear to make that obvious, e.g., software or hardware, power or controls. If you are weak in one area explain why. How does your academic reflect your actual abilities? Is there anything in your transcript about which you are particularly proud?
Self-taught
What have you researched or taught yourself on your own time outside of your academic studies and Co-op Work Placements. Do you read any journals on a regular basis?
Originality
Demonstrate originality, most like at your Co-op Work Placements, your 4th-year Design Projects, Course Projects (e.g., ECE 354), and work with engineering clubs (Midnight Sun).
Research Skill
Provide any examples of research-related activities during your undergraduate career. This may include, but is not limited to, copies of papers (published and unpublished), technical reports, or examples from Co-op Work Placements.
Research Potential
Given the information in your last paragraph, justify your potential for research.
Engineering Judgment and Analysis
Provide examples, most likely from your Co-op Work Placements and perhaps your 4th-year Design Project which demonstrate engineering judgment and analysis.
Leadership
Provide examples of leadership, e.g., at your Co-op Work Placements or executive positions held in various organizations or clubs.
Oral Communication
Provide any examples of public speaking, for example, attending Toastmasters.
Written Communication
Provide a copy of your most recent work-term report (electronically) or some other example of your writing skills. If you have authored or co-authored any published or unpublished papers, please provide those if possible.
Industry/Entrepreneurship
Give examples of industriousness or entrepreneurship throughout your undergraduate studies.
Anything else?
Is there anything else that would help me provide a clearer picture as to why you should be eligible for a scholarship?

Please do not submit a transcript.
