I'm in a bit of a pickle regarding LOR's. The school I'm at doesn't have many faculty that teach lower-level and upper-level courses, to where I could establish myself in a core class & build on that in an upper elective. Because of this, its hard to figure out if a certain teacher will be teaching said upper elective during the time a LOR request would be made.
The only prof. I've been exposed to consistently, so far, has been in Chem. 1 & Intro. to Chem. (the latter class required by my school; the prof. has just recently been designated to teach only these 2 courses). The prof. has said that he is willing to discuss a potential LOR. I've heard that letters from lower-level teachers are not advisable if it can be helped; also, due to working full-time/going to school/the above statement, it's been difficult to anticipate a period of time where I could be exposed to the same teacher overall. This same sentiment applies towards my being able to possibly do research, not that I know how I'd go about accomplishing that.
Any help from y'all would be most appreciated.
