So I've been out of university since May and I'm soon going to be applying to grad school. I want to ask four of my professors for LORs (Two I've done research with; two I've known well). I'm unsure what the best approach is for asking them:
My college is within driving distance, though its a closed campus. I'm fairly sure I could meet with them in person if I cared to though I feel somewhat strange showing up unsolicited when I'm no longer a student. At the moment my preferred option is to email them, though email is somewhat impersonal and I'm not really sure if it might be perceived as lazy, especially if they want to ask follow up questions, etc.
Does anyone have any advice on the best way to approach professors about this, especially if you've been out of college for a short period? (And is it wise to ask a professor you know well, but with whom you've only gotten a B+ in their class?).
Thank you.
