So I was wondering if it would be bad form to send a preliminary e-mail to a professor reminding them of who I am (I took this prof's class a year ago), and asking if they would feel comfortable writing a strong LOR for me? I would include that if he felt he could do that, I would like to maybe set up a time to meet with him, and discuss my motivation, experience, etc. for going into medicine? Would it be alright to do this in an e-mail? Or should I just drop by his office? I feel like it would be better to actually set up a time...but also that it might be a little impersonal asking for an LOR over the internet?
