I just finished a course/final with a professor who I want to ask for a letter of recommendation. I wanted to wait until after the final to make sure I kept my good grade in the class instead of asking earlier.
The problem now is that the semester is over this weekend and I don't know when he will have office hours next semester.
I figured I should write him an email but I wanted to make the request for the letter in person (and so I could provide him the necessary info and give him the opportunity to ask me any questions about myself to improve the letter). However if I write an email I feel it will be pretty obvious that I'm going to ask for a letter
Any advice on how to do this? Is asking over email then setting up an appointment even a bad thing?
Thanks!
