Generally useless thread here....but I just got my Bio professor from last semester agree to a letter of rec. for me 🙂

My first one, Since all my other classes are really about 10 years ago, getting a recent one is fantastic....

My approach in class was to sit up front and be engaged in the class (which i need to do to learn anyway)..the prof had a pretty good sense of humor (which most of the class didn't seem to understand) so I got to joke around with him in class which probably helped.

I'm excited, thought I'd share 🙂

Always a good feeling! 🙂
 
Thats great!! I didnt sit up front but when i emailed my Chem 1 prof from spring 2010 he certainly remembered me, because I was the one with the goofy comments and constantly breaking SOMETHING in lab! He was even willing to write off Chem 2 as a prereq so I could take orgo. Standing out a little, especially as a nontrad, I think can be great!
