Letter of Rec Question

[MSMsong]

Hey there, I asked one of my professors for a letter of recommendation, but it turns out that she isn’t a tenured professor at the university I graduated from. Instead, she’s a postdoc and “project scientist” that taught a neuroscience course on campus. Would her letter of recommendation still be valid as a science professor? After all she did teach a upper division neuroscience course for a full quarter. Let me know, thanks!

It is acceptable

What about if it's a graduate student teaching the course? It's a 2 credit bio research course that bio major seniors have to take.

Depends on schools, but I would avoid getting letters from anyone without a terminal degree.
