Currently in the process of knocking out my pre-reqs and I’m trying to score a LOR (letter of recommendation) from atleast 1-2 of my professors. Anybody have any experience with getting letters from them? Like how they went about asking/earning them from them?

The professors should know you more than they would just by seeing you in class and seeing your assignments. Ask questions in class/lab. Go to office hours and ask questions. If you might have the time, ask if they have any need for lab help. Take two or more classes with the same professor so that you develop a relationship over time.
