<p>OK so this semester I have four classes...and if i want to transfer on time as a sophomore, i need to cultivate relationships with professors from two classes. My calc professor is a russian who's not too fluent in english and doesnt really care about his students. My western philosophy professor is a goofy stoner who absolutely doesnt care about his students or even his own career for that matter....not to mention that his class has 380 students. (He's just really out there....he rambles on his own for about an hour and then leaves in a hurry) My econ "teacher" is a chinese grad student who has a decent command of the english language....but shes not a professor. My hebrew history professor is really the only nice dude who gives his students individualized attention, allows for student participation in classes, and encourages critical thinking on the subject material. </p>
<p>So the only two profs whom I've acquainted myself with are my hebrew history professor and my econ "teacher," both of whom know me well at this point. My econ teacher assumes the role of a professor in every sense, directing TA's and stuff, yet she is not officially a professor of economics. Will this be a problem when it comes to professor recommendations? I checked all the applications of the schools that I've applied to, and it seems that all they ask for of professors are "years teached. " Yet if this will be a problem, what should i do???? I'd appreciate some sincere advice guys. Any information pertaining to techniques on appealing to stoner philosophers would also be helpful.</p>
