Recommendation Letters

<p>I'm going to be studying abroad in the Fall and as a part of the application to the program I want to go with, I must get a letter of recommendation from a former or current teacher. I'm a quiet student but do okay. I've never gotten very close with a teacher, which I'm realizing I should start doing. </p>

<p>My question: should I ask my art history teacher from last semester? She has also just been assigned as my advisor for my art history major. I met with her last week and we had a great conversation and she commented on how well I did last semester and how well I grasped the information. Should I ask her for the recommendation? Like I said, she's my advisor and since we aren't close (even though I hope to start growing our relationship) and I've never stayed after class with her or visited office hours, I'm worried about her saying no and me having to still meet with her. I only got a B in the class which is why I'm so worried, but she knows I really tried I guess. </p>

<p>Thanks for advice!</p>

<p>Just tell the professor that you want to study abroad, and you need a recommendation for it. Most professors will try to help students out with that type of stuff, and since you talked to her, she will most certainly help you.</p>
