Okay so I’m a transfer and applying to some schools the require a letter of rec. I’ve been having trouble though because most of my classes so far have been lecture halls/hybrids/online so I haven’t really formed any relationships with my professors. I was thinking about asking my French professor because we had to talk a lot in that class by default and I got an A in that class and it was a fairly small class (<30 students). She knew me by name but that was almost a year ago and I never really talked to her outside of class (although our class was very close). I guess I was just wondering if it seems appropriate to ask her or if any of you guys have asked anyone for letters of rec and what your experience was with that.
One thing you may want to do when you ask is to bring along a resume. A lot of times, the instructors don’t really know you and can’t say much about you other than “he/she was a good student and received an A.” Therefore, you may want to provide more context.
