Letters of recommendation?

Question

Short story:  I attend a large public university meaning much of my intro level courses were large lectures (100+ students).  To make matters worse, personal problems and bad grades gave me a bunk sophomore year and I had to complete my 3rd year at a community college.  Now I'm back for my last 3 semesters, and I would like to know some tips on how to build faculty relationships so I have people to ask for letters of recommendation.  I already enrolled for spring classes with professors that teach in the fall hoping that I could snag another class with a prof or two from spring semester.  However, since most applications are due right after fall 2012, I only have 2 semesters to get letters of recommendation.  Any advice or tips?

i have definitely been in your position - i know what it's like to be in a class of over 200 students and want attention from the prof to get a reference.

id recommend talking to them after classes or during their office hours. look up what research they do and if it sounds interesting to you ask them about it - they'll love talking about it! if you have a question about course material try asking them in person so they can put a face to the name. sit in the front row or close to the front so they may see you more often and you will at the very least look familiar to them

See the profs in their office hours. Sit in the front of the class room.. Ask intelligent on topic questions in class and do extremely well in any assignments and on tests./

Good luck.

that's complication-loose prepare, to have a former worker write their very own advice letter. i don't recognize what your interest grew to become into yet be straight forward, make your self seem stable and concentration on your stable factors. have been you there time-honored, once you have been meant to be? How is your artwork ethic? What have been your household projects? Did you artwork properly with others? Did you artwork properly in my opinion? those are in undemanding terms some innovations.
