Letters of Recommendation

During your junior or senior year you will be soliciting recommendations from instructors whom you have had as early as your freshman year. Without being offensive or obsequious, get to know some of them while you are taking their courses and let them get to know you. As the course comes to a close, inform them that you may be seeking a letter of recommendation from them as a junior or senior, so that they can note something about you while your presence as a student is still fresh in their minds.
