I have another question regarding asking about recommendations. The TA who I have for one of my classes is not actually a TA but a professor who has been teaching for something like 17 years at my college. This year, the math department (for some reason) tried something different and instead put him in charge of the recitation sessions. Would it be okay if I asked him for the recommendation rather than the actual professor of the course, since my "TA" is not an actual professor. I think that I may be able to get a better rec from him than from the professor whose lecture has some 300 students. I will still most likely do my best to make sure the professor knows me and such, but there is more of a chance the "TA" will know me more, as the TA sessions meet more often and are much much smaller. Any advice?
