<p>Yeah. I disagree with like half of the things stated on here. </p>
<p>Just show up to class. Participate. Engage in the discussions. Do well in the course. If you have difficulty then see the professor in the office hours but to discuss the work not to BS around. The rest will fall into place.</p>
<p>I would set an appointment up though once you ask for the letter of recommendation. This way you can tell him/her a little bit more about yourself and just have a discussion about where you’re headed. After this, I’m positive they can handle writing a recommendation for you.</p>
