I agree with JC. The point of the rec isn’t to determine how well you’re doing in the class, that’s what the transcripts are for. The prof rec is to differentiate between the students who are actively participating and adding to the classroom experience, and the kids who just show up and get As because they’re smart, but don’t really play along.

Also, in the average classroom, 20% of the students have As anyway. Good grades don’t always translate into good recs.

Participate. It’s not so bad.
