<p>That’s an excellent question-- my art history professor from last quarter loves to do work in the classics cafe, and when she does work she splays herself out in a chair, barefoot. Even though I wasn’t particularly close to her, she always says hi to me and I say hi to her.</p>
<p>Students get to know professors as much as students want to get to know them. I’ve kept up a good e-mail correspondence with my humanities professors from first and second quarter, both of whom I had asked to write recommendations for me. Because you’re in small discussion classes from the start, the prof will have a chance to get to know you, your personality, and your work.</p>
