How do you go about getting letters of recommendation?

I go to a big state university and was wondering how many of you have approached your letters of recs. My classes are huge with over 100 people and it's hard even getting one on one time in office hours...

I'd make an attempt at seeing them during office hours or face to face. After that, you can send a professionally worded email asking for a recommendation. You can look up some articles that give you a good structure and template for what to write. Include your resume in the email as well.

Wrong thread.

If you see your professors for office hours, group or alone, or email them pretty consistently, they remember who you are! I went to a community college and the professors I liked, I would find them on social media. Hey it's a different age and everyone is on some sort of social media site. I only asked if I could add them AFTER the semester ended just to keep in touch. No one ever said no to me. This really helped me in the end because I lost all my email contacts but I was still able to contact my professors via Facebook to write me letters of recommendations! They remembered me because I was the only person to ask to be friends on Facebook! If you're kinda crazy on social media I don't recommend doing this.

If you email mail them, I suggest you put your earned grade in the email and what you got out of the class.
