First question:
I have read this thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=138533 However it does not cover the best time or how to ask for recommendations.
Right now I am Acing both Bio 101 + Lab and next semester I will be taking 102 with the same teachers, maybe swap the lab guy for the lecture guy and vice versa just to see how the other teaches lab or lecture. When would be the best time to ask for my recommendations from both of these professors or should it just be one? How should I do this and when would be the best time?
Second question:
Are extended learning classes bad for nontrads? I have very limited time to take classes, which is only during the evening. In my first question I am trying to fit in the two same teachers from this semester into next semester's schedule. One way to do this is to take them at the same time I am taking them now for Spring 2005 and then take Chem 111 online + Lab (three Saturdays next semester). Or I can drop the guy I am taking for lab now, he's not a TA but a actual lecturer at the school so I figure I can hit him up for a LOR, and just shoehorn in Chem 111 + Lab in during one of the evening sessions. I would like to do the former option but the later option would mean losing one potential LOR from a teacher I am Acing now and a potential Chem professor even though it is more convenient for my schedule. Does anyone know are online courses detrimental to one's future medical applications? If not online chm 111 here I come!
Thanks for any info.
Fred
