You need your profs to get to know you as a thinker, communicator, doer. It seems intimidating but it doesn't have to be. Take smaller seminars with the prof, ask about research assistant opportunities, apply to work in their lab. Let them see you in action /4

If you're interested in a prof's work, go to their office hours and ask them about their trajectory. Have specific questions in mind for them. Often students will email me interested in my work, and then tell me all about my work...that doesn't help you /5
-spacing out work instead of cramming so they could really think about and engage with the ideas in the readings -starting assignments early so they could do multiple drafts & get peers to review -staying on top of readings (many said this was the 1st term they ever did) /7

-challenge their existing ideas, learning to be comfortable with not knowing the answer to complicated problems -improving depth of reading reflection papers -being open to their own inexperience without judgment -expand ability to ask uncomfortable questions /8
