3 academic references
If I want to apply to Oxford for a masters I need 3 academic references, the issue is, my course has over a hundred students so its not exactly a tight knit group where the lecturer has the time to learn everyones names. Right now I can think of 1, potentially 2: first being my academic tutor AND im not quite sure if I will be assigned a different person as my dissertation supervisor, they haven't told us yet (im in 2nd year) but if they do then that's reference #2. I definitely can't think of a 3rd rn. Do I need to get close to one of my lecturers? How would I do that? The only thing I can think of is going to their office during their open hours to ask for advice on coursework but not sure how far that will get me...
I had this 1 teacher in sixth form and I was at the top of his class but not sure if he'll still remember me in 2-3 years time or be willing to write me a reference, given I finished my a-levels nearly 2 years ago now.
