  1. I too was the type of student who preferred to sit in the back of the classroom and teach myself the material on my own. It can be difficult to kindle meaningful relationships with professors in this case. As I began to consider graduate studies, and similarly letters of recommendation, I decided to find different ways of interacting with professors. For me, I had success with merely emailing professors with inquiries regarding coursework or projects, even when I was fairly clear on that which I sought clarity. These actions conveyed my interest in the material and my professors' expertise - this also allows them to show off a bit, if you provide them with the right opportunity. A bonus to this approach is the familiarity gained between yourself and your professor and can assuage any reluctance you might have to seeing them during office hours. That said, what you have listed as mediums for involvement and exploration are already great outlets and will not only expose you to faculty, but grant you a better idea of your interests and aspirations. Keep it up, and good luck!
