Dean of the Dept. Teaching My Class

In summary, the speaker is an engineering major at a university and is concerned about being recognized by the Dean of the Engineering Department as a good student and hard worker. They are hoping this will increase their chances of being considered for scholarships within the department. They are unsure of the best way to get noticed without being overly assertive or creepy. One suggestion is to fake it by taking acting classes, while the other is to simply work hard and let their accomplishments speak for themselves.

I am an engineering major at a large research university. This upcoming fall, one of my classes is taught by the Dean of the Engineering Department. Almost all scholarships within the engineering department are "selected by faculty," without an application process, so my impression could have monetary consequences.

How can I make it so he recognizes me as a good student, and a hard worker? I'm only just starting my sophomore year, so if the dean of my department can connect my face with my name, it could be a good thing if my name pops up on a list for scholarship consideration within the next couple of years.

I don't want to be creepy assertive and friendly though, which is why I ask: "What is the most appropriate way to go about getting noticed by your professor?"

you have two options

1. take acting classes and FAKE IT that you're a hard worker and good student.

2. just be a good student and work hard.

I don't think there's anything else. Flaunt it enough so he notices too xD
