I've taken 10 courses at UMPI. Only had 1 repeat professor and he's not even in my degree program. I did well in the 3 degree courses I took, and got great feedback from the 3 professors, but again, I only took 1 course from each of them and it feels strange to ask for a recommendation letter based off just that.
The best approach is to contact the professor at the start of the course and explain that your goal is to pursue a Master's degree. Let the professor know that you would like to receive a recommendation letter if you perform well in the class, aiming for an A or at worst an A minus.
This way the professor will keep you in mind throughout the course and your chances of securing a recommendation letter will be much higher.
