I heartily agree with this. If you talk to your professors early, you have a much better chance of getting things to come out the way you want them to. This is good advice for high school kids too. Everyone appreciates advance notice. Lisa is correct as well that some professors will not care that you asked early, and you may have to bend to their will.
