Hi again,

I'm filling in applications for various Mres/PhDs and see that I will need academic references, some before march 10.
Is it rude to go to my lecturers (one may not remember me that well as she taught me last year) and ask them for an urgent reference? I hate the idea of pestering them just because I'm doing last-minute applications.
Or do you think it's a normal request and they're used to this type of thing?

Thanks!

Yes, it's fine to ask them. Just say that you're sorry for the short notice but you've only just discovered the project and you are really keen to apply and that you'd be really grateful if they could help.

Good luck!

Thanks!
