You see, in Sweden, lecturers/professors really don't get too close with the students. We are taught in bigger classes and sometimes in "small" classes (= 30-50 persons) so it's rare that they even know our names. So when I have to go back now to some of the professors in my uni they'll like not even recognize me lol. This is a bit of a problem for me. I know this problem from Germany. Some of the major courses here have up to 300 students. However, most professors know about this and understand the "reference issue". They feel obliged to write references and try to make them sound ok and individual. Did you already talk to your professors?
