Instructors hand out name tags at the beginning of the next few classes. As nametags are handed out, the instructors try to match the name with the student, and then check to see if their guess is correct. These photos can be glued to the class roster next to the proper names. Or a collage of pictures and names can be assembled on the door of the instructor's office to help memorize names. This is a quick access way for instructors to test themselves.
Students glue a snapshot on a notecard for the instructor.
Additional subjects in the photos help make the person memorable. Beside their snapshot students are asked to write a variety of information to help the instructor get to know the student. Information about the students' likes and dislikes, background, and goals are especially helpful memory hints. Some instructors draw their students to help them remember who is who. These sketches can be placed in the class roster next to the student's name for quick identification.
