Myron Jaworsky, an accounting professor, provides some more tips on how to remember students' names. As he notes:
"There is no doubt, in my mind at least, that 'the pain is worth the gain.' In my own career as a student, I remember that my best teachers always seemed to take some extra effort to learn (and use) students' names as quickly as possible. The worst (i.e., graduate assistants in large undergraduate lecture courses) never bothered. Teachers cannot claim to be concerned about how well their students learn, if they themselves do not try as hard as they can to show they care about one of the most important possessions anyone can have in a mass civilization: a face and a name."
