I am professor in an engineering college. For every 3 months I use to teach a subject for about 60 plus new students. At first, when I started my career as lecturer, I could not able to remember every student. I use to identify them by their clothes colour they wear. Even now I could not remember each and every student. Can you able to remember each and every name of the people that you are associated with?

hi, welcome to mylot. Remembering each one of them might be a bit difficult. But rather than remembering them by their dress code/ color, try to remember them for their talent. Like one student who's too good in speach, good manners etc etc.

Hi friend, Seems you are finding it too hard to remember the names. Ok, can you tell me how many times you appreciate them? Bcoz i would be happy to hear 'well done viju' (viju is my name) rather than someone telling me well done yellow dress. Now, if you are not remembering viju... u can ask well done..i missed your name and say it again (repeat) well done viju. You can also give them written work with their names on it. in the next class you can read their names and distribute. When i was in my secondary classes, i used to wonder how my maths teacher always took my name and ask questions (for which i never had any answers)lol. All the best and happy recalling the names!

Ok, but how can I call them by their talent during the class hours. So, I call them by the dress colour they wear for that particular day. If they wear glass, i call them like "the one who wear glass next to that red shirt".

The people that I have always remembered even after so many years would be my High School batchmates. I think I must have left have of myself on that time. I couldn't even remember the name of my classmates and professors in College!

Pretty much stuck on that part of my life---my high school life. It was simple the best time of my life. I know I ave missed a lot of it coz my parents were strict. But I just couldn't forget the people and the things during those time.

Hi, It is very difficult for you to remember the names of each and every student of your class. But you can remember the names of the other people with whom who are associated. I can remember the names of all the relatives, my old and new friends, my teachers names from school, professors names from colleges etc.
