I’ve considered adding all of my family’s birthday’s to the list but 1) I’m too embarrassed to ask 2) Calenders are an easier solution. Has anyone else done something similar?
Also, indirectly, I teach a class of about 25~ students every quarter and while I don’t put them in a deck, I make sure that I’m exposed to the entire classes’ names in a roughly spaced repetition way (First class I attempt to say everyone’s name twice, grade different assignments at the appropriate spacing and ‘reset’ my schedule for mistaken names). This has caused my students to respect me as a teacher much more (No other Teaching Assistant knows everyone’s name!) and slightly deters people from being quiet when they don’t understand something (as I can just call out their name).
There’s no pictures and the first time I get the dossier is on the day I teach my class. It’s slightly premature optimization to start an anki before the first week of TAing, because about 5 or so students shuffle in an out during the first two or so weeks. Currently though, I’m applying for a physics major only class where there would be pictures and the class size is much more static.
Thanks for suggesting an out and out comparison. It hadn’t really occurred to me to do this if I do land the other job.

Next time (right now?), why don’t you try the students using anki and see how it compares? Does the school give you their pictures ahead of time?
