Of course, the flashcards are not the only way to test the student’s knowledge. If the volunteer puts in some effort, he should be able to come up with his own questions, and if the volunteer knows the sequence good enough, he can ask questions and discuss the matter with the student freely. This would ensure that the student has actually understood the sequence posts he was trying to learn, and did not simply memorize.
In the end, the instructor simply has to judge whether the student read and understood the sequence he wanted to learn, and how he’s doing this doesn’t matter that much, IMO. A good and reliable method could be worked out in detail while the first trials are running.
If this idea gets approval, the next thing to do would be trying it out!

Yes it needs to be emphasised that the anki idea was floated just as a ready made question set or notes for the person doing the testing.
