7 | Personal Names and Pronouns

4 minutes

classLearning, using, and properly pronouncing students names is worth the effort to connect with learners personally and build mutual trust and respect. Likewise, introducing our own preferred gender pronouns opens the door for including the personal pronoun preference of student (should that be important to them) and can help connect with our students in ways that improve the learning environment.

Hey! I left a recorded comment (not terribly out of line with what you claim to believe is reasonable) but one that clearly could place demands on students’ cognitive load — I would argue that a couple of names with some historical context is NOTHING like the cognitive load loss leader that it first year biochemistry to the typical medical school student in year 1.

I also loved your commentary on learning student names — this is something that I feel strongly about as well. For the past many years, where-ever I have been teaching, I have been the first, if not the only, faculty member to learn all of the names of the first year graduate students, or of the first year medical students. At UND, the 68 medical students were a breeze, as were the 12-15 first year grad students each year. Now, at BCOM in New Mexico, we have 170 first year students, but for the 2nd year in a row, I’ve learned their names (using some of the tips for memorizing names of structures you put out there on the blog). I bet them that I will get their name right, or buy them the liquid beverage of their choice. Never had to buy a Pepsi or a lemonade at UND in 16 years, and haven’t had to yet at my new gig. And the students, knowing that YOU know their name, and will likely notice if they aren’t there and giving their best effort, level up their efforts accordingly. Win Win — to the Cheers! phenomenon (where everybody —or at least one cranky anatomy & cell biology professor— knows your name.

Thanks for the comments, Jon! Always good to hear from you. I listened to you voicemail and, also remembering our very brief conversation at HAPS, I certainly see your point regarding eponyms. I’ll be reaching out to you soon to set up a convenient time to record a chat for the podcast, because I think your perspective is an important one that needs to be considered as A&P teachers try to sort out how they’re going to deal with eponyms in their course.
