Hello. Ever since you changed the roster photos to a circular shape from the original square shape, I, and others I've spoken to, have found it to be more difficult to see the students' pictures clearly and easily. It's as if one is looking at the photo through a telescope, and as ridiculous as it may sound, it is actually harder to see the students' faces. Because many faculty at our college use the roster for attendance and for learning the names of students, I, and others, would advocate you go back to using the square photos. Your serious consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
One more thing. I believe part of the problem with the round photos is that very often the students' hair is cropped out of the picture, and hair is an important identifying feature of a person. In any case, it is very clear to me and others that the square photos made it easier to identify and learn the names of students in a class, and for that reason this is, in my opinion, an important issue that deserves serious consideration. Thank you very much!!
