Margaret,
I think this is perfect for undergrads. I taught HS biology (9th grade)
and while covering Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase, told
them to remember IP MAT as a mat in front of a toilet. As seniors, many
have come back to tell me they still remember. I am sure they would remember
yours for the classification levels.
