Random order would still mean a few students in the class get unlucky and near the end the majority of the time. Although over the course of all classes it would tend to even out somewhat.
It’s certainly better than fixed order.

It could even to a human observer look randomized if you want. In a trivial example case where the effect were linear you could just switch the order back and forth, and on average every student would receive the same middle-of-group impact.
