Have a short quiz at the beginning of class over students' names. Have students make name tags on the first day of class. Students use heavy black or blue markers to write their names on the bottom half of the card and then fold the card in half, creating a tent name tag. Students keep the name tags with them and can then place the tag in front of their seat during the following class periods. Have instructors collect name tags at the end of the class.
Instructors hand out name tags at the beginning of the next few classes.
As name tags are handed out, the instructors try to match the name with the student, and then check to see if their guess is correct. Have students wear name tags for the first two weeks of class. These photos can be glued to the class roster next to the proper names. Or a collage of pictures and names can be assembled on the door of the instructor's office to help memorize names. Students glue a snapshot on a notecard for the instructor.
