Use students' names as often as possible. 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.
Instructors hand out name tags at the beginning of the next few classes.
As nametags are handed out, the instructors try to match the name with the student, and then check to see if their guess is correct. 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. This is a quick access way for instructors to test themselves. Students glue a snapshot on a notecard for the instructor.
