Jenny:
I have used both names and codes in TBL folders for two undergraduate
courses, a graduate course, and faculty workshop series. I do not recall
ever hearing a complaint about the numbers or names.
I now use only student generated codes, but in every class at least one
team will write in their names later on, which simplifies their (and my)
work. But I don't suggest it to them.
I used to type the codes (or, earlier, names) into the Record Form, but
then I had the epiphany that the students can do this with a lot less
effort than I can and with little loss in effectiveness.
I have attached samples of the Record Forms I use in my courses. The
teams record all scores and totals, except for the last ApEx which I
enter after the course is over (taken at the last meeting of the
course). The Record Form, together with the Attendance Record, Appeal
Forms, and a small table to convert RAT scores of, say, 7 out of 8
items, to percentages are placed in the team folder by the second or
third meeting of the course and remain there for the duration of the
semester.
