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.
