Academic References for MFin

At my university, in my course at least, I feel as if there is very little interaction between the students and the professors due to the large size of the cohort. I don't think any professor knows me by name, and this is true for almost all of my classmates as well. How can I obtain strong academic references to secure admission to a top MFin program if the professors don't even know me?
