Principles of Persuasion

• The Principle of Consensus or Social Proof

– This syllabus is obliged to everyone taking the class– It requires coming to class prepared, if not the student is

most likely to fail because of the grade distribution– Because of that, majority will obey the syllabus – Others will feel uncomfortable and they will eventually

follow the majority

-Instructor will remind the grading and the syllabus in the middle of semester

-Students will know how many points they have collected out of the participation percentage.

Therefore they will have the chance to compare their grades with ther peers.
