Appeal to Current Interests
• Belonging, with potential of status in group– They have to want to belong to the
group–Recruit groups instead of individuals
• Role fulfillment – conforming to expectations–Computing is social, helps people,
allows you to give back to the community, etc.
– These are true in general; make them true of your course as well

Invite
• Saying “it’s a good class” and “you can succeed” sounds hollow without “I want you”
• “You should take the next class too” can be more powerful than “you are doing well”
