  12. Navigating to SU Library Subscription Databases: • Click the databases tab • Type in the name of the desired database(e.g., Proquest Central) • Click the orange button located at the right edge of the red DISCOVER search box • Click the appropriate linked database name appearing on the subsequent results pageReminder: Not all MOD 2 exercises require library databases; some exercises use freely available websites.The “Browse Databases” link is yet another way to retrieve databases alphabetically or according to subject categories (e.g., databases in “sociology,” “political science,” etc.)

  24. Meet Dale. Sup. • Dale Carnegie was born in Missouri and was raised by poor farmers. • By the end of his life, he had amassed a fortune and is called the founder of self-help. • His book How to Win Friends and Influence People has sold over 10 million copies.

  25. Why should YOU know him? • His principles will allow you to gain knowledge about successfully interacting with others. • You will make a lot of friends and a lot less enemies. • Learning DC will change the way you view yourself, and in turn, help the way others view you. • His principles will allow you to succeed in life…

  26. How will Dale Carnegie competitions work? • Approximately once every 2 weeks, 2 competitions between 2 groups will occur! • Groups will receive a scenario, and they will have 2 minutes to prepare a skit that shows which Dale Carnegie principle they would use to remedy the situation- can’t use “Smile.” • Coplin will award points to the team that has the best skit and explains the Dale Carnegie principle thoroughly, based on an evaluation form.

  27. Example • Scenario: You forgot to get your Module 1 paper stapled. You knew you couldn’t go into Coplin’s office to get your paper stapled, so you decide to go into the Political Science Office to use the stapler. The secretary, however, has a reputation for being hostile and rude.

  28. Evaluation Form Group #____ How well did the group exemplify the principle? 1 Yes 0 No Did the group state the principle word-for-word? 1 Yes 0 No How clearly did the group state the benefit of using the principle? 1 Yes 0 No *# of “Yes’s” = amt. of extra credit

  29. How can Dale and I become friends? • Purchase How to Win Friends and Influence People which is available in the SU bookstore, and start reading. This book is a VERY easy and quick read. • Go to the PAF 101 website and print out a copy of the principles • Practice these principles on your friends, roommates, Coplin, etc. • IT IS VITAL FOR YOU TO KNOW THESE PRINCIPLES IF YOU WANT YOUR GROUP TO WIN EXTRA POINTS! Competitions will begin NEXT CLASS.

  30. For Next Class • Choose topic and get exercises 2.1-2.3 done by Wednesday • Aim to finish 2.1-2.7 by next Monday • Start reading chapters 3 and 4 • Next class your group will be changing seats! http://classes.maxwell.syr.edu/paf101
