Erica, your presentation was interesting, and you have obviously put a lot of work into this since you have been working on it for a while now. When people meet for the first time, depending on the situation, they usually want to make a good impression. This might entail them acting or behaving slightly differently than they usually would because they want the other person to like them. In face-to-face, this might involve mimicking gestures subconsciously, or changing the tone of your voice. Over IM or Email, a person might try to relate to what the other person is saying, for example if someone said they liked sports, the other person might mention that they went to a Yankee game the night before.

Erica, I thought you gave an excellent presentation. I liked how you used the slides merely as springboards to your topics — not for reading! — and your speaking skills are great. Your progression through the slides was good, and it was easy to follow where you were going with each topic as well as your explanations.
Too bad you don’t have any results yet. They’ll be interesting to see. I really like that you have people go back through their deceptions to determine if they were in fact deceiving. I wonder, if you find any differences between CMC and FTF, what variables you hypothesize will be causing these differences?

Erica, I thought your presentation was great, and I'm really interested in it because it ties in closely to my project as well. I'm fascinated to hear more about what you find. I think your methodology is very strong, and the retrospective analysis is one of the best ways to try to get people to correctly remember and identify where they were being deceptive. You seem to really know what you're doing, so great job, and keep up the good work!
