Final Presentations

Emotion Group - Great job on the powerpoint. I like that there was little text and more explanation from you all. It kept the topic interesting and focus on you all. The samples of your questionaires were also nice giving us a idea of what and how your questioned the participants and what you were looking for. Another thing i thought was very nicely down was the constant changing of speakers with different topics. Alot of people had just went one by one as they spoke but your group seemingless transitioned back and forth between topics. It kept the presentation very interesting!

Gender group - Awesome presentation. Very interesting results. I am really surprised that the class was unable to guess the gender from the readings of the different instructions. Seems that there is a definite trend that males and females may have in writing and giving instructions but mabye when reading so many one after another it may tend to desensitize us of our ability to accurately guess. I know at the end of reading the twenty or so pages, I was confused! And yes I was one of the ones that insisted that "bunny ears" had to be female though.
