Marykate, You did a nice job on your presentation. I think your presentation would be a good example to use for clearly explaining informed consent. It was very easy to follow. I also agree with you that making sure the participants know exactly what is going on in the study you are conducting is important. You do not want any participant coming up to you during the research process saying "you did not tell me that you were going to do that." This just screams disaster. I also thought the bullet point talking about pseudonyms and how sometimes that is not enough was interesting. I never really thought about that, but getting the consent would allieviate the confusion about how they will be deidentifying their participants. The last slide was a perfect way to end your presentation. I agree when in doubt ask for permission. Great job!
