i've always comforted myself with the fact that even though my voice shakes like crazy and i stutter when i give oral presentations, my nervousness does not affect my grade as long as i present the information. but now we're getting graded on being: /fluid, appropriately expressive; self confident and relaxed/ and now i want to shoot myself in the foot
i wish, but on the paper they're stressing that we should be really excited about this bc more and more jobs irl are requiring oral presentation skills. i don't know what they're expecting though. the whole class struggles when we have seminars, everyone sounds like a nervous wreck
lol anon i'm lucky if i can get the information across ): there is a >>>>> 50% chance i'll break down in tears halfway through :D so just give it your best shot, seriously :)
...when i was in school we had to do presentation for every single module and we always got graded on this. i didn't know this wasn't regular practice. D: then again my major placed huge emphasis on public speaking and oral delivery of material.
hwaiting, anon! it isn't that bad, trust me. even in rl working environment, presentations are challenging to get right! smile a lot, and you'll be all right! (no, srsly, smiles go a long long way in helping you in presentations.)
