The be...I get awfully nervous too, but CPP's right. The best you can do is to reassure yourself on the content. Review what you're going to say with every slide, imagine questions you might get asked, and prepare accordingly. The better prepared you are, the more confident you will feel--and the more likely that someone will ask you something you know, which will help boost your confidence.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, there's really only practice. It's good to be a bit scared to present in front of a bunch of profs. The kids who don't take it seriously are usually not destined for greatness.Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005652406299754952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311256008594820933.post-12556300935059322852008-11-16T14:19:00.000-05:002008-11-16T14:19:00.000-05:00One thing to always try to remember is that no one...One thing to always try to remember is that no one can tell how nervous you are unless you tell them or show them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311256008594820933.post-2400098429365219642008-11-14T21:09:00.000-05:002008-11-14T21:09:00.000-05:00I've been doing pretty much that since high sc...I've been doing pretty much that since high school (drama club -> school council -> 1st year seminar class -> etc.) and one of the presentations is for a class called Scientific Communication, which has been nothing but abstracts & presentations. It's been tolerable (although I did get the shakes every time I presented) so far because all the presentations were short and the audience was 90% students. The presentation next week is longer and the audience will consist mostly of profs I have never met, which has me <I>extremely</I> scared.<BR/><BR/>\o/ Blogrolled? And tagged for a meme? Wee.

What I try ...I get the same way when I present too. What I try do to is set myself up more often with situations where I have to speak publicly... force myself to get that experience (like treating a phobia, just desensitize yourself)<BR/><BR/>Also, I've never been a fan of practicing speeches on my own (talking to a mirror freaks me out). So instead I just talk aloud flipping through the slides in my room.<BR/><BR/><BR/>P.s. its good to see another crazy undergrad out here in the blogosphere! you are more or less blogrolled....Eugeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312243477847551650noreply@blogger.com
