QUESTION: Does anyone else hate public speaking? I did a presentation a few days ago that did not go well. I want to improve, any suggestions on classes I could take or clubs I could join that would not be intimidating?
I hate public speaking, but it really is the more practice the more comfortable you get. I am a TA this year and pretty much stuttered my way through the first month lol, its gotten better now so there is hope for all of us :)
Toastmasters is a great place to start. UW has a club, though I'm not sure how intimidating it is.
