Presentations are usually unavoidable because we've all had classes we've had to give them in. How much do you guys like giving presentations? Do they make you nervous or are you indifferent to them? I hate presentations with a passion. Especially group presentations because I always seem to be the one who does the most work. Although I'm very grateful once I get them over with. Just a small bump in the road! The few minutes leading up to the presentation makes me the most nervous but when I'm giving it I'm usually okay.
I hate and love presentations at the same time, If I have to talk about something that I love, I can talk about it all day long, so yeah when I like the subject I will enjoy giving a presentation about it, But I hate all the stress and all the anxiety that comes with it (and being a rather anxious person doesn't help a lot tbh, like heck I was once even told by a friend that "You were so stressed out during your presentation that is was making me nervous too" x))
I hate presentations of all kinds. When it's just a solo thing, I get anxious and awkward and words just don't come to me. As a group, I feel irritated on top of anxious and awkward because we never really talk about who is going to be doing the presenting. And just in general I hate doing group work.
I got used to giving presentations. I had a phobia of public speaking for a very long time - when I was a kid I had to read a story for the rest of the class and they all laughed at me; I was only 6 or 7 so it had a bit of an impact on me - but people grow up, and it wasn't too hard in College or University. Powerpoint is a wonderful thing, and they're comparatively low effort compared to...pretty much everything else, honestly. Group presentations irritated me because I always did all the work myself, but the upside to that was knowing that it was right...it causes me more anxiety leaving part of the work in someone else's hands than it does doing work for three people...or having to meet up with those people when I'd rather be doing something else.
As someone with awful anxiety, I hate presentations, hate the eyes on me. No one in my classes get why you are nervous and most teachers I have had ignored you unless you have a panic attack... which isn't fun. Just hate how mandatory they always are.
I'm fine with presentations. In fact, I'm currently preparing two of them. I don't really like speaking in public, but it settles while I progress through the presentation. But, like seemingly most here, I'm also not that fond of group presentations, unless you can choose your partners.
I’ve always tried doing as much as i could making the presentation so that I wouldn’t have to give the presentation. It worked most of the time and I’m glad because I’m very bad in front of people
It really depends on the topic for me. If I’m passionate and knowledgeable about it then I could make a could presentation
I don't really like presentations. I tend to stutter and forget things a lot, and I'm pretty much dead without a script if I'm not improvising on the spot. Presentations in choir are different, though. For some reason, I never have any trouble with those.
Oh My Gosh...I Really Hate Presentation At All-Public Speaking Is My Fear But If I Have To Give A Presentation To Class, I Think I Will Have The Confidence To Do That Although I Will Be Afraid.
I'm in a weird limbo: I don't like giving presentations, but I'm good at it. It's a shame to not go enjoy one of my talents, but whatever. Any time I'm in a group assignment, my teammates will 100% of the time push me to be the leader, taking 50-70% of the speaking time. Honestly, I'm fine with that. It makes me look like I did more in a graded assignment, so I can relax a bit during the research in exchange. I am worried though: my employer sees me as a real people-person, so I'm wondering if I'm going to have to do some kind of a presenting-to-a-client task soon, and that's uncharted water for me.
