Professor brought me down I’m undertaking a masters in university. I have a presentation due next week, together with a classmate. We were both asked by the professor to talk to him after class. I was already expecting it was going to be related to my speech. It was. He asked us how we were planning on doing it, given my stutter. I told him I have no issues related to presenting, I stutter but I don’t mind. And he basically came to say he did mind, because he wants the class to be dynamic and my blocks would take away too much time, and I should be considerate with my classmates and other surreal bullshit I’ve never heard of in my entire life. He offered that I don’t speak at all and instead focus on building a PowerPoint. That felt like a humiliation, I want to talk, I always do, but this has also demotivated me greatly, since now I’m under pressure by this teacher to choose between not presenting or presenting at a moderately fluent level, which I cannot guarantee. I’m generally positive, but this hurt me.
