Professor signed me up for a symposium My advisor signed me up for a symposium at my university to present my research. I’m usually a very confident person but it’s two days before the symposium and I’m completely freaking out. I feel sick just thinking about it. I know I’m going to stutter and freeze. I already stutter in normal speeches with small presentations. This symposium is supposed to big since it’s taking place in a ballroom. I’ve spent so much time working to gather research that I don’t want to screw it up. Any advice or experiences would be helpful. Update: The symposium went great. I was extremely anxious when I first showed up. Since, there was more people than I anticipated. I did stutter but I kept my composure. The audience did have questions that I was able to answer except for one but my advisor jumped in to help me out. I’m glad I went through it. My advisor was proud of my presentation. This experience was great practice for my thesis defense.
