ONE POINT IS ONE POINT Options

is my professor stupid? i'm taking a communications class intro to public speaking, and we have to do like 5 minute speeches almost everyday. so last week, i did my speech, and i got a 24/25 on my speech. the one point i lost was because he said i was too confident and cocky. wtf? he said i should be more humble. i mean is it my fault i'm not shy and humble like most of the students in the class. most of the students in my class are like shy and awkward when they do their speeches. f**ken bullshit man. i thought public speaking was about having confidence in speaking in front of a large group of people. this 1 point better not cost me an A- to a B+.

public speaking is not entirely about having confidence. it's images, gestures, attitudes, looks, and every aspect of your movements.


It's about you and how you carry yourself, not about others.
What image did you intend to portray? if you just say the lines out, it doesnt cut it.

Although you're upset about your professor, take that into a consideration to convince him in your next speech. Teacher's perspectives are different. Some suck ass, but it doesn't mean we cant learn from them. what can you really do?

It's good that you stand out in front of those losers.

Presenting your speech is an art. Make it pleasing for your professor.
Winner makes the grades. Good luck.
