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+.

To be fair, there is a huge difference between being comfortable and confident while speaking, and coming across as either over-enthused or cocky and irritating. It really isn't enjoyable to listen to someone who's talking as if they KNOW they are the supreme authority on any given topic.

he's got a point. but, its a class for goodness sake. one point lost for that is quite dumb. but, at least your professor gives a flying f**k about being on point even though it is just a class.
