My issue with oral presentation is I always felt like we were graded on how good we were at it, but we were never taught

how to be better, how to handle the stress, etc.

It always felt like an evaluation of how naturally good we were. And if could affect your grade in a subject that was completely unrelated to that skill.

Thankfully, I was always comfortable at speaking in front of people, so it wasn't an issue, but it made me very aware of how lucky I was when I looked at how my friends were nervous wreck before and after...
