Presentation anxiety is something that many of us have experienced at one time or another. You might be panicking about whether you'll know what to say, for example. And even if you have all the topics mapped out and prepared, the pressure of public speaking can make it difficult to remember them when it comes time for your big moment.
That's why we've put together this post with everything you need to know about how to master your material for an oral presentation in order to fight off those nerves and deliver a winning performance! In it, we cover topics like developing a strong introduction and paying attention during the presentation so that you don't embarrass yourself by forgetting what point comes next.

If your school doesn't offer an online version of your course but you have a friend or relative who'd like to take the course with you, why not ask them to copy the notes and questions for you (we'll help them with some of the content questions) instead? This way, they can learn alongside you when they're home and on their own time.
If someone has already taken the course with you, thank them for sharing their notes and questions with you! Also, make sure that they're taking good care of their computer because sometimes files get deleted or lost.
If you've copied someone's notes or questions, make sure to check them against the original file before you check them in with your school's student portal. If something doesn't match up, make sure you fix it before submitting!
Also, if you're taking a class online, ask your teacher for additional details about planning and submitting assignments. Some teachers' instructions may vary from what's shared in the course and it can be helpful to have a few questions answered ahead of time.
It can be frustrating when we download the class notes and there are no answers to the most important study guide questions.
Asking your teacher for additional information about the class is a great way to have key tips and details addressed early before you spend more time learning material that you'll have to fill in later.
If your teacher doesn't share specific details about submitting assignments, you might want to reach out to them directly via email or phone. We've found some teachers are better at answering questions than others and it's worth a try!
We're always excited when new students join our online courses! However, it can be frustrating if people leave without submitting all the assignments they need. If this happens to you, don't worry. You can get to work on these assignments right away - even after the class ends.
You can get started on your assignments as soon as the course begins. In fact, you might want to start before the class starts so that you don't get behind!
Please note: If your school has a paper submission policy, you'll need to follow that policy in order to submit assignments. We do not accept assignments from students who have a paper submission policy.
In general, some people have a hard time making sense of their notes or questions because they're not used to reading material in an online format. You may find it easier to read the class notes if you print them out first and then scan them into your computer's file system so that they appear exactly like the original online file.
You can create a PDF file of the course's text using the Preview feature in your word processing program before you print it.
If you're not familiar with how to use your word processor's Preview feature, here's what you'll need to do:
Open the class notes or questions in your word processor of choice. Use the menu option File > Print , followed by OK . Open your class notes or questions again and use the menu option File > Print again, followed by OK .
If you don't have access to a printer, ask your teacher for help on finding an online (i.e. cloud-based) provider that can save a PDF file for you.
