Good luck in your degree! I've just moved out of London up to Peterborough.

For your presentation, I guess my best advice is practice, practice, practice. Then, when you're done practicing, practice a little bit more. If you can, do practice to a friend, or failing that practice in front of a mirror. I've found that things that might seem easy to say on paper trip may trip you up when your speaking it. I'm sure you'll do great though, we always torture ourselves before these things then they turn out great.

Best of luck!!

Glad to hear you're ok, but also would advise practice your presentation. If you're using powerpoint, have a couple of trial runs with a friend, also have some pointers written down on a piece of paper or cards so you can keep your flow, and get back on track if you digress!
Remember that everyone who has to do this will be nervous, so they'll be able to empathise with you, and also that you're talking about a subject that they're interested in, so it's easier to keep their attention ( try doing a parentcraft class in the searing heat of a hospital with pregnant women who keep falling asleep! ), also you'll be talking about something you know about and that alone will bring you confidence!
There is always someone in the group who will manage to make themselves look bored/uninterested/dead, ignore them and focus on the ones who are concentrating, we know you'll do fine! Fingers crossed for you,

merry meet Applerose,

I gotta agree with Paul that you need to practice your presentation. another couple of tips are:

1) Breath and take it slow
2) If feeling nervous about eye contact look at either peoples foreheads
3)stand straight, don't slouch as it kills your voice!
4) Practice, practice

hope it all goes well my friend :)

Blessings )O( x
