Yes, I've stuttered my entire life. I'm 31. I think observation is good but putting yourself in our shoes, even for 5 minutes, gives you a different and better perspective. Perhaps go to your busiest Subway and order a sandwich while pseudo stuttering. Imagine there's a line behind you of people who are in a hurry and their impatience is hitting you like a ton of bricks as you make them wait an extra 30 seconds due to stuttering on every word (although it feels like 20 minutes). The customers and employees are all staring at you trying to figure out a) why is he talking like that and b)what is he trying to say. Once you experience all the negative feelings we associate with speaking only then can you understand the importance of "acceptance" of the stutter. Can you really teach someone how to drive a car if you've never driven? "Normal" disfluency is nothing like an actual stutter where you block or keep on repeating a sound. To summarize, do the assignment. You may have a choice to not stutter but we do not.
