I always ask professors after class, if I mess up my speech, at least it won’t be in front of a class full of people. Once I spoke up in a discussion on a topic I know a lot, in short, I got cocky I j...

Initially, yes. I would suggest going to office hours or a tutoring center to ask questions. It's their job to do so and I've found it tremendously helpful getting 1-on-1 help....

In school i skipped lots of classes, pretended to be sick and so on. It absolutely hindered my progress in school. I found that when i started working, things went uphill and i'm pretty happy where i...

Absolutely. During the first year or two of my undergrad, at some point or another, I would get confused about something being discussed in class, whether it be a specific term or concept/ theory, and...

College students, do you ever feel like your learning experience is hindered by not being able to ask questions when the opportunity arises?

I apologize for my lack of formatting I was kind of rushing the post a bit. but yes you listed a few things I find myself doing. When I first start a sentence I feel like I repeat those words a few ti...

I’m only a freshmen, but here’s what I didn’t do due to my stutter ):. I didn’t really make friends.. too busy with school I guess.. make sure to OG attention in CS class since that’s what your majori...

I would suggest to follow pick up community for instance mainstream RSD - real social dynamics. I think generally people with stutter should trying to face and comfortable in high-pressure situations ...

My highschool math teacher stuttered. He was a cool guy. Married, had a kid. He yelled at students when they acted up and yea he stuttered but it didnt stop him from TEACHING every single day. I wis...

College students are alot more mature than high school students. In America college is viewed as an experience of the real world, among other things. Ever one was always patient and considerate of me ...

Go to class earlier and introduce yourself to people seating next to you. Ask them where they are from? What do they like to do? Good places to eat around? Have a friendly composure. Make eye contact,...

I started college 2 weeks ago. Community college to be specific and I haven’t talked to anyone at all. Expect telling them what we’ll on when they ask. But that’s it. I too shy to ask them for their n...

I agree to still do them (if you can handle it, it sounds like you've had a rough time of things). However, if you're graded on your speaking skills, you should opt out. As for practice makes perfect...

Thanks for commenting. I never thought about the self fifilling prophecy before but maybe your right. In the past month I have actually started another new school and since I had a monthly majoring st...

You've got this. Just wait til you get to college and most professors couldn't care less what your name is or some interesting fact about yourself, it's a huge relief tbh. But again, some few still do...

It’s amazing that you didn’t let this stop you from your dream! I myself am currently getting my masters in special education. My stutter is what brought me to the field. It’s a struggle everyday, but...

Is it communication class? I had a hard time in those classes. The only thing which helped me was trying to make the class laugh.. But after a while my nerves calm down... You can do it. At first it's...

This, also you can go talk to your professors one-on-one (if you're at a smaller school) and explain the situation. That's what I did at the start of every semester for courses where I had to public s...

I second this. My own personal story is that I didn’t go through the disability support center and still found professors to be very understanding and willing to work with me web I explained the situa...
