Each professor grades differently and you’re assuming my professor knew of my stutter which he didn’t nor did I disclose. I came off unprepared and unrehearsed to him and the rest of the class which w...

To take it just a wee step further, I'd actually suggest paying attention to the extent to which the communication goal was achieved. Like, if you got directions for pop tarts, that's a win, completel...
