Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Hi all, Today in group tutorial we had to be in groups in 8 which was too much for me, I was too afraid to take part in a big group like that, I perfer on one 2 one and find 2 people talking at same time confusing, even 4 talking same time is worse lol, because of my disability. My mind just goes blank in a group and i couldn't think of anything that about against of smoking, coz everone was talking to fast and I had no chance to think lol Also now I'm worried about next week, because the tutor says everyone has to take part and contribute but i'm worried I may not say nothing again, I can feel its gonna happen, even i want too, but I cannot help it, coz nobody in the group of 8 gives me no chance, by they ask me its about the 10th one lol, that makes it much diffilcut to contribute for me. I don't really want to do it, I refuse, coz if i try to be in the group, the tutor maybe too harsh on me, coz i'm not taking part in the group. I just cannot help it and none of thats my fault. I may stay home next friday and try to get out of it somehow if i think i'm gonna get told off. Thats all 4 now. Susie -- My private email address: susie4uk2006@... My group email: susannah2005uk@...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Maybe you could write down what you want to say in the group beforehand and then read that when you're asked to contribute? It could be a verbatim statement or just an outline of points you want to make written down that could help you to start talking. I don't know if that is practical or at all worthwhile, but that is the only thing I could think of. In the past, I have dropped college classes because I would have had to speak in front of others.

If there's an office of disability services, you may be able to get accommodation. Jane Quote
