My communication apprehension is getting through my presentation in the allotted time. I have a tendency to speak quickly when I get nervous. Additionally, if I have not practiced my speech enough, I sometimes go into too much detail, not addressing all of the main points, and therefore exceed the designated time.
The following article, "The Effects of Impromptu Speech Exercises on Reducing Trait and Situational Communication Apprehension, discusses how practicing public speaking aids in improving fear/anxiety associated with communicating. The reason I chose this article is because Dr. Robinson actually makes us give presentations off the cuff, and I think it has really benefited me by enhancing my public speaking skills.

When it comes to presentations I get nervous overall with the whole idea of having to stand in front of a class and talk. I usually start to talk really fast, and I've been told I play with my hair a lot out of nervousness. I have noticed that when I am presenting in front of a group of people I am familiar with I tend to get less nervous, however, practicing many times the night before and taking a deep breath right before presenting helps very much.
The article I chose to go along with our topic is called, "Correlates Between Communication Apprehension and Listening Style Preferences." This articles speaks of the importance of each individual's listening technique and how it goes hand in hand with how people like to receive presentations and what they take away from them. Something interesting the article mentioned was that some people fear communication more than disease or death, which I though was a bit exaggerated but perhaps true for some individuals.
