Interesting, because when I received my pre-req sheet thats lists what you need/are missing at my interview, my speech requirement was filled. I took Interpersonal Communication.
Getting out of public speaking is harder than ANYTHING else. I have taken MANY chemistry and biology seminar classes where all I do is TALK to my class and professors about my research...And even that isn't enough to get me out of public speaking!!! I am taking it as we speak.🙁
