Do you want to get an A in this class, not just a certificate of completion, which anyone can get just by having the videos go by. But if you really want to get something out of this class, you might as well get the full advantage of working with me. Now, people hate to say that sounds like a bragging, but people pay a lot of money, to have me spend a day with them in person to critique their speeches, I'm now willing to do that for you at no extra cost, which you're going to have to do though is record your presentation on video. And then once you have one that you think is great that you think is the best it can be, and you come across as interesting, lifelike, not frozen, or stiff or any of that, then upload it to YouTube and put the URL into the discussion group.
I will watch your video and I will give you my own professional critique. I can tell you right now, far less than one out of 1000 students takes me up on it. So don't Worry about taking up too much of my time. Few people do that. But if you want to really get far over that hump of a beginner, because if you've gotten this far through the course and done what I've asked, you're already at intermediate or above, but if you want to really guarantee it, then take advantage of this. It's amazing to me how few people do that here on this platform.
But record yourself on video, upload it and I'll give you a critique
