There are no other assignments.  All you have to do is sit down and write a 500 word document about your position on a subject, then read it in front of a camera.  

For the second video, change a handful of words to stuffier, more collegiate-sounding ones, print out an 8.5x11 visual aid (monochrome is fine) that is at least tangentially related to your subject, and hold it up once or twice.  Oh, and brush any Cheetos dust off your shirt before you start.

I put Public Speaking off for the essentially the same reasons you described and when it was over I realized that, in comparison to pretty much any other college course I've ever taken, it was a stroll down a tree-lined promenade with a fine lady and a white poodle.

Thank you. I'm still dreading it, but it helps a lot to know that someone just like me got through it OK.   Blush
