Skipping Presentation
Hi there
I have a presentation assignment due on Thursday worth 30% of my grade however I will be changing Universities soon as classes finish next week and due to my presentation anxiety and the disruptive strikes during teaching times. Will there be any large long term consequences? I'm still planning on submitting my other assignments but I would like to miss this presentation

If you are switching into the 2nd year of a similar degree at another university, usually the requirements of that offer will be contingent on you passing your first year. Check the conditions of your entry to the 2nd year of the other course. If you think you can skip the presentation and still pass, that's your call to make... personally I'd probably do it anyway and accept it just wouldn't be my best work. Some marks > 0 marks.

I have already been accepted into my new uni and I will be restarting as a first year so any credits from now won't be counted into it as I won't be entering as a 2nd year

There is still benefit to passing your first year as it would entitle you to a Certificate of Higher Education. It counts as an additional qualification and may be useful for future employability etc. But you only need to pass to get your CertHE

Get drunk before, I’m being fr. Gave one of my presentations borderline blackout drunk and it was one of the highest grades I’ve got this year
Have you spoken to your doctor about your anxiety? They might be able to help with something temporary to reduce your symptoms so you can get through it.
Given that you don’t NEED to pass it’s essentially a golden opportunity to give a presentation with zero risk. You won’t see these people again and the mark doesn’t matter so you might as well try. If you pass then your cv will look better- and you’ll have the confidence boost in future that you are capable of passing a presentation.
In my experience it’s pretty difficult to fail a presentation at level 4. Have your script written out so you can read it out in a monotone if needed - I know people who passed level 6 (3rd year) presentation assignments reading in a monotone and not making any eye contact with the class.
