The only time I get panic attacks is in front of large crowds when I'm speaking or when I used to perform. My voice breaks, I start stuttering and losing my train of thought, and then the shakes and shortness of breath kicks in. I'm lucky enough to only have panic attacks in public speaking situations, because I can avoid them and couldn't imagine just having my daily life interrupted like a lot of people. I feel sorry for them.

Alright, I am really bad at public speaking/presenting too- I often end up crying or blanking out- and I completely sympathize with the girl, but let's face it- if OP's teacher isn't very understanding, OP's mark might go down as well if something goes wrong and it won't even be their fault. So I definitely see why they're complaining- I wouldn't call them selfish just because they're concerned about how it would affect them. Try to be understanding and help her through it OP, and don't stress her out too much, and hopefully you'll do alright. Good luck to both of you!

Get over yourself, first.

How is making her feel bad going to help anything

Go learn what a panic attack is you insensitive ass.

And once you're done heeding Pleonasm's advice and getting over yourself, how about getting to know what you're talking about?

You, or at least I (in North America) can't get an IEP for mental illnesses. I do have one, which is why I know what you're saying, but often your brain and mental abilities contradict any mental illness. The girl in question may be a very bright young woman, which could explain if the professor hasn't got a lot of sympathy for her. In school, my IEP labels me as being intellectually gifted, and my teachers occasionally would give me a break on things that trigger my anxiety, but they don't understand it, or know how to deal with it in intellectually gifted people for the most part. I believe they think that because you get good marks, or do well on tests, speaking in front of a class shouldn't be a problem, and for the most part, they tell you to just get over it, which in my case, makes things worse. I really hope in my area they will implement IEPs for mental illness like anxiety disorder though. I know it would take a lot of pressure off some of my acquaintances, and really improve their marks, not to mention help to lower their risk of anxiety attacks triggered by having to speak/preform in front of their peers/

Of course his life sucks, he has to do a presentation with someone that sucks at it. That it also sucks for her doesn't mean it doesn't suck for him.
