i had to take public speaking as a requirement several years ago. i can honestly say i did NOT get better at it by the end. every single day of that semester was absolute dread.
my advice as someone whose anxiety is at the bad end of the spectrum; don't worry about your grade, and put exactly the amount of effort into the class to maximize your comfort with the situation. it's a gen.ed course. it doesn't matter. if you are going into photography or engineering or most any field, a company is not going to be concerned about one public speaking course.
don't be hard on yourself.
