I would recommend having focal points in the back beyond the people to the right, left and center that you make eye contact with that gives the appearance of eye contact with the audience. This will help ease anxiety. Also, having practice and have as much of a structured presentation possible will help. Just remember, like Chocolatl mentioned...a LOT of people have the same difficulty giving presentations that you do, even in your same class. Starting with a small group and moving into a larger one might help, too. Most importantly...have fun with your presentation. If you have fun with it (throw in a few jokes, get audience participation by asking questions, etc) it will feel more comfortable.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
