Dr. Tris was one of my lecturers who made a strong impression on my studies during Semester 1. She comes from Wales. She is very kind and has good way of teaching the units in Master of Creative Enterprise program. Following her direction, I knew not only how to take on many kinds of assignments in University, but also how to manage my studies effectively.
Arts Research and Communication in Creative Industries were two units I studied with Dr. Tris in Semester 1. The latter was divided into three small assignments: one presentation, one case study and one analytical paper. Even though all of these were new with me, I could easily finish all three assignments and achieve good marks by following Tris’s direction.
However, Arts Research was the more difficult unit for me. There was only a single large assignment requiring up to 5000 words, which I’ve never undertaken before. Step-by-step, Tris guided me with advice on how to choose my research question, plan my research and choose my research methods. Particularly, the Literature Review and the Research Analysis were two most difficult parts, which we took many hours to discuss. By studying with her during Semester 1, I could understand what primary and secondary research was and how to conduct a survey or do an interview as support for my research. With Tris, she understood that this was the first time I’ve had to write such a large assignment, so she answered any questions I had. With her help, I managed to achieve a good mark for this subject.
I finished the first semester with good results for all three of my subjects. Now, with the knowledge I’ve received from Tris, I can confidently bring research into my study. Hopefully, in the next semester, I will have a chance to study with Dr. Tris again - one very nice teacher I know.
