Time\nflies! Now we are approaching the year end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\na second-year master student who takes research seminar this semester, master\nthesis and Christmas holiday make up the last month of my 2020. Regarding the\nresearch seminar, participating in and coordinating with everything course\nrelated online is something new and of course challenging. However, 11.12\nprobably marks the happiest day for many of us as it is the end of our last\noral defense session as well as the seminar course. I cannot wait to share the\nmemorable experience including struggle, excitement and happiness during the\njourney from my own perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due\nto the constrained regulations, the course was held online including\npresentations, discussions, as well as contact with supervisors. I found it is not\neasy to keep track of the process without having on-site lectures on a regular\nbasis. There were two weeks that I felt unmotivated and suffered from anxiety,\nso I ended up making no progress in my thesis. Then my friend from the same\nmajor dropped me a line and we started keeping in touch with each other since\nthen. We share not only latest findings or inspirations of our topics, but also\nour concerns or struggles with the experimental study. Besides keeping each\nother updated, another way to make the online seminar course more interesting\nis to participate actively in other students\u2019 oral defense. Through the\ndiscussion, presenter could get some inspirations from the audience while\ndiscussant could learn something meaningful from the educational paper and\nprestation. Moreover, the brainstorm would also provide you with new ideas regarding\nyour own study or even inspire you somehow in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the intense seminar course, many of us could finally take a small break from the essay and enjoy a relaxing vacation. While finalizing this article, I am on my way to the northern part of Finland. While trees in the south is still green, the ones in the north are covered with thick snow. Even though the whole drive will take more than 8 hours, I am quite enjoying the journey as the breathtaking view outside never fails to surprise me. This will be my first trip to northern Finland and I am 100% percent sure it will become a memorable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
