The lecture took place in the circular meeting roon G17W, lasted about 1.5 hours and attracted more than 70 attendants from all years of UG and PGs. Audience feedback was very positive.
The iStaff program successfully takes the lead of the students in the areas they feel the most confident in and challenges them in their weaker areas. Students work in teams, tap into each other’s strengths, and strive to get the projects done.
Our associate librarian Linlin Lu gave a speech to our students, which named Photoshop Text Effects Training for Beginners. The lecture was successfully held at 2pm on 10th May, and attracted more than 30 students. Audience feedback was very positive.
We always invite skilled staff to share their knowledge with our students, for example we had another associate librarian Min WANG gave a lecture on the basic use of Excel last semester, and we had Linlin this semester. Through this way, not only we provide various and diverse choices to students to obtain skills and knowledge, but we also urge our staff to enhance themselves.
