Dr. Tseng divided her lecture into three parts including “who is Dr. Ying Lee Tseng”, “The General of Thesis Writing” and “What is Plagiarism?”. In the first part, students fully understood who the speaker was, and was very interested in her background. Regardless of her educational background, career, or political views, she had vast experience to share and provided practical suggestions to students. 

In the second part, the main topic was  “Thesis Writing”, and she shared some experiences from her Ph.D. studies such as how to find the topic, how to get the resource, and how to organize the information. The last part is about plagiarism, this was an important issue for writing a thesis, therefore Dr. Tseng spent more time explaining and letting students ask questions. She hoped that students can learn more from her through this lecture. 

At the end of the lecture, Dr. Tseng gave the students some words, she said “Writing Thesis is very tough, so you have to be patient and always positive. If you are tired, go somewhere to take a rest. Pay attention to what you have learned in the process, you don’t need to rush for the results.” In the end,  a group photo was taken to commemorate the event.
