Department of Communication of School of Languages and Communication Studies Successfully Holds the First Lecture of the “Senior Students’ Sharing Series”. On the evening of June 2, the Department of Communication of the School of Languages and Communication Studies successfully held the first lecture of the “Senior Students’ Sharing Series”, a specialized session on postgraduate entrance examinations. Delivered through online live streaming, the lecture invited five students admitted in 2019 who had successfully passed the postgraduate entrance exam to share their experiences in aspects such as choosing a university, review preparation, and mental state adjustment, providing practical suggestions for students currently preparing for the exam. Targeting students majoring in Communication and Online and New Media admitted in 2020, the lecture was hosted by Wang Tian, a young teacher from the Department of Communication. Zhong Qihang, a graduate admitted in 2019 from the Online and New Media major who was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University, shared her experiences from multiple perspectives including personal background, university selection, and specific review plans. She provided effective and practical insights for the students regarding timelines, gains and losses from experience, study schedules, and exam question trends. She described her postgraduate exam preparation as a fulfilling and joyful journey, and also shared effective ways to relieve stress, encouraging students to maintain a relaxed state of mind and face challenges with confidence. Ye Yuyan, a student admitted in 2019 from the Communication major, delivered a sharing themed “Perseverance Creates Miracles”, introducing her postgraduate exam experiences in terms of university selection, time management, and mental adjustment. She emphasized two small habits, following high-quality WeChat official accounts and analyzing academic papers, and shared the materials and information she had accumulated. She encouraged students to make decisions carefully, stating, “Persist in the right direction, and you will surely reap the rewards.” Tan Jiayue, another student admitted in 2019 from the Online and New Media major, highlighted the importance of determination based on her own experiences. Initially, she planned to study abroad due to the perceived pressure of the postgraduate exam, but ultimately decided to take the exam after comprehensive consideration of various factors. She emphasized the need for clear goals and sufficient motivation, urging students to stay firm in their decisions and forge ahead on the chosen path. She also advised students to make reasonable plans by comprehensively evaluating their own abilities, the difficulty level of target universities, and the remaining review time. Li Sijia, a student admitted in 2019 from the Online and New Media major who successfully switched majors to pursue a postgraduate degree in Library and Information Science at Nanjing University, shared her cross-major exam experiences. She explained how to make the most suitable choice by combining personal interests with practical circumstances, and how to formulate detailed review plans tailored to the chosen major. She also recommended courses she had taken, offering students more options for their preparation. Wu Kunchun, a student admitted in 2019 from the Online and New Media major, shared in detail her tortuous journey of hesitation between multiple paths, including postgraduate recommendation without examination, postgraduate entrance exam, and civil service exam. Using a mind map, she clearly explained the specific processes and details of university selection for the postgraduate entrance examination from four aspects, namely preliminary exam, re-examination, training class enrollment, and graduate program adjustment. She explained in simple terms how to find the most suitable university that maximizes personal value under limited conditions. After the wonderful sharing sessions, students actively raised questions in the comment section. The five senior students patiently responded based on their own experiences, unreservedly sharing their methods of information acquisition and the decision-making process when facing important choices. As the first lecture of the “Senior Students’ Sharing Series”, this event received an enthusiastic response. In the future, it will continue to address students’ actual needs, with three thematic lectures focusing on postgraduate recommendation without examination, studying abroad, and employment, aiming to provide students with more practical and useful advice for their further studies and career development.
