Field of study – Journalism
Profile – International journalism

From working with Tsao Ching I was left with a mixed impression.
On the one hand, in the first half of the period of work on master's thesis Tsao Ching has proved himself as a motivated, hard-working, independent, proactive and thoughtful researcher, who, despite the difficulties associated with fluency in the Russian language when writing scientific text, demonstrated a good understanding of the topic, a good the possession of conceptual apparatus and the ability to grasp the smallest nuances and details of matters, which reflected positively on the contents of the first part of the paper, which was prepared long before the scheduled date. 
I know Tsao Ching for  two years. From the beginning of her studying as a Master she was interested in communications in the field of international relations, and the idea to turn to the study of the specifics of the flow of international news in Chinese media came to her after writing two term papers on similar problems. 
On the other hand, in the second half of the period of preparation of the dissertation research, the student began to be lazy – she didn't respond to the comments, sent the uncorrected text, unwillingly contacted. The main problem was the language.
As a result she presented the paper, which potential could be one of the best, but in reality was not more than satisfactory. 
And this despite the fact that Tsao Ching in February have provided a working version of a thesis, but, unfortunately, to bring it to the desired state she never came out.
However, during the study the student actively participated in social and scientific life of the university and even published a thesis on the topic of her dissertation.
In general, do not have the ability to describe the collaboration with Tsao Ching as fruitful, but a lot of work on the undergraduate thesis was carried out, and the text with which I, as supervisor, had the opportunity to see, is of interest both from theoretical and practical points of view.
