Most of our monographic report was preceded at home in the winter vacation by using the Internet. And then we applied a space in the Internet to store the data that we collected.
4. Problems We Had To Overcome
At the beginning, we were not very familiar with the process. Thus, we confronted a lot of problems with things, like processing images, collecting information, producing animated pictures and so on. Among all these staff, interviewing with Professor Hsu is the mission impossible because he had passed out two years ago. Apart from that, we only had some references; those materials were not enough for us. To overcome those difficulties, we figured out another way to interview with Professor Hsu’s students. Through interviewing with his students, we not only solved the problems of collecting data but also led us to see this project with a new scope to continue our job. Thanks to our efforts, finally we finished the project.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
In this report, we got a valuable experience of the importance of team work. However, it is so pity that we can’t meet the goal that we had expected. Due to the time limited, we deleted several parts of our projects. Nevertheless, we still did our best and made this project to be perfect. No matter what the results will be, the most cherish experience is that we learned the importance of Taiwanese traditional music and a great celebrity, Professor Hsu Tsang-houei.
