Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Asked advisor to be my referee, she’s asking me what to write in the reference

My advisor agreed to write a reference for me for a postgrad course and is asking me to give her some things that I’d like her to include, but as dumb as it sounds... I have no clue. Aside from the usual “she has good time management, perseverant” etc, I don’t know what specific examples to give. I’ve only ever met her like 4 times for brief catch-up meetings. She’s never seen me in action in labs or lectures or anything. The course I’m applying for is design oriented, and I don’t think that it’d make sense for her to write about my “artistic capabilities” or anything like that?
