Students can choose courses according to their interests and in accordance with their thesis. Students can apply through the SIAT system, management process, and online learning process. This facilitates monitoring and evaluation and gives students easy access to learning. At the beginning of each semester, students are required to fill out a Study Plan Card (KRS). This must be approved by the person in charge of the program. The curriculum process, learning process, as well as evaluation and evaluation are all done online through the SIAT (Integrated Academic Information System) system. In the learning process, universities follow a hybrid learning policy, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Students can still take lectures online and asynchronously during the pandemic. In online learning, Unpad’s LiVE system and Google Classroom are used as a medium of communication and interaction with students. To assess the learning success of each course, student assessments are carried out during the lecture process, covering the fields of cognition, psychomotor, and emotion. Assessment can be in the form of a portfolio or an assessment rubric.
At the end of each semester, students will be surveyed to evaluate the learning process carried out with the supervisor. This is done to solicit input and feedback from students. This will be of great help in improving and developing future courses and learning methods. Each teacher is responsible for implementing the Tridharma of Higher Education, including Education, Research and Community Service. Through various external and internal research grants (Unpad-HIU Internal Grants), all instructors are required to study according to the roadmap. All HIU within the educational staff are required to involve undergraduate, doctoral and doctoral students in their implementation. It aims to make it easier for students to do research which is the final project to get a degree. The instructor’s clear research roadmap aims to achieve quality student research and facilitate student publication in international journals prior to the final session. Graduates must be able to learn solutions to existing problems using an interdisciplinary approach. Graduates are expected to be able to stand out in the world of work, according to their abilities and disciplines. In addition, the academic atmosphere with various seminars and regular lectures by visiting lecturers from home and abroad should provide graduates with insight and skills for their further professional development.
