Bachelor of English (BoE) study program conducted an online meeting on Monday, February 14th 2022. The meeting was attended by 156 students of 2018 academic year. The meeting was led by the Coordinator of BoE, Dr. I Wayan Mulyawan, S.S., M.Hum and it was aimed to motivate the students to complete their study on time. BoE has prepared a strategic plan so that all of its students can go through all the final stages of education in the undergraduate program. All study programs in Udayana University have a target of graduates on time as stated in the Main Performance Indicators (IKU).

In the occasion, the Coordinator of BoE explained some strategies that the students can apply in order to be graduated on time. In his presentation, Dr. Mulyawan emphasized that BoE is ready to help the students administratively. In addition, some strategies in completing undergraduate thesis as well as having good communication with supervisors are needed.

“Your on-time graduation is one of BoE’s targets. Therefore, I am expecting that at least 80% of this cohort of students will be graduated on time. It is certain that it is not an easy work to do and it needs your motivation and determination, especially in completing your undergraduate thesis. Though you have passed the proposal examination, do not let your guard down, on the contrary you have to be more focus in completing your undergraduate thesis”, said Dr. Mulyawan to the students who attended the meeting.

Communication is the Key of Success

Final semester students who are in the midst of completing their undergraduate thesis often feel reluctant in keeping communication with their supervisors. This often become the main reason of why those students are left behind. BoE’s Coordinator emphasized that final semester students need to keep in touch with their supervisors so that the supervising process can run well.

“Communication is the main key for students in completing their undergraduate thesis, especially with the supervisors. Later on, you can make a group consisting of those who have the same supervisors, make a list of the members, then submit it to your supervisors. The purpose is to let you supervisors know your number. So far, many students do not contact his or her supervisors, so that the supervisors do not know the progress of their students”, said Dr. Mulyawan to the attendee.

If permitted by the supervisors, students who have the same supervisors can create a Whatsapp Group so that communication and monitoring between supervisors and students will be easier to conduct.

An affirmation on the importance of maintaining communication with supervisors was expressed by Dr. Seri Malini, M.Hum. as the representative of the lecturers. Undergraduate thesis is a joint project of lecturer and student. “I just want to underline what our Coordinator has explained. Undergraduate thesis is a joint project between you and your supervisor. In the supervising process, please pay attention to suggestions given by your supervisors”, said Dr. Seri Malini.

Dr. Seri Malini also showed the results of the monitoring and evaluation that had been carried out on students who are preparing their undergraduate thesis. Various obstacles were faced by the students. The results of the monitoring and evaluation shows that the main factor that is needed by students to complete their undergraduate thesis is nothing but the student’s motivation and determination.

The meeting was continued with an explanation regarding undergraduate thesis administration process by staff of the academic affairs, Mr. I Komang Juniarta, S.T. He explained the administrative steps in details, starts from completing undergraduate thesis administrations to graduation, all steps that must be undergone by students. The discussion session between the students and BoE’s coordinator concluded the meeting.
