“Seminar Day aims to help students of the 2018 class prepare their research. The lecturers will explain step by step how students submit the theme to be researched for their thesis,” Ida said.
Puji Hariyanti, also a lecturer who guides students in determining research, said that Seminar Proposal is not something scary, and can always be done. She also said that students should look for as much data as possible before discussing with their respective lecturers.
Students can choose which lecturers guide their proposals. They should look for issues related to their preferences, discuss with lecturers, then formulate ideas. The submitted outline contains the background of why it is important to research, research purposes, determine the theory to be used, and research methods.
First Experience for IP Students
According to International Program of Communication/ IPC 2018 students, Sheila Jasmine, Seminar Day is very helpful for them in determining their research. IPC 2018 students are greatly helped by the answers of lecturers who tell them what they need to do to make research. Before attending the Seminar Day, they did not know what to do for their research.
“After joining the Seminar Day, it turns out that the lecturer calmed us not to be burdened, by telling us what steps we should take,” said Sheila, a student of IPC 2018.
Sheila also said that with Seminar Day, she has a lot of considerations to make research.
Just like Nadira Muthia, a student of IPC 2018, she felt helped by Mr. Nara’s explanation. Nadira also has a lot of pictures for her research because the lecturers are very open to discussion.
“The lecturers are also active in Q&A, so I feel helped by their answers, and the questions asked by friends are also very helpful,” Nadira said on Wednesday (3/2).
