BANDUNG, unpas.ac.id – Getting into the new semester of 2022/2023 academic year, Universitas Pasundan starts to apply for offline learning process.
The offline learning starts on Monday, 12 September 2022. Hybrid learning method is still applied to facilitate students who cannot attend the offline learning course.
It was stated by Unpas Vice Rector I Prof. Dr. H. Jaja Suteja, M.Si. He said that hybrid learning method is still applied with a more dynamic composition.
“The Standard Operational Procedure of hybrid learning process has been already written; therefore, the offline learning process is still prioritized for the first-semester student. We blend it with online learning, but it situational,” he explained.
All academic civitas are urged to prioritize for their health, safety and apply for strict health protocol. Students are also required to get parents’ approval, be in a good health condition and not have a co-morbid symptom.
Activities that have the potential to cause crowds and close contact, such as canteens and extracurricular activities, have not been allowed to be active again.
The implementation of hybrid learning process is prioritized for curricular activities, laboratory practice, research, community service, as well as courses with discussion, deepening of material, and intense discussions that cannot be optimized online.
“The goal is to achieve the learning targets that have been determined in the curriculum. Hybrid learning process will be monitored and evaluated according to the records of the person in charge of activities in each faculty and department,” he continued.
Referring to the Odd Semester Academic Calendar for the 2022/2023 academic year, the odd semester teachers are divided into two stages with a total of 14 meetings, plus mid-semester and final-semester test. Odd Semester courses will take place and time on September 12-October 29, 2022.
Odd Semester learning process will be held on November 14-December 31, 2022. Meanwhile, for new students, the learning process for the odd semester will start on October 10, 2022.
Monitoring of first day of offline learning process
In line with the use of SITU 2.0, the Institution for the Development and Management of Information and Communication Technology (Lembaga Pengembangan dan Pengelolaan Teknologi Informasi and Komunikasi, LP2TIK) monitors the beginning of odd semester courses.
PIC of SITU 2.0 M. Tirta Mulia, S.T., M.T., said that this year, Unpas began to switch to SITU 2.0 for all academic purposes.
“Few faculties which have held short-term semester have also implemented on the 2.0 SITU, but only for few students and teachers. So, we hold a monitoring session activity to support any kind of troubles happened in the field or in the faculty. We try to take the examples on what happened in USM (students’ selection test) and be applied in the learning courses,” he said.
In the previous system, this kind of monitoring session activity has never been applied before, since both teachers’ and students’ literacy of the system has already been built. The plan is, monitoring session activity will be held regularly every beginning of new semester.
“Later, the irregular teacher who only teaches in even semester will be accommodated. The use of new system is not only for efficiency, but also for supporting the more effective learning process,” he concluded. (Reta)**
