SARASEHAN EDCOM 2014

            (5/23/2014) EDCOM tried to hold “Sarasehan” event which was attended by the lecturers and the students of English Department UNS. This event that was exactly started at 09.30 am was deliberated for discussing more about “what lecturers want” and “what students want”. Sarasehan tried to discuss about the problems around the study and also to know about the perception between lectures and students. They can say everything here to make a clarification. Hopefully that lecturers or students can find their solution for the better English Department.

            Sarasehan was opened successfully by MC in the seminar room, building 3. Then, there was greeting from our head of English Department, Mr. Agus Hari Wibowo. He said about the vision and mission of the English Department. He also gave us many advices and recommendations. “English Department students should have a lot of achievements in major literature, linguistic, translation, American studies both international and national” he said. Mr Agus Hari Wibowo also takes big expectation to his students that they can graduate from college on time with stock of skill from here.

            Approximately at 10.00 am, it was the turn of students to give feed back to the lecturers. They said about the problem in study. Firstly, the student from 2012 asked question about transparency of the grades. Students want the lectures to be transparent about the grades, so students can know and learn more about their mistakes. Then, students from 2011 and 2010 also asked question to the lecturers about the apprenticeship program in English Department. They wanted English Department UNS pay more attention when giving information about it. They also shared their experience when they’re training in new place.  

            The conversation between lecturers and students was running well. Mr. Agus D Priyanto also helped to answer their student’s questions. “In training program or apprenticeship program, it should be a credible place. Then, students must project their specialization in training program. So, it can’t be useless experience for students.” He said. Some students from 2013 also asked about their problem, and the lecturers—Mr. Budi Waskito and Mrs. Ardianna Nuraeni tried to give them answer.

            Sarasehan was still continuing until 11.30 am. There were a lot of questions that have been answered by the lecturers. Finally, between lecturers and students can know each other and solve the problem one by one. As we hope, there’s no wrong perception if everybody wants to discuss about their problem.
