Meanwhile, Korprodi PS History Education, Melisa Prawitasari expressed her gratitude for the activities facilitated by this faculty. “Alhamdulillah, we from the History Education Study Program have filled in the data in the FKIP version of the SAR file requested by the UPM, although it is not 100% full because we still need supporting evidence for the data. Thank you to the UPM and the faculty for facilitating the FGD for the preparation of this SAR file. As stated by WD 2, the purpose of this FGD is so that the SAR file is filled in, even though it is not 100% for later review by the narrators from Bengkulu University, “he said.
Melisa also stated that the direction and explanation from the head of UPM when filling out the SAR was very clear. This clear direction made her team together with teams from other PSs able to reach a common perception regarding data content or format so that it is hoped that the data filling is correct. (admin)
