In addition to publications, they have also produced 19 patents or simple patents, 3 intellectual property rights (IPR), and 4 books with ISBNs as other outputs. Publications published by lecturers have received 367 citations in Scopus and 544 citations in Google Scholar .

The learning process in the Chemistry Master’s Program is carried out through face-to-face meetings and laboratory activities. Face-to-face learning is carried out through interactive lectures/talks by lecturers, presentations and discussions by students, independent assignments, and group assignments. Learning through laboratory activities includes conducting research, seminars (proposals and research results), and writing scientific articles (publications). The interactive lecture learning method is carried out using interactive presentation media such as interactive PPT ( hyperlinks to audio-visual media such as YouTube) and LCD and Smart- TV display media (>50 inches). Learning with the interactive lecture method is an innovative way from lecturers to make lectures more interesting so that students are more enthusiastic in learning and better understand the lecture material being studied.

All courses are equipped with a RPS whose format refers to the higher education curriculum development guidebook that includes learning outcomes, study materials, learning methods, time and stages as well as the course assessment system. The RPS is delivered by the lecturer in charge of the course at the beginning of each semester. Learning materials are planned and delivered in 14 meetings outside of the mid-term and final exams in each semester. The learning methods implemented by the course lecturer are in accordance with the descriptions in the RPS which can be accessed by students at any time via https://kulon2.undip.ac.id/ , MS Team and https://siap.undip.ac.id/ . Learning resources in the study program are available online on the online chemistry master’s degree website (via Kulon-Undip: https://kulon2.undip.ac.id/ ) and a reading/discussion room that has a collection of theses and dissertations spread across five laboratories. Students can access a wide range of learning resources through the provided internet access. In accordance with Undip’s Academic Regulations, Article 30, lectures can be held either face-to-face or online. Provisions regarding the implementation of these lectures will be further regulated through the Rector’s Regulations, which will be issued at the beginning of the semester.

The assessment process in the Chemistry Master’s Program is carried out with the aim of assessing students’ abilities in certain courses in order to fulfill the study program’s graduate learning outcomes (CPL). An explanation for each assessment process is outlined as follows. The assessment of student learning outcomes aims to measure the achievement of competencies set by the study program in a course. Assessment of students’ abilities in certain courses can be carried out using various methods in accordance with the provisions in the RPS (Semester Learning Plan) for the course. The assessment method follows the rules at the Faculty level, except for the thesis which will be regulated separately at the Study Program level through the Chemistry Master’s Thesis Preparation Guidebook .

Course assessment components include midterm exams, final exams, plus written assignments, seminar assignments, and literature review assignments according to course requirements. Course assessment components are inputted online by the lecturer in the Academic Information System (SIAP) of Diponegoro University, including: Assignments (can be quizzes, independent assignments, group assignments, presentations, or others), Practicum (for courses that have practical activities in them), Midterm Exams (UTS), and Final Exams (UAS) with a predetermined percentage and delivered to students at the beginning of the lecture. UTS and UAS are conducted on a scheduled basis according to the schedule set by the Faculty of Science and Mathematics. For courses with parallel classes, scheduled UTS and UAS questions are attempted to be the same for all parallel classes.

The UAS can only be followed by students who have attended lectures/learning activities at least 75% as stated in PERAK Article 35 Paragraph 9. The final grade given to students for a course at the end of each semester is in the form of a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or E. The letter grade is then converted into a weighted value to calculate the Semester Achievement Index (IPS) which states the level of success of students for all courses taken in a semester, as stipulated in PERAK Article 35. In addition to assessment through the learning process in class/lab, study programs can also recognize courses that are equivalent to other MBKM activities, following the guidelines determined by the study program in the Sub-chapter on Implementation of the Right to Freedom to Learn. Evaluation of Learning Outcomes Evaluation of Learning Outcomes is carried out in stages against the achievement of the Cumulative Achievement Index (IPK) to determine the student’s ability to continue studying. IPK shows the student’s ability from the beginning of the semester to a certain time period obtained by the student, which is calculated in the same way as IPS.

Quality Assurance at the study program level is carried out through a satisfaction survey of the implementation of Learning conducted by Master’s Program Students. The survey results are then subjected to direct dialogue between students and the master’s program managers and the heads of research interests. Quality assurance is carried out internally and externally. Internal quality assurance is carried out at both the university, faculty, and study program levels. Diponegoro University has an Academic Quality Assurance Information System (SIPMA) which was created as a means of documenting the results of the Internal Audit Evaluation of Academic Quality (AIMA) data. Evaluation of Learning Outcomes is carried out every semester and online Accreditation Monitoring. SIPMA is managed by the Institute for Development and Quality Assurance (LP2MP) of Diponegoro University and can be accessed at http://sipma.undip.ac.id . Diponegoro University through LP2MP also regularly organizes Technical Guidance Activities aimed at Heads of Study Programs (Kaprodi) and Academic Admins/Operators within Diponegoro University. This activity aims to provide insight, as well as discussions and questions and answers regarding the academic quality assurance system at Diponegoro University. The audit system has been implemented online, allowing real-time audit data viewing, which will undoubtedly be of significant benefit to improving academic quality, particularly within the study programs themselves.

Faculty-level quality assurance is carried out by the Faculty Quality Assurance Team (TPMF) each semester. The Chemistry Master’s Program is required to complete a form in the SIPMA application regarding the learning process that has occurred each semester. In addition, quality assurance at the study program level is carried out by the Quality Control Group (GPM) at the end of each semester. This team is tasked with gathering input from lecturers and students regarding academic and non-academic issues.

External quality assurance is carried out by the national accreditation body, the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT). The curriculum quality assurance system follows the PPEPP cycle (Determination, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement) as follows:

1. Curriculum determination , the Chemistry Master’s Study Program prepares a curriculum every 5 years, which is then approved by the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics. The curriculum is prepared by determining the qualifications of the study program’s educational profile/objectives, CPL, courses and their weights, and an integrated curriculum structure.

2. Curriculum implementation , Curriculum implementation is in the form of a learning process organized by the Chemistry Master’s Study Program. The learning process is carried out by paying attention to the achievement of CPL, both for graduates (CPL), CP at the MK level (CPMK) or CP at each stage of learning in lectures (Sub-CPMK). The learning process is carried out by referring to the RPS which pays attention to the achievement of CPL at the level

3. Curriculum evaluation : The Chemistry Master’s Program conducts a curriculum evaluation to improve the sustainability of curriculum implementation. The evaluation is conducted in two stages:

a. Formative evaluation by taking into account the achievement of CPL. Achievement of CPL is carried out through the achievement of CPMK and SubCPMK, which are stipulated in the Curriculum Book and RPS. Evaluation also includes the form of learning, learning methods, assessment methods, RPS, and supporting learning tools.

b. Summative evaluation is conducted by involving internal and external stakeholders, tracer study results, discussions with alumni and alumni users, and reviews by chemistry experts. This evaluation is conducted periodically every five years.

4. Control : The Chemistry Master’s Program conducts curriculum control every semester, using the results of measuring the achievement of CPL as an indicator. Curriculum control is also monitored and assisted by quality assurance units/institutions at the faculty and university levels.

5. Improvement: The Chemistry Master’s Program is improving its curriculum based on the results of both formative and summative curriculum evaluations. This improvement is intended to produce graduates with higher-quality competencies, adapting to technological developments in the field of Computer Science/Chemistry Master’s.
