After the speech from the Rector, the Head of LAMDIK Assessors, Dr. Drs. Sulisetijono, M.Si, also gave a speech. He emphasized that the main purpose of the arrival of the assessor team was to confirm what had been written in the Self Evaluation Report (LED). "We come to confirm what has been written in the LED so you don't need to be tense," said Dr. Sulisetijono, trying to ease the tension among the assessment participants. During the two days of implementation, the assessors from LAMDIK conducted various evaluation activities, including document review, observation of facilities and infrastructure, and interviews with lecturers, students, and education staff. This assessment aims to ensure that the Biology Education Study Program at Unram meets the standards set by LAMDIK and continues to improve the quality of education provided. With a more rigorous process, it is expected that this assessment can provide a clear picture of the strengths and areas that need to be improved in the Biology Education Study Program. The results of this assessment are expected to bring this study program to achieve superior accreditation, strengthening Unram's position as a quality higher education institution. This field assessment event emphasizes Unram's commitment in maintaining and improving the quality of education. It is expected that graduates of the Biology Education Study Program have high competence and quality, in accordance with the needs and development of the times.(fu)
