UNMUL Holds the Workshop of Free Form Course Preparation

The Merdeka Belajar Team at the Kampus Merdeka at Mulawarman University (UNMUL) held a Free Form Course Preparation Workshop which was held on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at the Ballroom of the Midtown Hotel Samarinda. The event itself was attended by the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Ir. Mustofa Agung Sardjono, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni Affairs, Dr. Ir. Encik Akhmad Syaifudin, MP, Head of LP3M, Prof. Dr. Lambang Subagiyo, M.Si, Study Program Coordinators and Head of the Departments who attended online and offline.

As Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Dr. Sudarman, M.Pd said that on this occasion it was an important moment for the Study Program Coordinators to understand and at the same time be an actor in conveying what Free Form Courses are, whose roles must also be known by the Vice Deans 1 and 3 of each faculty, respectively. “There were about 128 written invitations, but as far as I know there were around 160 people who wished to join this event. There was really great enthusiasm from all Study Programs at Mulawarman University," he explained. Lastly, Dr. Sudarman quotes a good sentence, don't waste today by worrying about tomorrow.

The Rector of UNMUL, who in this case was represented by the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Ir. Mustofa Agung Sardjono, at the same time who opened the event, said that the MBKM program or Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka is a big challenge for universities or colleges. "We are required to convey the right of students to gain knowledge and experience in the MBKM program with a fairly large number of 60 credits divided into three semesters," said Prof. Agung.

In addition, in this UNMUL Free Form Course Preparation Workshop held on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 there was also the delivery of the first material entitled Conversion and Credit Equivalence Policy for MBKM Activities at UNMUL by Prof. Dr. Ir. Mustofa Agung Sardjono and the second material with the title Free Form Course delivered by Dr. Sudarman, M.Pd.
