Rules on supervision process
It is obligatory for the student of the Geophysics Department to finalize his study through a final assignment research, i.e. the Tugas Akhir (TA). In order to perform the research a student must be supervised by at least one academic supervisor. A co-supervisor and/or a field-supervisor can be appointed if necessary. The Head of the Department together with the Chief of the Study Program assigns the academic supervisor, as well as the thesis examiners, according to the topic of the research, the expertise of the staff, and the academic activity loads. The letter of assignment will be issued by the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The letter is effective within the running semester and may be prolonged if necessary.
Prior to the TA research activities, a student must perform a proposal seminar. In order to do that, the student must do consultations with the tentative supervisor. Every academic staff should allocate sufficient time for any student to do the consultation. The proposal is submitted to the administration of the study program in order to be listed in seminaries. The administration staff determines the seminar schedule at the beginning of the semester to give time for the student to effectively perform his/her research activities. After the seminar, the supervisor can be assigned.
Upon being assigned as a supervisor, it is obligatory for the academic staff to conduct the supervision activities. The supervised student must have sufficient consultation time with the supervisor, hence the academic supervisor must ensure the time availability to do so. Failing to allocate time for the supervision activities may cause the failure of the TA research and is highly not encouraged. All academic staff of the Geophysics Department must give great care on supervision of students and act as a good academic mentor and role model for the student.
In order to maintain the quality of the TA research, seminaries of the results in the group of research concentration must be performed. The supervisor determines technically the implementation of the seminar. The aim of these seminaries is to exchange knowledge between group members and to assess the scientific conduct of the research. The process and result of the research is verified in these activities by the staff members having a related expertise to the designated topic. It is highly recommended that the examiners of the thesis attend the seminaries.
After finishing the TA research, a student must submit the report of his/her research in the form of a bachelor thesis. A supervisor must ensure that the thesis is correctly written and no bad scientific conduct exists. There are three examiners that must be assigned in pursuance of the thesis, one examiner for the comprehensive test, and two examiners for the assessment of the thesis content.
A comprehensive test examiner has a duty to give an exam to the student on a determined topic to ensure that the student is having adequate knowledge as a geophysic graduate. Prior to the test a student may ask to do consultation on the field and limits of the test. The assigned staff must give an opportunity to the student to do the test preparation. The test is performed at once, and the mark of the comprehensive test will be used to consider the student to do his final assessment. The thesis examiners have a duty to make a review of the thesis. The review will be used as the basis for the correction and improvement of the thesis content. Any alteration of the thesis, must be approved by the supervisor. The thesis examiners will give marks on the thesis after revaluation of the thesis content in the final assessment.
