Assessment Principles

The learning process in the Physics Undergraduate Program is carried out in accordance with the Learning Outcomes Program that has been prepared. One indicator of the success of a learning process can be assessed from the learning outcomes obtained. Therefore, in the learning process, it is necessary to evaluate learning as a means to assess whether a learning process is running according to the targets that have been prepared or not.

Each course must be in accordance with the PLO target, so the type of evaluation must meet the standards of each PLO or PLO assessment control. each assessment must be evaluated in the form of a lecture report as evaluated for improvement in the coming year. This picture is an assessment scheme for courses in the physics study program.

The form of learning evaluation carried out in the Physics Undergraduate Program is by conducting an assessment of the process and student learning outcomes, this assessment refers to the regulation of the Chancellor of the University of Lampung concerning Academic Regulation Number 19 of 2020 in Article 17 and Article 23-31 which includes the Principles of Assessment, Techniques and Assessment Instruments, Assessment Mechanisms and Procedures, Assessment Implementation, Assessment Reports and Student Graduation.

 The principle of assessment includes several principles, the first is the educative principle, which means an assessment that can motivate students to be able to improve planning and learning methods and achieve Graduate Learning Outcomes. Second, the authentic principle means an assessment that is oriented towards a continuous learning process and learning outcomes that reflect student abilities during the learning process. Third, the objective principle means that an assessment is based on a standard agreed between lecturers and students and is free from the influence of the subjectivity of the assessment and what is being assessed. Fourth, the principle of accountability, which means that the assessment is carried out in accordance with clear procedures and criteria, agreed at the beginning of the lecture, and understood by students. Fifth, the Transparent Principle means an assessment whose procedures and assessment results are accessible to all stakeholders.

Assessment techniques and instruments

Assessment techniques and instruments are divided into two parts. The first part is the assessment technique, the assessment technique consists of observation, participation, performance, written test, oral test and questionnaire. Meanwhile, the assessment instrument consists of a process assessment in the form of a rubric and/or an assessment of results in the form of a portfolio. Then, in assessing attitudes, observational assessment techniques can be used, and for the assessment of mastery of knowledge, general and specific skills, it is done by choosing one or a combination of various assessment techniques and instruments. the final result of the assessment is an integration between various assessment techniques and instruments used.

The assessment mechanism is made in various ways starting from compiling, conveying, agreeing on the stages, techniques, instruments, and assessment weights between the assessors and those who are assessed according to the lesson plan. Then proceed with carrying out the assessment process according to the stages, techniques, instruments, and assessment weights. Provide feedback and opportunities to question the results of the assessment to students and document the assessment process and student learning outcomes in an accountable and transparent manner. The assessment procedure includes the planning stage, activities for giving assignments or questions, observing performance, returning the results of the assessment and giving the final score.

Course Assessment Undergraduate Program in Physics

 The implementation of the assessment, this section is carried out by: (1) Lecturers or a team of

lecturers, (2) Lecturers or a team of lecturers by involving relevant stakeholders. Assessment of the learning process and results can be done in the form of Quiz, Structured Assignments, Practical Exams, Team Based Project, Mid-Semester Exams (UTS), Final Semester Exams (UAS) and Classroom Observation. The implementation of structured assignments is carried out on various forms of assignments outside of class hours. Observations in class can be made on the ability of students to express questions and opinions and answer questions. Quiz, Mid-Semester Exams (UTS), and Final Semester Exams (UAS) are carried out in writing. For Team Based Project usually be done by presentation project result by team of students.

 Requirements to take the Final Semester Examination include:

1. a. participating in face-to-face activities at least 80% of the minimum number of lecturers’ attendance (16 weeks) (*);
2. participating in structured academic activities as much as 100%; and/or c. following the practical material as much as 100%.

  (*) During the Covid-19 Pandemic, point (a) is changed into virtual classes using Zoom meeting or Google Meet meeting. Moreover, University of Lampung provides lecturers and students a platform for online learning process in Virtual Class University of Lampung. In that platform lecturers can put the study material, assignments, quiz, exams, and other, while the students can download the study materials, test, and other material on Virtual Class (https://vclass.unila.ac.id/)

Follow-up exams (remedial) are only allowed for students who have the right reasons after obtaining approval from the person in charge of the course and can only be done in the current semester. The course exam files and various structured assignments that have been graded and used as assessment materials will be returned to students and all stages of learning assessment will be announced to students for verificati
