Course Examination. The default system of
course final examination (known as ujian
akhir semester or UAS) is pencil and paper
test, which is face-to-face in examination
locations throughout the country. The second
examination is a paid online examination
where students can take it either from the ROs
or from other locations of their choice (upon
approval and meeting certain requirements)
with semi and full online proctoring system.
UT has developed an item bank system that
has a collection of 6-10 sets of test item
for each course. Therefore, UT is able to
administer examination simultaneously in
various locations using unique and distinctive
set of examination items to prevent the
possibility of cheating created by differences
in students’ time zones. During the Covid-19
pandemic, UAS was conducted through open
book take home examinations (THE) method.
Students can do THE anywhere, as long as
there is internet access, by downloading
the UAS THE documents, complete the THE
within the allocated time (about 6 hours
per course), and uploading their responses
before the deadline. THE is implemented
while adhering to and upholding applicable
academic integrity.
