In addition to discussing supervisor quotas, the event also explored tips and tricks for choosing supervisors and the administrative requirements students must prepare. Dr. Ir. Tito Sucipto, S.Hut., M.Si., IPU., ASEAN Eng. (Head of the Undergraduate Forestry Study Program, USU), also provided explanations regarding the technical process of supervisor selection, administrative regulations, and the rules to follow during the thesis supervision period.
In the closing session, Dr. Ridahati Rambey delivered an inspiring message to students to remain focused and disciplined.
“Students must be able to graduate on time, stay focused on themselves, and not follow their friends in unproductive things. Lecturers will be proud when you finish quickly — that success brings joy to us as well,” she said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ir. Luthfi Hakim added another memorable remark:
“Your thesis is indeed your monumental work, but remember, it will not change the world. Create a thesis that fits your conscience — simple, inexpensive, quick to finish, and most importantly, one that you enjoy working on.”
Through this BADAK activity, it is hoped that students will be better prepared and wiser in determining their research direction and choosing their supervisors, ensuring that the thesis writing process runs smoothly, effectively, and meaningfully.
