Knowledge is crucial for everyone. With extensive knowledge, humans can organize life better and benefit others more. Knowledge is not only obtained at the formal education level but can also be obtained from various experiences, both personally experienced and experienced by others. Broad knowledge has encouraged humans to learn and obtain information from various sources, such as researchers, activists, and expert staff, and this is considered one of the best methods for obtaining broad knowledge.
In learning and teaching activities, the USU Faculty of Forestry provides opportunities for students to obtain extensive information not only from lecturers who teach courses but also from various activities such as practices, practicums, field trips, and lectures filled by USU Faculty of Forestry partners. At the end of the even-semester study period in 2023/2024, there were 38 classes with 14 resource persons who had given lectures in various courses at the USU Faculty of Forestry.
