On 30th August 2025, the Master in Phytopathology Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), held a socialization session on the Evaluation of Lectures and Learning System (Edom), Tracer Study, and User Tracer as part of its effort to improve academic quality and graduate outcomes. The event was attended by students, academic staff, and program managers.
During the session, the Head of the Master in Phytopathology Program emphasized the importance of student and alumni participation in providing feedback through Edom, as well as contributing to Tracer Study and User Tracer surveys. These instruments are vital for evaluating teaching effectiveness, monitoring graduate career progress, and gathering input from employers regarding graduate competencies.
The socialization highlighted three main aspects:
-
Edom (Evaluation of Lectures and Learning System): a feedback system enabling students to evaluate the quality of lectures, teaching methods, and learning facilities.
-
Tracer Study: an alumni survey designed to track graduates’ career development, further study, and the relevance of the program’s curriculum to professional needs.
-
User Tracer: a survey involving employers and stakeholders to assess the performance and competencies of UGM graduates in the workforce.
The collected data will serve as a foundation for curriculum development, improvement of learning methods, and alignment of academic outcomes with the needs of professional and research fields. Through this initiative, the Master in Phytopathology reaffirms its commitment to supporting UGM’s vision as a world-class research university and ensuring that its graduates remain competitive and impactful.
The event concluded with a call for active participation from all students and alumni. The program hopes that consistent input and feedback will strengthen Universitas Gadjah Mada’s role as a world-class research university and ensure its graduates are responsive to global challenges.
