[:id]Kuliah Perdana di FKIP: Kontrak Kuliah antara Dosen dan Mahasiswa[:en]First Day of Even Semester in FETT: Lecture Contract between Lecturers and Students[:]
[:id]Senin, 13 Februari 2017 lapangan Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan terlihat dipadati kendaraan. Sekitar pukul 07.00 WIB, mahasiswa-mahasiswa FKIP sudah memasuki ruang kelas. Bukan hanya FKIP, seluruh mahasiswa dan dosen Universitas Tidar juga sudah mulai aktivitas mengajar pada hari itu.
Kuliah perdana Universitas Tidar dimulai Senin, 13 Februari 2017. Berdasarkan Kalender Akademik 2016/2017, Jadwal Semester Genap dimulai dengan perkuliahan paruh I 13 Februari sampai dengan 8 April 2017, UTS 10 – 22 April 2017, perkuliahan paruh II 24 April – 17 Juni 2017, dan Ujian Akhir Semester 3 – 15 Juli 2017.
Beberapa mahasiswa menyambut antusias kuliah perdana ini. “Saya sangat bersemangat semester ini karena akan menghadapi matakuliah-matakuliah baru dengan dosen-dosen yang juga baru mengajar saya di semester ini. Semester kemarin nilai matakuliah saya lumayan, jadi semester ini saya akan meningkatkan lagi usaha saya agar lebih baik lagi,” kata Ilmi Qonaah, mahasiswa PBSI saat ditemui usia mengikuti kuliah. Senada dengan Ilmi, Yusuf Yulianto, mahasiswa PBI, mengaku senang dan semangat bisa kembali kuliah.
Perkuliahan perdana di FKIP diisi dengan penjelasan kontrak kuliah, silabus, bahan ajar kuliah, tugas-tugas, tata tertib kuliah, dan sistem penilaian. “Dosen-dosen menjelaskan kontrak kuliah pada pertemuan perdana hari ini. Kami membuat kesepakatan-kesepakatan dengan dosen, misalnya toleransi keterlambatan, materi pembelajaran, sistem pengumpulan tugas, dan penilaian,” ujar Nuryanto, salah satu ketua kelas Semester II PBSI.
“Bagi kami, kontrak kuliah itu bukan hanya untuk mendisiplinkan mahasiswa, tetapi juga kami, para dosen. Materi perkuliahan juga lebih terarah. Selain itu, dengan adanya kontrak kuliah ketika kami harus menegur mahasiswa yang terlambat, baik itu datang kuliah atau mengumpulkan tugas, kami punya dasar. Mahasiswa pun berhak menegur kami saat kami terlambat tanpa pemberitahuan. Tata tertib dalam kontrak bukan hanya untuk mahasiswa, tetapi juga dosen,” ujar Arum Nisama Wulanjani, M.Pd., Dosen Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris FKIP.
Meskipun sudah mulai kuliah, beberapa mahasiswa belum sepenuhnya selesai perihal pengurusan jadwal kuliah. Krisna Adi Prasetya, misalnya, mahasiwa PBSI Semester II ini memiliki 4 matakuliah dengan jadwal bersamaan. “Persoalan jadwal kuliah yang belum beres, dapat diselesaikan saat Periode Batal Tambah Kartu Rencana Studi pada 13 – 15 Februari 2017,” kata Drs. Hari Wahyono, M.Pd., via WhatsApp yang dikirimkan kepada seluruh dosen FKIP agar memberitahukan informasi tersebut kepada seluruh mahasiswa.

Monday, February 13, 2017, many vehicles congested the field of Faculty of Education and Teacher Training (FETT). The students of FETT had entered their classroom at 7 a.m. Not only FETT students, but also all students and lecturers of Tidar University had started the lecturing activity on that day.
The lecturing activity at Tidar University was started on Monday, February 13, 2017. According to academic calendar 2016/2017, the schedule of Even Semester is February 13 – April 8, 2017 for the first part and April 24 – June 17, 2017 for the second part. The midterm exam is held on April 10 – 22, 2017, while the final exam is held on July 3 – 15, 2017.
Some students welcomed the first day on this semester enthusiastically. “I am really enthusiastic this semester because I will face new subjects and lecturers. On the odd semester, my mark was pretty good, so this semester I will increase my mark and study harder,” said Ilmi Qonaah, the student of Indonesian Language and Literature Education (PBSI) after joining the lecture. In line with Ilmi, Yusuf Yulianto, the student of English Education, admitted that he had a new spirit facing the new semester.
The lecturing on the first day was about the explanation of lecture contract, syllabus, material, assignments, class regulation, and assessment system. “Lecturers explain lecture contract on this first day. We make the agreements such as lateness tolerance, material, assignments submitting system, and assessments,” explained Nuryanto, one of the second semester leaders in PBSI.
“Lecture contract is not only to discipline the students but also to discipline us as lecturers. It will make the material more focus too. Furthermore, the lecture contract will be our guidance in class so we can admonish the students who are late in class or in submitting the assignments. The students also have a right to warn us if we come late without information. In short, the regulation in lecture contract is not for students only but also for lecturers,” added Arum Nisma Wulanjani, M.Pd., the lecturer of English Education.
Although the class had begun, some students still had a problem with the lecturing schedule. Krisna Adi Prasetya, the second semester student of PBSI, had four subjects at the same time. “The schedule problem can be completed in add/drop period of Study Card on February 13 – 15, 2017,” Drs. Hari Wahyono, M.Pd. informed via WhatsApp which was sent to the lecturers of FETT to be informed to the students.
