Tips dan panduan menghadapi PI (Penelitian Ilmiah)

Haaloo :D

Yang biasa lihat blog ini pasti heran deh, blog khusus buat tugas-tugas kuliah malah aku gunain buat share pengalaman hehehe.. Dijamin deh informasi yang mau aku share ini bakal berguna buat kalian yang membacanya :D

Kali ini aku mau nge-post tentang pengalaman aku menghadapi PI.. kalian tahu kan apa itu PI? PI itu singkatan dari Penelitian Ilmiah, dimana kalian bakal ngehadapi saat tingkat 3 *buat yang jenjang strata 1*
Jadi, sewaktu kalian di akhir semester tingkat 3, kalian bakal di suruh buat paper  Penelitian Ilmiah untuk salah satu syarat kelulusan Strata Satu :o

Dari awal semester 6 juga ada kok mata kuliah yang membahas tentang itu. Nah, dari awal semester 6 juga kalian bakal disuruh baca-baca jurnal atau penelitian buat “tahu” apa sih PI itu? Dulu waktu awal semester 6 aku juga sama sekali blank tentang PI, apa sih PI itu? Disuruh ngapain sih? Gimana cara mulainya?

Nah dari membaca-baca jurnal dan penelitian yang ada, diharapkan kita bakal tahu apa dan bagaimana cara ngehadapi PI.. yaah kalau soal petunjuk pembuatan PI, menurut aku sepertinya setiap universitas atau jurusan punya ketentuan masing-masing.. jadi waktu di zaman aku, Dosen Pembimbingnya ngasih petunjuk pembuatan PI, atau kalian juga bisa inisiatif minta petunjuk pembuatan PI nya.. tapi ya secara garis besar, kira-kira PI itu terdiri dari :

  •          Cover
  •          Lembar pengesahan
  •          Abstraksi
  •          Kata Pengantar
  •          Daftar isi
  •          Daftar table
  •          Daftar grafik *jika ada
  •  Bab I : pendahuluan (berisi latar belakang, rumusan masalah, batasan masalah, tujuan penelitian, metodologi penelitian)
  •         Bab II : Landasan teori (berisi tentang materi/ grand theory yang di gunain)
  •       Bab III : Metodologi penelitian (berisi penjelasan atau pengenalan objek penelitian, data/variable yang digunakan, metode pengumpulan data, dan alat analisis yang digunakan)
  •        Bab IV : Pembahasan (berisi tentang perhitungan dan pembahasan penelitian yang kita kerjakan serta diikutin dengan penjelasannya)
  •          Bab V : Penutup (berisi kesimpulan dan saran)
  •          Dafta pustaka
  •          Lampiran

Yang diatas itu kira-kira penyusunan PI yang aku gunain, buat jenis font, ukuran font dan yang lain-lainnya, biasanya di tentuin juga (aku juga tahu ketentuan itu dari petunjuk pembuatan PI yang aku dapat). Btw aku Universitas Gunadarma Fakultas Ekonomi Jurusan Akuntansi. Saran aku sih waktu membuat/mulai mengetik papernya, kalian punya penelitian sejenis yang dijadikan acuan. Yah boleh juga lihat-lihat PI yang lain buat referensi tambahan. Selain itu kalian juga pasti dapat Dosen Pembimbing (DP) yang ditentuin dari Univ nya.. yah masukan juga nih supaya lancar, ikutin aja “rule”-nya si dosen pembimbing hehe. Kalau ada yang kurang di mengerti ya tanyain aja sewaktu “pertemuan” yang udah di schedule kan. Biasanya sekali seminggu sesuai dengan deal nya DP dan mahasiswa.

Nah, sekarang di skip ya, langsung ke saat ACC (accept) PI buat sidang. Saat kalian dibilang “Kamu saya acc” oleh DP, perjalanan kalian masih panjang dari kata “selesai”. Sewaktu udah dapat surat acc, itu tanda nya kalian sudah di perbolehkan untuk mendaftar sidang PI. Untuk Univ Gunadarma, loket PI Fakultas Ekonomi dibuka hanya hari Selasa dan Jumat, jam 10.00-11.30 lalu 13.00-14.00 *kalau ga salah ingat hehe x.x* disarankan dari jam 9 atau jam 08.30 kalian udah datang, karna selalu rame yang mau mengantri untuk daftar sidang. Atau kalau kalian mau datang jam 10 tepat juga gpp sih, bebas hehehe.

Nah buat daftar sidang, ada syarat-syarat berkas/dokumen yang harus di bawa. Syarat-syaratnya tertulis di surat ACC yang diberikan oleh DP kok. Nih, saran lagi ya, semua dokumen yang udah ada kalian sediakan di fotokopi aja buat jaga-jaga, karna nanti bakal ada fotokopian yang diminta oleh orang loket PI nya. Oh iya.. kalian tau kan loketnya berada dimana? Loketnya itu di kampus D Depok, di baak nya (samping masjid). Semua mahasiswa/i yang berasal dari tangerang, kalimalang, salemba daftar sidangnya ya di Kampus D Depok ini, jadinya ga heran banyak orang yang mengantri buat daftar sidang dan keperluan yang lainnya. Untuk fakultas yang lain aku ga tau kapan jadwal buka loket nya hehe.

Oke, lanjut ke topik. Saat udah daftar, surat ACC yang tadi bakal di tulis tanggal sidang, jadwalnya, dan tempat sidangnya di gedung mana.

Setelah dapat tanggal sidangnya, saatnya buat prepare sidangnya. Yang dibutuhin sewaktu sidang itu yaitu :

  • Paper PI kalian di jilid 4, 3 buat Dosen Penguji, 1 buat pegangan kalian. Di jilid 3 doang juga gpp, bebas hehe.
  • Nah sewaktu aku sidang, media yang digunakan buat presentasi yaitu OHP. Jadi, yang dibutuhkan itu transparasi. Transparasi buat presentasi nya dibikin 5 lembar aja *minimal*. Lembar 1 (untuk judul PI, nama kamu, NPM, nama DP), lembar ke-2 (latar belakang), lembar ke-3 (untuk rumusan, batasan masalah dan tujuan), lembar ke-4 (untuk pembahasan, diringkas jadi satu ya), lembar ke-5 (kesimpulan dan saran). Yaaah buat transparasi nya boleh sih lebih dari 5 lembar, tapi jangan terlalu banyak, coz nanti juga di suruh skip sama Dosen Penguji nya kalau kebanyakan.
  • Transparasi nya sih ga harus dalam bentuk power point, dalam bentuk ms.word juga bisa kok, dan lebih bagus kalau polos ya tanpa gambar dll.
Saran lagi nih, sewaktu presentasi, lebih bagus kalau kamu gunain kata-kata kamu sendiri tapi tetap formal yaa, jangan terpaku sama tulisan yang ada di transparasi. Kunci nya ya kuasai PI kamu, teori dan yang lain-lainnya. Insya Allah kalau kamu kuasai PI kamu, pas ada sesi pertanyaan atau di tanya mendadak, kamu pasti bisa ngejawab dan lancar deh sidangnya hehehe..

Nah, pas sehabis giliran kalian sidang, kalian bakal disuruh revisi sama dosen nya, diberi waktu untuk revisi oleh dosennya. Saran aku, dengerin apa kata dosennya. Nah pas udah selesai revisi, bawa hasil revisi ke dosennya. lalu kalau kalian lagi lucky, sekali revisi langsung di ACC revisiannya :D yah tergantung tingkat/berapa revisi sih yang harus di perbaiki. Kalau yang disuruh revisi nya dikit, yaa sekali ketemu juga langsung di ACC revisi-annya. Saat udah ACC Perbaikan, kalian juga udah mulai bisa tuh bikin HARD COVER PI kalian :p

Oke lanjut.. pas udah dapat surat ACC PERBAIKAN dari si dosen penguji nya, kalian bawa surat ACC revisi tersebut ke loket PI lagi (aku kan FE, jadi nya ke loket PI jurusan FE) buat minta tandatangan cap lulus.

Hmmm, next step.
Saatnya upload dokumen yang waktu kalian presentasiin (yang minimal 5 lembar itu lho). Sebelum itu, kalian harus isi form.

Nah setelah isi form, kali ini kalian harus upload dokumennya, harus dalam bentuk PPT (Power Point), kalian bisa upload di Studentsite.gunadarma.ac.id lalu ke bagian Deposit Library.. nah ketentuan template/design buat dokumen PPT untuk FE bisa di ambil di bagian “download” di Deposit Library nya, untuk FE template nya yang warna orange yaa :D

Sebelum kalian upload dokumen PPT nya, kalian harus ubah dulu PPT itu ke bentuk .pdf *baca ketentuannya*.. isi form untuk “Jenis Penulisan” nya yaitu Slide Presentasi, setelah di upload dan muncul hasil upload annya, tentuin juga jenis dokumennya. Jenis dokumennya yaitu Dokumen Presentasi.



Lalu, klik deh “Kirim Penulisan”. Setelah klik kirim penulisan, otomatis kalian ke home, lalu klik “bukti upload”, save bukti upload itu. Bukti upload itu harus di print, dan di bawa ke loket Perpustakaan di Kampus D untuk di tandatanganin juga, letaknya di kampus D gedung 3 tepat di depan bank DKI.





Penampakan loket perpustakaan

NAAAH, FINALLY! Minta tanda tangan orang-orang penting yang tertulis di LEMBAR PENGESAHAN PI kamu.. Kamu harus bawa SURAT ACC PERBAIKAN YANG UDAH DI TANDA TANGAN + BUKTI UPLOAD YANG UDAH DI TANDA TANGAN + HARD COVER PI KAMU. Semuanya kamu bawa ke loket PI sesuai jurusan kamu, lalu tinggalin deh, tunggu di tanda tangan. Dan done ~ selesai ~

Eh, belum selesai deh.. masih ada lagi tahapan-tahapan yang harus di hadapi buat nyelesain "PI" ini.. masih harus upload ms,word nya, lalu minta lagi cap bukti dll.. tapi masih ini dulu yang aku ketahui tentang proses penyelesain PI ini.. aku nya sendiri sih masih mau minta cap dan tanda tangan buat surat ACC perbaikan.. jadinya kalau ada info lagi, bakal aku update deh hehe :D


Nah itu aja informasi dan pengalaman yang mau aku share, semoga bermanfaat ya ;) jangan lupa kasih comment buat post an aku yang ini.. hehehe itu aja ;D thank you ~

Describe Myself

I know it's too late to post article about myself. Why I don't post article about myself at the first post? Well, it's better to late than nothing to do at all, right? 

Actually, if you ask me about describe myself, I'm not really good at describe myself either. Because I need someone or other people and need their prespective to describe myself too, it's not about my only own prespective. Yet, I try to describe myself, use my own prespective.

Well first, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Yanita Utami. I was born on January 4th 1993 at Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. My pre-school was at Raudha Pre-school at Pekanbaru, Riau too. My Elementry School was Public Elementary School 036, Graduation of 2003-2004. I was entered Public Vocational School on 2007 at SMK N 1 Pekanbaru, majoring in Tourism, then in the same year I moved to Jakarta and was entered Public Vacational School at SMK N 33 Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. I was graduated on 2010 as SMK N 33 Graduation. Then, I got schoolarship from Gunadarma University and decide to entered Gunadarma University in Economic Faculty, Accounting Major. And now, I'm in the middle of mid semester exam, 6th semesters. Well then, that's all the list of my education until now.

Okay, now I will tell you about my nature and try to describe myself. I am a curious person, I have a lot many things that I want to know about. I am a hard worker. I love adventure, but I am lazy enough to nothing to do. Sometimes I impatient and sometimes I patient enough to wait something. Well, If I interested about something, I will dedicate myself to search all about that 'something'. I also could get distracted, but If I focus about something, I could ignore everything around me and just focus about one subject. I love English, and I am about learning that subject to improve my English. Do you know? I have some kind of problem about English  . Maybe I could little understand about what people said in English and could understand if I read text in English, but I have problem in speaking English. I frequently forget the word that I want to speak to. That's problem which I try to overcome :|

Well, if you read my education lists, you will know that I was move my majoring from tourism to accounting. Truthly, I am interested about accounting, but when I entered the public vocational school, I was put on toursim majoring wether I choosed accounting majoring in the first, but eventually the school was put me on that majoring. I was able to following the class, and now I'm not regret that I had entered the tourism majoring. I have a lot experience when I was in this majoring. I learned a alot about tourism. And I was very enjoyed to experience that's all. But now, eventually I can experience study accounting majoring and I able to following the subject in university :) and you can say that I love traveling and math.

About my nature, I interested to following some stuff such as volunteer on charity. I am a stubborn person. If I have choosed a decision, it would be hard to change my decision that I took. Which mean, I am opionated. I am the person that can you trustworthy. I am loyal. Loyalty and faithfulness are always be upheld. My weakness is about socialization. I am weak in socializing and until now I try to overcome my weakness. I am quite enough and love to think about something. I love think, I love reading, I love music, and I loved to philosophize by myself. Despite I love traveling and calculating, I am love and interested about psychology, forensic, and love reading and watching crime's stuff. When I was little kid, I have dream become police, lawyer, nurse, and detective. Well, I love that stuffs :)

Deep in my heart, I always wanting to do something useful for most of people. But I don't know from where I could start. I always wanting to do something different which useful for most of people.

Okay, I think that's all about myself that I can describe to you. However, it still my prespective. I don't know about myself in other people's sight. Well, if all of you that known me, could you please to describe me from your prespective? :)

Economic Value Added


Hallo readers, today I want to give you a material reading about ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED or we can called it “EVA”.  Anyone know about EVA? Let me explain you something about EVA J

According Amin Widjaja Tunggal (2008), Economic Value Added (EVA) is a financial management systeml to measure economic profit in a company, which states that welfare can only be created if the company is capable to fulfill all operating costs and capital costs.

The Economic Value Added concept was first introduced by G. Bennet Steward, III, Managing Partner from Stern Steward & Co in his book “The Quest For Value” (Harper Business, 1991). The EVA concept became financial management system. According to the Economist magazine (2 August 1997) more than 300 companies in the world had adopted this system that based from EVA (Economic Value Added). These companies for example such as Coca cola, Quaker Oats, Boise Cascade, Briggs & Stratton, Lafarge, Siemens, Tate & Lyle, Telecome New Zealand, Telstra, Monsanto, SPX, Herman Miller, JC penney, and US Portal Services (Joel M. Stern, 2001, page 15-16).

Economic Value Added (EVA) is profits that left after reduced by cost of capital which invested to produce that profits. EVA is a benchmark value-based financial performance. EVA is a brenchmark which explain the absolute amount from shareholder value that created in a given period, actually for one year. EVA provide a good brenchmark of the value added by the company to shareholders. Therefore, if manager focus on Economic Value Added, then it will help ensure that they operate in a consistent way to maximize shareholder value.

Economic Value Added is indicator of value created from an investment. Economic Value Added Positive if the result of return higher than rate of return that investor wanted it, which means company have maximize their company’s value or indicate crating value. Whereas Economic Value Added  indicate negative value, signify that company’s value is reduce so that the rate of return resulting lower than rate of return desired by investor, which means the company not success create the value for capital’s owner or indicate destroying value.
