On January 12, 2024, Visual Communication Design (DKV) students at Universitas Negeri Malang conducted their Final Semester Examination (UAS) in a unique and creative manner. Instead of the usual written tests and presentations, this time the exam was transformed into an innovative exhibition. Each student was given the freedom to express their ideas and creativity through various media such as illustrations, animations, and graphic designs.
This exhibition not only served as a final assessment but also as a platform to showcase the hard work and talents of the students to the public. It provided students with the opportunity to present their work in front of lecturers, peers, and the general public. This offered real-world experience in facing the professional environment where presentation and visual communication skills are crucial.
Moreover, this innovative approach to the UAS supports the Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education. Through creative evaluation methods, Universitas Negeri Malang strives to create an inclusive learning environment and ensure quality education. Students are encouraged to think critically and creatively, and are given the opportunity to develop skills relevant to current industry needs.
The implementation of the UAS in the form of an exhibition also fosters collaboration among students. They learn to work in teams, provide feedback to each other, and improve their work based on the feedback received. Thus, students not only gain academic knowledge but also valuable soft skills for their future.
Overall, the unique UAS conducted by the DKV students of Universitas Negeri Malang represents a significant step forward in the field of education. Through a creative and innovative approach, it is hoped to produce graduates who are not only academically excellent but also ready to face challenges in the professional world and contribute to realizing quality education.
