The learning system was relatively similar to that of the Faculty of Agriculture at UGM, combining presentations, group discussions, practical activities, and assignments. However, the International Cooperation in Agriculture course offered a unique experience through weekly field trips conducted over half a semester, allowing students to directly observe agricultural practices and management in the field. read more
