The Vice Dean I of FMIPA USU, Dr. Cut Fatimah Zuhra, S.Si., M.Si., in her remarks, emphasized the importance of these learning methods in achieving the Key Performance Indicators (IKU) for State Higher Education Institutions (IKU-PTN), especially IKU 7: Collaborative and Participatory Classes. IKU 7 requires that at least 50% of classes utilize case-based and project-based methods to meet standards.
"Project-Based Learning and the Case Method are indeed vital for achieving IKU 7, but our ultimate goal goes beyond that—it is about fostering meaningful interaction between lecturers and students in the classroom," she stated.
