Design and Implementation of Web based application for Food Materials Selection for Meals Menu in Universitas Advent Indonesia Cafeteria

Proper selection of food ingredients and quantities is a significant step to serve foods with good taste. When the selection of food ingredients is done inappropriately, the food maker can suffer losses because the ingredients chosen exceed the target for their use. Proper data collection in managing food ingredients is also needed by food makers in large quantities to produce delicious food as well. Universitas Advent Indonesia is a boarding campus which organizes and serves food for students on campus. Food serving for students is managed by the Cafeteria Department. One of the challenges that faced by this department is the collection of food ingredients on each food menu. Because of cooking in large portions, errors in the use of food ingredients are often found. In one meal, the cafeteria manager must prepare food for 1000-1500 servings. Then in one day the cafeteria must prepare food for 3000-4500 servings.

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Daring Akibat Pandemi Covid-19 Terhadap Prestasi Belajar Mahasiswa UNAI pada Semester Genap 2019/2020

Artikel ini adalah sebuah laporan studi tentang dampak dari perubahan yang tiba-tiba dalam model pembelajaran yang tadinya tatap muka di kelas menjadi daring, diakibatkan oleh pandemi covid-19, di Universitas Advent Indonesia tahun 2019/2020. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua mahasiswa yang mendaftar pada semester ganjil dan genap tahun 19/20, yang berjumlah 1516 orang, dan semua populasi menjadi sampel. Prestasi belajar mahasiswa hanya dilihat dari Indeks Prestasi semester (IPS) yang dicapai oleh mahasiswa pada akhir semester yang diikuti. Secara umum untuk level universitas prestasi belajar mahasiswa meningkat, walau secara fakultas ada dua fakultas yang mengalami sedikit penurunan yaitu fakultas ekonomi dan Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, sedangkan fakultas lain mengalami kenaikan. Secara tingkat didapat bahwa yang mengalami dampak negative dari pembelajaran daring adalah mahasiswa baru (tingkat 1), sedangkan tingkat 2 dan seterusnya tidak mengalami masalah dalam prestasi, bahkan justru berdampak yang positif, dengan adanya peningkatan dalam IPS. Secara jenis kelamin didapat bahwa baik mahasiswa pria maupun wanita mengalami dampak positif pada prestasi belajar, namun rerata IPS pada wanita lebih besar dari pria. Hasil penelitian ini agak mengherankan karena tadinya diduga akan ada penurunan IPS mahasiswa akibat perubahan yang drastic dalam model pembelajaran dari tatap muka menjadi daring. Namun dari hasil ini disimpulkan Universitas Advent Indonesia cukup berhasil mengatasi kendala-kendala yang terjadi akibat perubahan pembelajaran tersebut, bahkan pandemi covid-19 berdampak positif pada prestasi belajar mahasiswa. Itu terjadi karena baik mahasiswa maupun dosen dapat bekerja sama untuk mengatasi setiap kendala yang terjadi dalam perubahan model pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian ini perlu dilanjutkan untuk melihat efek jangka panjang dari pembelajaran daring, apakah prestasi belajar terus meningkat atau tidak, dengan melihat hasil pembelajaran pada semester ganjil 2020/2021 yang akan datang.
