indicators in producing competent and
excellent graduates. It is time to evaluate
the effectiveness and value of the skills and
topics discussed in the current general
education course, MMW, and determine
whether they meet the demands of today's
needs. This research will inform teachers in
both senior high school and university settings
about the skills that students struggle with
and do not possess, allowing them to
develop necessary strategies to better

serve as an indicator for HEI understudy
