objectives/intended 1. CLO1 : Able to explain and connect the philosophycal
learning outcomes aspects of research in agronomy in an appropriate manner
[KU1, P2, KK3].
2. CLO2 : Able to explain , understand, and write parts of
scientific articles for research proposals [KU1, P2, and KK3]
3. CLO3 : Able to explain the role of agronomy in the
development of science and technologies of a nation [KK3]

Program Learning Outcome (PLO):

1. P2 : The students are able to show in-depth theoretical
concept of science and technology, such as planting material
support through plant breeding activities (conventional and
biotech),plant physiology, ecology, plant management and
production of annual crops and annual plants, factors that
affect the quality of plant production, sustainable plant
production system on post-harvesting, and smart-farming
including the challenge of increasing suboptimal land
productivity based on Good Agriculture Practices (GAP)
approach, particularly in suboptimal land
2. KU1 : Having the ability to implement logical, critical,
systematic, and innovative thinking by utilizing ICT to come
up with solutions that may be written in scientific documents
and implement them in an integrated manner.
3. KK3 : The students are able to define and solve the general
problem of sustainable agriculture, particularly in plantation
crops and agriculture systems in suboptimal area, and also
have ability to write the experimental results in academic
report and /or scientific publication..
