BREAKTHROUGH STUDENTS WHO REGISTERED BASIC CHEMISTRY I COURSE IN SOLVING PROBLEMS IN ONLINE TUTORIAL

Abstract

Online Tutorial (Tuton) is an internet-based tutorial service or web-based tutorial, which is offered by Universitas Terbuka (UT) and is followed by students via the internet and is one of the tutorials held by UT.The objectives of organizing Tuton are: Optimizing the use of the internet network to provide study assistance services to students, and enabling the distance learning process in a more communicative and interactive alternative choices for students who have access to the internet network to obtain optimal learning assistance services.To be able to access Tuton, students must activate an account on the http://elearning.ut.ac.id website Tuton is held every semester for 8 (eight) weeks or approximately 2 (two) months before carrying out UAS each semester. The contribution of the tuton value to the final value is a maximum of 30%. Maximum value can be obtained if students become active participants in implementing tutoring. Active participants are participants who read initiations, respond by asking questions or responses, discuss and work on assignments at initiations 3, 5 and 7. Students' breakthroughs in answering discussions and assignments in Kimia Dasar I (Basic Chemistry I)/KIMD4110 tutorials which mostly consist of molecular formulas and chemical structural formulas that are not easy to type in word format are manipulated by students by drawing in handwriting and then combining them with typing in word format.
