C.    Teaching System
Teaching system in FEUHS is student-centered, but based on my observation in the classroom on learning process the student centered hasn’t been maximum yet because the limited of time. In one section there is only 75 minutes to carry out the learning process, start from the opening activity, main activity until closing activity. So it is very difficult to run a student-centered learning process. The learning method which is used to deliver the lesson is the lecture method.

D.    Material and other learning sources


In FEUHS, teacher realizes that 75 minutes in one section does not enough to finished all the materials. That’s why this school also have a learning sources like blanded learning. It is called canvas where all the students and teachers can access the canvas 24 hours. Even there are some teachers conduct the examination in that canvas. Canvas become one of the most effective learning resources. So by using this canvas student can learn anytime and not just in the classroom or the learning process does not only take place in the classroom, with canvas students can learn anytime and anywhere. In canvas teacher can uploaded the module, and task that student used to finished. In this school, it doesn’t use a textbook, there are only module and also PowerPoint to present the lessons in the class. Teacher sometimes uploaded their module in canvas in order that students can learn more about the lesson.

E.     Measurement and Evaluation System


Measurement and evaluation system that the teachers do in the learning process during the learning process conducted are according to the grading system which are written task such as assignment, unit test or a quizzes which conduct after one unit or one lesson has finished to study, short test, and long test. Performance task such as presentation, and research. Major exams such as mid term which conduct in the middle of the semester and at the end of the semester there is final test to measured the achievement that the student get at the end of the learning process.

F.     Curriculum


FEUHS apply K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of junior high school, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide a sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, midlle-level skills development, employment and entrepreneurship.

They just prepare the teaching plan by using the module and the PowerPoint to present the lesson in the classroom.
