In her remarks the Dean of FMIPA, Ni Luh Watiniasih expressed her gratitude to God Almighty for the grace given by Him so that we can all be present in this Field Assessment. Watiniasih also expressed her gratitude and welcome to the LAMSAMA Assessor team, and hoped that the objectives of the two-day field assessment could be properly achieved. Watiniasih further explained FMIPA's vision and mission listed in the 2020-2024 FMIPA Strategic Plan which is aligned with the Vision and Mission of Udayana University. Based on the results of a satisfaction survey conducted on students, alumni, lecturers, students, users, and partners, it was found that the majority of respondents stated that the level of satisfaction was good from the four assessment criteria, which were not good, fair, good, and very good. By Watiniasih This is of course very encouraging because we realize that during the past 2019-2022 pandemic, the education system at Unud underwent a change where previously it was only face-to-face, now UNUD already has offline and online lecture facilities which are strengthened using the webex platform and the OASE Learning Management System (LMS). Watiniasih further explained that the current human resources at FMIPA are 183 lecturers, of which 19 lecturers have professorships and as many as 61 people have the title Lector and Lecturer. Besides that, FMIPA also has 57 staff members who are divided into civil servants and contract staff. In the Dean's Performance Report for 2022, FMIPA's Key Performance Indicators (IKU) have a good value where most of the targeted KPIs can be exceeded. Watiniasih also explained several educational development activities that had been carried out including the development of an OBE-based curriculum and preparation for ASIIN international accreditation. In the field of Research, FMIPA produces an average of over 50 scientific publications per year in 2016-2022. Meanwhile, in the field of community service, FMIPA has also carried out a lot of service in various fields both nationally and internationally involving various components of society, researchers and students. It is undeniable that the future development of FMIPA is getting better, this is indicated by the use of a new 4-floor building on the Bukit Campus which is intended for use as classrooms, laboratory rooms, administration rooms, and FMIPA leadership rooms. This building is one of two new buildings owned by FMIPA and is expected to be able to improve the quality of education at FMIPA. In the end, Watiniasih expressed her hope "hopefully this field assessment can run well, and what we hope is that Superior accreditation can be achieved".
