Ivan Syamsulrizal, as a representative of S3 graduates in his speech, said that the process of completing a doctoral program is very dependent on the effort in dividing time. This is because most of the students are already working and have other activities that can be the main reason for the obstruction of the study process. Having a busy life does not mean forgetting the important task as a student, which is studying. Therefore, doctoral program students are expected to develop strategies to complete their studies. In the course of studying, there must be ups and downs, but with perseverance and willingness, the problem can be resolved properly.

Adenira Hargianintya, as a representative of S2 graduates, said that most students have a great sense of unwillingness to do assignments long before the deadline, guidance when the revision is felt unfinished, reading a lot of literature. So Adenira advised to fight the sense of unwillingness together. Cindewiyani, a representative of S2 graduates, gave tips to students who are studying in order to immediately complete their final project, namely 5 K (Consult, Coordinate, Cooperate, Openness and Work) which must be done continuously.
