They won second place in the National Debate Competition entitled Harmoni Cinta Guru Online Party Jakarta State University (UNJ) early last September. More than 20 teams from various universities throughout Indonesia competed with each other in the competition.
Ferdy Aprizal and Mohammad Rakan Putra Zazli Agus from the Faculty of Psychology and Hamim Faqih from International Relations made the campus proud. Ferdi, his nickname, said that his team only made preparations for one week before the competition. In addition to mental, presentation rhetoric and material mastery are also important. They always practice discussions and also watch debate videos on social media.
"Our preparation for the competition this time strengthens the rhetoric so that it runs smoothly when presenting arguments in the competition," he said.
