Conversations about how to create meaningful and significant experiential learning opportunities for students in international and intercultural contexts are increasingly commonplace in academic institutions. With over a century dedicated to the development and refinement of a powerful set of methodological, attitudinal, conceptual, and theoretical tools for cross-cultural understanding and engagement, anthropology has much to offer these conversations. Contributors to this issue of Practicing Anthropology draw on their experiences directing international offices, directing offices and study abroad programs, leading internationalization initiatives, establishing service learning programs, running international and intercultural field schools, and developing intercultural learning assessment instruments. They all interrogate teaching and learning outcomes, exploring the ways that the theories and methods of anthropology have been effective in enhancing intercultural learning and offering models and methodologies that others can use in their own work. The first four articles in the issue were individually submitted, and were ideal complements to the six articles Kiran Cunningham compiled.

This study aimed to describe student responses toward online learning. The respondents in this study were students of the first semester of the Biology Education Department in academic year 2019/2020, totaling 33 people. The sample in this study used a convenience sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively using Microsoft Excel. Research data shows that only 6 percent of students feel happy with online learning, because respondents think that they are more flexible about the time and place of learning. Meanwhile, 91 percent of students stated that they were not happy due to many factors such as being difficult to meet face-to-face with friends and lecturers, requiring a lot of money to buy internet quota and an unstable internet network. Referring to these results, it is very necessary to conduct an evaluation by lecturers and relevant policy makers to support the achievement of maximum learning objectives.

The appropriacy of course content with practicum contents is an effort to reach an optimum instructional goal. The level of appropriacy also reflects the implementation of practicum in the laboratory. Nevertheless, there were still some weaknesses in the practicum implementation such as the practicum was not fully conducted under lecturer’s guidance and direction; The practicum content was irrelevant with the course content; Evaluation and revision was rarely made to the course content and practicum content; the sequence of course content was not suitable with the sequence of practicum content. The aims of this study were to find out the level of appropriacy of course content with the content of biology practicum in the field of plant at biology education department. The methods used in this study were document analysis and descriptive method. The lesson plan of plant course content and also the content of practicum guidance in the field of plant were analyzed by the researcher. The result showed that 1) the level of appropriacy between the plant course content and the content of practicum was 50% and categorized as “appropriate”; 2) The other plant course content was considered “very appropriate” in terms of course content appropriacy with practicum content in the level of 50%. 3) The level of appropriacy between the sequences of course content with practicum content was 50% and categorized as “appropriate”. While another 50% was categorized as “very appropriate”. It can be concluded that the level of appropriacy of course content with the content of biology practicum in the field of plant at biology education department of UIN Ar-Raniry was categorized by “very appropriate” and “appropriate”.
