          The purpose of this study is to analyze problems faced by the college students of the Informatics Management study program at AMIK Mitra Gama in writing a paragraph. This study was descriptive qualitative research. The participants of this research were fourth-grade students of the Informatics Management study program attending the Applied English II course and registered on the 2018/2019 academic year, 31 students. Instrumentation of this research was student’s paragraph writing entitled “Computer in the Digital Age” in 100-150 words and interview. The result of this study found that the students had the organization of paragraph, grammatical and mechanics problems in writing a paragraph. The most typical difficulty was the organization of paragraph problems in writing concluding sentences (90,3%). Secondly, grammatical problem in using adjective (77,4%), article (64,5%), and verb (58,1%). Third, mechanics problem in punctuation (38,7%). Lastly, based on the interview, these problems arise from the students' used  Google Translate more often in finishing their writing. They translated their paragraph in Bahasa Indonesia into English directly without paying attention to the aspects of writing a paragraph. It made them difficult in choosing the appropriate words. For the next study, it was suggested to further investigate another aspect of grammatical (preposition, transition word, and conjunctions) and mechanics of writing such as content and organization. It implies that writing skills should be included in course design to enhance student’s ability in writing.

In determining interest, students are faced with the choice of specialization in determining the final field of interest. Specialization in the Information Management Study Program of State Community Academy of Bojonegoro is divided into five specializations. The choice of specialization groups is an important part. This is because the accuracy in choosing specialization groups is part of the initial plan of students to determine the final assignment project. Thus, the field of specialization taken will be in accordance with the interests and abilities of the students and will have an impact on the process. In this work, we propose a system that can provide information about the classification of student final assignments. We use Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) algorithm to do the classification. In this work, we used datasets, that obtained from the State Community Academy of Bojonegoro Informatics Management Study Program. Based on the accuracy testing of the classification results, the system gives higher result, than test manual calculation of 83.33%.
