This research is pertinent to the morphemes made in the writing examination by the first semester students or freshman of English Department of Faculty of Education Catholic University of Saint Thomas in the academic year 2012/2013. There are two classes of the first semester students in English Department, and one class with 34 students is taken out as a sample to represent the whole first semester students in the academic year 2012/2013. The research data is taken from the result of the first semester writing examination, especially paragraph writing. Thus, there are 34 paragraphs thoroughly examined one by one to obtain morphemes both inflectional and derivational morphemes, including compounding words. The result of data analysis shows that the students produce 550 morphemes comprising 450 inflectional morphemes, 100 derivational morphemes, and 20 compounding words. Of the inflectional morphemes, irregular past morpheme amounts to 169, and that of regular one amounts to 101. But if it is seen from the verb form without the frequencies, the regular verb form amounts to 59 verbs, while the irregular amounts to 36 verbs only. In other words, the irregular verb form has much more frequencies than that of the regular one. Then, this number is followed by the plural morpheme which amounts to 77 frequencies. Meanwhile, of the derivational morphemes, noun suffix {-ing} has the highest position, namely 57 frequencies, then followed by adjective with 28 frequencies, adverb with15 frequencies and verb with 1 frequency. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the easiest morphemes are the most produced by the students, and then followed by the most difficult morphemes. This is in line with the language learning theory which says that the learners will grasp the easiest parts first, then gradually move to the more difficult.

The research method used is survey data collection using a questionnaire. As many as 60 students who have attended and graduated in animal structure lectures in the 4th semester of the 2014/2015 academic year were used as research samples. Samples were taken using simple random sampling technique from a population of 90 students. Then the data obtained is processed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study show that students have an interest in animal structure courses, especially in practical activities. The implementation of learning in animal structure courses has not been carried out optimally. The indication is from the non-socialization of the learning model used by lecturers which has an impact on various generic skills that are not maximally trained and developed.
