Those are all actually our efforts to complete the tasks previously given to us. Hopefully, what the assessors saw here is better in reality than what we uploaded before," Prof. Reviono said.

Prof. Ferdiansyah in his speech hoped that the accreditation would run smoothly and what was in the field was in accordance with what had been previously reported.
