The system adopted from the Indonesia Accreditation Board for Higher Education and the International standard for Distance Education institution. All UTs ROs have got ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation). To ensure that the procedures in ISO have been followed accordingly, monitoring and evaluation have been done in all aspects including face-to-face tutorial. Nevertheless, Ambon RO and Kupang RO face challenges in providing qualified face-to-face tutorials as a result of limited expertise in the areas, limited facilities for face-to-face tutorials, and transportation problems. The analysis of how Ambon RO and Kupang RO implement regulations and procedures on face-to-face tutorial is carried out through document analysis. Data on face-to-face tutorial preparation and implementation in the first and second semester of 2011 for Ambon RO and first semester of 2012 for Kupang RO is analyzed. In general, Ambon and Kupang ROs have managed to follow the procedures required to ensure that they have provided quality face-to-face tutorials for students. Some adjustment have to be taken to accomodate constraints faced.

Abstract

One of the estimating of density function which has been recognized is histogram. Histogram has some weaknesses, i.e. the different starting points and the width of class intervals. Different starting points or different class intervals result different histogram forms. This article is about the estimating of the density function by using kernel function. This method does not require the determination starting points and the interval class width. The obtained curve has a smooth density function, a small sampling variance, and the important information from data are still kept.
