Ciputat, UIN Online News - In their writing endeavors, there are the first-semester students of UIN Jakarta who successfully produced 3 ISBN-registered books, submitted 18 papers to Science and Technology Index (SINTA), and authored hundreds of opinions featured on a number of online media platforms.
Prof. Dr. Ahmad Tholabi, M.L., M.A., B.R.E., B.L., the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs of UIN Jakarta, commended the students' academic accomplishments and the instructors' innovations in mentoring them.
"This constitutes an exceptional academic legacy. They have successfully produced several books, many essays submitted to reputable journals, and hundreds of comments published across different media outlets. I highly value and advocate for other lecturers to participate in academic creativity and innovation to cultivate competent students," he conveyed.
These works originated from a sequence of lectures in the Islamic Studies conducted by Dr. Suwendi, M.R.E., within the Islamic Education program at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training (FITK) and the Information Systems program at the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of UIN Jakarta.

Besides their roles as authors, students also serve as editors in the book publication process, including Zikri Azizi Abdillah. He asserts that the book is a collaborative endeavor by the students, who methodically write, edit, and assemble it under Dr. Suwendi's supervision.
"We are truly grateful for the trust given to the people who truly work behind the process of writing, editing, and compiling these books. Dr. Suwendi passionately trained our ability to produce such work," Zikri, one of the authors of Modernisasi, Teknologi, dan Islam, explained.
"This book represents our passion in scholarly work, and I sincerely appreciate all of the efforts we put in during the process.
