Abstract

The thesis examination is the final project for students to graduate from their majors. This thesis researches scientific work between a student and a supervisor in finding solutions to a problem. In the thesis examination, students must present their research results to be criticized by the examiner. This article aims to analyze the association pattern of student thesis examinations at a private university. Although the thesis's implementation has been carried out following procedures, to determine the composition of the board of examiners needs to be analyzed by examining the pattern of relationships between research topics, supervisors, and examiners. This study uses 448 data and uses FP-Growth Algorithms to find the rules. The research methodology starts from preparing the Dataset, cleansing data, selecting data, loading data into applications, transforming data, itemset frequencies, forming patterns, and analyzing rules. This study found 145 patterns of association rules with a minimum support value = 4 and a minimum trust value = 50%. The association rule pattern of 77.78% is under scientific group data. The benefits of the association pattern produced in this study can determine the composition of the examiners on the student thesis examination according to the research topic and scientific field of the examiners.
