METHODS COMPARISON OF ARAS AND TOPSIS FOR DETERMINING THE BEST PRACTICUM ASSISTANT (CASE STUDY CHEMICAL LABORATORY DEPARTMENT OF FMIPA UHO)

Practicum is one of the activities that are part curriculum in universities. The role a practicum assistant needed to support activities. assistants selected through selection process. at Faculty Mathematics dan Natural Science (FMIPA), Halu Oleo University, be precise department Chemistry, still done manual problem faced process each lecturer determines ranks sequentially, from first supervisor last, which takes long time and subjective assessment unavoidable. Then problem, it necessary develop computerized system as supporting media decision-making facilitate selecting assistants. Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) Technique For Others Reference By Similarity To Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method applicated compare results two ways. comparison methods show TOPSIS provides higher accuracy value 50%, while ARAS 44%, but testing speed processing data, faster than method.
