What They Say
What Participants Say About Online LPDP Mentoring
Three experiences from participants in different cities. Their reviews describe how the coaching went; selection outcomes always rest with LPDP.
โI doubted a remote essay review could be as thorough as sitting side by side. My document was opened on a shared screen and commented on line by line, and after every session the revision notes were already sitting neatly in the file. Slowly my contribution essay and study plan began to read like one connected story.โ
