This study aims to examine the challenges and strategies of Management Study Program students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU) in understanding online lecture materials. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of closed questionnaires distributed to 25 respondents of fourth semester students. The results showed that although there were still technical problems such as unstable internet connections, the majority of students were able to adapt to the online learning system. The most dominant learning strategies used are active and independent strategies, such as reading, taking notes, repeating material, watching learning videos, and managing study time. In addition, group discussions through media such as WhatsApp and Telegram also help clarify understanding of the material. Students also rely on learning materials provided by lecturers through digital platforms (PDF, video, and LMS) as the main source of independent learning. This study concludes that students' success in understanding online lecture materials is strongly influenced by a combination of active learning strategies, group collaboration, and material support provided by lecturers. Therefore, continuous collaboration between students, lecturers, and institutions is needed to create a more effective and inclusive online learning system.

This study aims to determine the extent of the influence of infrastructure management and understanding of sewing theory on the quality of practicum learning in the Fashion Department at SMK Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara. This study uses a quantitative approach with data collection methods through questionnaires, observation, and documentation. The research sample amounted to 107 students from a total population of 143 students in classes X, XI, and XII. The results of multiple linear regression analysis show that the management of infrastructure facilities has an influence of 16.26%, while the understanding of sewing theory has a greater influence, namely 71.53% on the quality of practicum learning. Simultaneously, the two variables contributed 87.9%, while 12.1% was influenced by other factors not studied. This finding confirms that the understanding of sewing theory has a more dominant influence than the management of infrastructure facilities in improving the quality of practicum learning in the Cosmetology department at the SMK.
