Abstract

This research aims to know how the Adversity Quotient and the constraints faced by students in writing scientific paper in the form of thesis. The writing of thesis as a final task requires greater concentration, focus, effort, time, and perseverance of students to complete. In the process of thesis consultation, the students have to struggle to manage their times for reading, writing, looking for references as well as working as employees. With various considerations, the respondents of this study were limited to 44 students in English Department. Data collection techniques used were online questionnaires and snowball techniques. Then, the collected data is analyzed in a qualitative descriptive using Adversity Response Profile (ARP). Based on ARP, the study revealed that the Adversity Quotient of students who are undergoing the thesis consultation and also as employees are in the camper category with an average value of 135.41. Meanwhile, the constraints faced by the students in writing thesis that came from the students themselves (internal factors), namely: (1) difficult to cope with laziness (36.8%), (2) difficult to pour ideas and concepts (31.6%), (3) difficult to target research results (31.6%), (4) less time to read and write (31.6%), and (5) difficult to understand the research methods (31.6%). The conclusion of this research is that the Adversity Quotient of students need to be improved since the beginning of the lecturing so that the acceleration of graduating students is not delayed.
