Abstract
Problem solving and communication skills are needed by the teacher to support the success of the learning he does. This study aims to describe the perception of problem solving and communication of prospective elementary school teachers. This study uses a survey method. The research sample consisted of 335 prospective teachers. The survey was conducted using the online google form service method. The instruments used were problem solving questionnaires and communication. The data analysis used is descriptive statistics. The results of the research on the measurement of communication perceptions of prospective teachers obtained an average of 2.9 for men and 3.3 for women. Three aspects of communication, namely mental, emotional, and behavior in the sufficient category, so it can be concluded that the communication of prospective teachers in the category is sufficient.
Measuring the perception of the problem solving ability of prospective teachers obtained an average score of 3.5 and 3.6 for women. Three aspects of problem solving, namely Problem Solving Confident, Approach Avoidance Style, and Personal Control. Three aspects of problem solving are in the sufficient category, so it is concluded that the perception of problem solving abilities of prospective teachers is in the sufficient category. Keywords:

Abstract
PEP UNNES has a responsibility to encourage the scientific culture and improve the quality of education in this Covid-19 pandemic era. Therefore PEP UNNES organize a series of online workshop that is open for all parties. But, to improve the quality of implementation, there must be a comprehensive evaluation. This study aimed to obtain two main things. First; Evaluate the target achievement of the PEP Unnes online workshop series. Second, provide recommendations related to the implementation of the next workshop. The approach of this study is descriptive qualitative using the basis of the Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM), which has five main stages. (1) Designing Criteria; (2) Program Operation; (3) Program Interim Product; (4) Program Terminal Product; (5) Program Cost-Benefit Analysis. The objects of this study were workshop participants who become members of the WhatsApp groups. According to the stage of DEM, this study concludes five points. The finding on the first stage is the lack of budget and funding strategy. The performance on the second stage is 87,5%, with 12,5% of the discrepancy. The total performance of program implantation in stage 3 is 83,4%, with the score of the discrepancy is 16,6%. The achievement of the terminal product is excellent, where 75% of the participant takes more than once, and there are 52.5% participant will remain to take the next program even they have to pay.
And, the finding of the final stage is the lack of predicting the future result.

Abstract
One of the achievements of the learning of micotechnical courses is students skilled in making microscopic preparations. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the online microtechnic lectures were forced to take place online.
The purpose of this study was to (1) analyze the skills of students who took the Microtechnical course in making microscopic preparations during the Covid- 19 pandemic, and (2) analyze the factors supporting the skills of students taking microtechnical courses in making microscopic preparations during the Covid-19 pandemic. Survey research methods. The respondents of this study were 134 students who took the microtechnical course in the academic year 2019/2020 which were distributed into 2 classes of Biology Education Study Program and 2 classes of Biology Study Program. The skills of students who took the Microtechnical course in making microscopic preparations were measured by a performance observation sheet, which was further described categorically. Factors supporting the skills of students who take the Mikrotechnical course in making microscopic preparations are determined based on a questionnaire which is then percentage. The cross-leaf slicing skills with the free hand section method of students who take microtechnical courses are: 14.18% in the highly skilled category, 39.55% in the skilled category, 23.88% in the Fairly skilled category, and 22.39% in the no category skilled and very unskilled. The slice transversly the leaves skills were obtained from:
reading microtechnical books and practical experience of plant anatomy 79.51%, reading microtechnical books 18.15% and viewing the online platform you tube 2.34%. The skills to make blood smear for microtechnical students are: 76.87% in the highly skilled category, 19.40% in the skilled category and 3.73% in the quite skilled category. Microtechnical student's swirling skills are
obtained from: reading microtechnical books and seeing you tubes online platforms 49.65%, reading microtechnical books 30.77% and experience on animal physiology courses is only 19.58%. In conclusion, during the covid-19 pandemic most microtechnical students were already skilled at transversly the leaves slicing using the free hand section method. These skills are obtained from reading microtechnical books and previous practical experience in plant anatomy. All students are at least skilled at making thin blood smears. The majority of these skills are due to reading microtechnical books and looking at you tube online platforms.
