In many places in reality, agricultural's graduate works in a bank, a graduate majoring in economics became a journalist, and a law graduate into a credit analyst; this fact leads us to the question of what causes a gap between the world of higher education and the labor market. In other words, rapid changes in the working world as a result of globalization and revolution in the field of information technology, and science, have demanded anticipation and evaluation of the competencies needed by the world of work. Therefore, evaluation is also important so that there is no gap between the education world, specifically higher education world, the working world and the society's needs. Higher education as part of the national education system has a strategic role in educating the life of the nation and improving its competitiveness in facing globalization in all fields. Hence, there is curriculum in university that has to meet this new challenge. It must always be ensured that universities have relevance curriculum which are periodically updated in accordance with the current state. In this context Ministry of research, Technology, and Higher Education has stated that tracer study is a significant step to address this new challenge.

Artikel ini memaparkan pemanfaatan olah data kuantitatif dengan menggunakan teknik statistik analitik Chi-Square Test (X2), yang diterapkan untuk permasalahan linguistik terkait hubungan antara pronomina pertama tunggal dan korpus data. Berdasarkan korpus data yang dihimpun dari laman Badan Bahasa (Badan Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa, Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi) yang berupa buku karya 18 sastrawan pada tahun 2016, 2017, dan 2018, artikel ini mengukur keterkaitan antara kata ganti orang pertama tunggal AKU dan SAYA terhadap korpus data. Keterkaitan antara dua variabel ini (yaitu AKU dan SAYA) terhadap korpus data dijawab melalui uji signifikansi Chi-Square test dengan data kuantitatif dari korpus. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya pola asosiasi yang tidak bisa dikatakan bersifat acak/manasuka secara statistik antara muncul-tidaknya pronomina AKU dan SAYA pada korpus yang ada. Dengan adanya analisis kuantitatif seperti yang ditampilkan pada penelitian ini, pola asosiasi dari varian yang tampaknya acak secara kasat mata akhirnya bisa terbukti secara statistik juga. Adanya distribusi yang signifikan secara statistik, memunculkan kemungkinan adanya hal menarik secara linguistik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected education at all levels. Higher education institutions and educators must change their educational activities in response to COVID-19. Consequently, teaching delivery models have had to shift from a traditional classroom to an entirely virtual one. During the virtual period, institutions and educators experienced challenges and difficulties. However, they also had an opportunity to rethink their roles, which triggered innovation and a new learning environment for future education. One hundred and sixteen students in an Indonesian state university participated in this present study aiming to investigating the immediate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic and non-academic services. The data were gained from questionnaires using Google forms. The results indicated that the most effected of academic services variable was lecture process. Meanwhile, the non-academic services variable that most effected were facilities and infrastructure, and second was student activities. The challenges and expectations during the pandemic become the investment in rethinking the institution's roles in preparing the future education. In other words, many lessons learnt during distance education are useful for higher education institutions to increase familiarity of lecturers, students, and staff with distance education.
