The 4C competence has been recognized by many experts as one of obligatory student learning outcomes, including students of Kampus UPI di Purwakarta. Therefore, student learning activity, whether in-class or out-class, should be directed toward mastery of those competences. One of many attempts that has been done was an assignment to create a scientific writing, in this case are Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa (PKM) proposals. However, there is a problem based on the amount of those proposals that have been rejected by the PKM Committee. This was an alarming problem and needed to be analyzed and solved as soon as possible. This study is done by a descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach. The number of respondents was 94 students from UPI at the Purwakarta Campus.
