This result can be interpreted that the application of the CABARITUS method can increase the number of students who actively deliver ideas/notions/opinions in lectures. 2) In terms of the quality of presentations at the first meeting, from 11 students who made presentations there were only two students who were able to deliver it in the excellent category (18.18%), at the second meeting they rose to 5 from 16 students (31.25%) and at the third meeting 9 out of 21 (51.38%) students had very good presentation quality. The quality of the presentation can be seen in the presentation content and presentation techniques.
