<![CDATA[This research presents the development and optimization of an automated thesis format checking system tailored for undergraduate students at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). Motivated by the disproportionate ratio of 1538 students to 52 lecturers in the Informatics and Computer Engineering Education Study Program, this project aims to reduce lecturers’ workload by automating compliance verification with institutional thesis formatting guidelines. A web-based application was developed using an iterative, consultation-driven design approach involving system prototyping, expert testing, and feedback-based refinement. The application detects elements such as font usage, margins, spacing, and heading structure based on the official formatting standards. Expert feedback indicated a high satisfaction level (4.36/5). Although current limitations include manual file uploads and lack of integration with UNM's official systems, the tool significantly enhances efficiency and consistency in academic supervision. Future developments aim at full portal integration and real-time feedback mechanisms.]]>
