Burnt out (leave of absence?)

I have no clue what to do anymore. Currently havent had any wellness check or anything like if i do have something but genuinely i just cant put up with uni right now, everything that im doing thats related to uni work i just feel so much heavy burden everytime i do it and ive been leaving all of my assessments doing them on the day its supposed to be submitted and all of them are late submissions.

I dont know if taking time off from uni will help me or just make it worse but failing these subjects will definitely take a toll on how long im gonna be doing my course. Which just stresses me out even more, putting me into that cycle where i dont do my assessments pushing them back and then stressing out that im going to fail which i probably already am.

Should i take a leave of absence or no?

AI marking strikes again!

A couple of months ago, I posted that I had a suspicion that my lecturer was using AI to mark assignments and received feedback that maybe this wasn't true due to AI detector not being reliable. Well, I now have confirmation. I received feedback for the last assignment and was initially confused as the specific examples included in the feedback was never included in the original submission. Classic sign of hallucination. It also seems that there is an upper cap to t he marking as the more details the assignment have, the larger exposure area it had

Is it really fair to put so much effort in an assignment to be graded on an unrealistic curve? I'm also disappointed that there's no real transparency in these practices.

AI use in assignments

Hi all, I’m starting a masters next semester. The last time I was at uni AI was JARVIS in Iron Man, so I have questions.

I’ve read through the academic integrity modules on LMS and was curious what level of “AI in Assessments Scale” most of your assessments are? Are students using AI for revising and editing even when they’re not supposed to?

Hot water at Latrobe?

Is there any places where I can use hot water for like instant noodles? Because I used the Lost on Campus app and there is only one place that has hot water.

Please let me know!

Alright, real talk — why is this sub so dead? 💀

We’ve got thousands of students at uni but somehow this place feels like a ghost town. Let’s fix that.

Hi, I just received the La Trobe Vice Chancellor Scholarship that gives 50% of the tuition fees. I apply for the Bachelor of Business Analytics so I hope to hear more insights regarding the job opportunities for this major, especially now in Australia. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I’m collecting responses for my DTN306 nutrition student research project about consumer perceptions of plant-based milk and cow’s milk. The questionnaire is anonymous, takes around 3–5 minutes, and is mainly intended for adults currently living in Australia, as the nutrition comparison will use milk products available in Australian supermarkets.

You do not need to drink plant-based milk to participate — all dietary patterns are welcome.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help!

diploma of health science pathways

I did the diploma of health science through LTCA a few years ago, I went straight into a bachelor of nursing then social work, both I had to drop out of due to health reasons. I'm feeling ready to go back to either studying or a career in health

for those who've done the diploma of health science, what careers or other study have you done using the diploma? I have no idea what I should be doing...

I'd rather go into employment or use my credits in another area of study, but I need some insight on how to use my diploma

I’m planning on doing La Trobe’s semester abroad next year for semester 2.
I want to go to the US (IK a bit sketch with Trump and everything politics and international relations), and the two options I’m picking between are San Diego State University and Louisiana State University. I’ve done my own research about both, and definitely see differences but I’m still not completely drawn to one or the other.
Could people who have done semester study abroad to these places please share their experience (costs, vibe, uni culture, communities/clubs, etc)?

I have to assess two brochures using a qualitative analysis in an addition to a quantitative analysis to assess its ability to increase health literacy. Any advice on how to do this, I’m not sure how to approach this. I can’t seem to find an established framework that’s suitable.
