r/AUT

Hi is anyone withdrawing ENEL611? I found it was very hard and doubting I will achieve a decent grade without affecting my gpa.

Hi guys I’m currently in yr13 and I’m planning to study animation on AUT. Is there anyone who does animation major? I want to ask yall how is it like and I would love to take advices.

Does everyone have this? I got a 50% off and I honestly i dont know why. I didnt apply for it.

I’m a nursing student on placement and something happened that’s been sitting really badly with me.

Basically, I accidentally misunderstood the shift time and thought it was 7–2:30. I fully acknowledge that part was my mistake and I take responsibility for it. But after my clinical educator came in, some of the nurses started talking about me in a way that honestly felt unfair and humiliating.

They were saying I “refused” to give medication, when they literally never even allowed me to touch or administer the medication in the first place. Then they also said I refused to take vital signs, even though I was actually the one ASKING whether vitals needed to be taken for the patient.

What hurt most is that a lot of the comments were coming from a nurse I barely even worked with that shift. It felt like assumptions were made about me and suddenly became facts once my educator was there.

I’m trying really hard to learn and be proactive on placement, so hearing people speak about me like that behind my back was honestly upsetting. I know I’m still learning and I’m open to criticism when it’s fair, but this just felt exaggerated and inaccurate.

Has anyone else experienced being misrepresented on placement? How did you deal with it without completely losing confidence?

Im a first year comms student and was told to get an access card from security. Ive got one now but i’ve got no clue what it actually dose. Tried using it to go into the media centre but it didn’t work. If anyone knows what first years can use it for lmk. Also before anyone ask i have tried googling it and it was no help.

I’m considering taking podiatry. Can reddit people give comments on this major, especially how is it in AUT (professors, investment in the field, internship program, curriculum). How’s the healthcare economy, is it hard to have a job in an accredited clinic/hospital?

Beside AUT, should I go to an institution like NZTC?

Anyone who has done the final lab for this know what exactly it entails ?

Im in my first semester of health science and have been given 2 grades that dont make any sense to me. Both written assigments. Firstly the feedback is non existant, is there anything I can do about that? I would love to understand where I have actually gone wrong with to start with. And secondly, I help a classmate out a fair bit that struggles with formal writing, so I of course read their assessments aswell. Both times they have been marked higher than me for reasons I cannot understand. They do not have good scentence structure and often have too many ideas going on and dont go into much depth. (all of which is needed as per marking schedule) I struggle to understand how they are consistantly marked higher than me? Its so disheartening putting in so many hours, making sure ive followed the marking schedule to a T and then getting marked less than someone who struggles with formal writing (not trying to be nasty about it, everybody finds different things easier/harder) I had top marks all through college. I understand things get harder etc and maybe i am going wrong somewhere but with no feedback how am i supposed to know?

Is there anything I can do? Is challenging a grade going to help me gain clarity?

thanks

I have a full year of student loan and allowance approved - do payments in the break between semester 1 and 2 stop?

I might be reading this wrong but shouldn't a student loan not be getting charged interest I thought the loan was interest free

I am so lost, looked through the lecture slides, and asked everyone I know. I’m embarrassed to ask the question cause idk if it’s basic and somehow I’ve missed it but honestly any help would be great. Please dm or comment if you are taking this paper, thank you.

I’m currently studying nursing (sem 2 of my first year), and have this exam coming up soon. From my knowledge last sem this test was just on canvas and students could do it at home like test 1. This sem they’ve chosen to make it an in person exam at the city campus and have a time limit of around 1 hour 40 mins. Just curious for those who have done this test/exam previously how it was like? It seems like a lottttt of info put into one exam which is also closed book lol. And those who are going to sit it in the next few weeks how do you feel about it, are u prepared?

I failed my placement over some stupid dumb reasons what are the next step

help me out!! when is the right time to join AUT for csi (data science).

I just graduated highschool and intend to go to AUT. Should I start from july 2026 or february 2027? Since I heard that february is their main intake so I’m wondering if there are any difference in workshops, events, courses, internship,… Does AUT connect us with companies for internship? If yes, what are those companies? Is that compulsory? When are we taking internship?

I havent built my coding background, what are the basis I should prepare (C++, Python, Algorithm..?)

Pls share with me breaking news in the campus or my major.

Need advice from nursing students/grads in Auckland 😭

I’m currently waiting on an AUT nursing transfer decision, but I also got accepted into Unitec nursing for the July intake.

I wanted to ask honestly — which school is better in terms of:

• student support
• lecturers
• organisation
• workload
• placements
• overall learning environment

I care more about support + quality of teaching than prestige tbh.

Also, how does AUT actually choose people for transfers into nursing? Do they prioritise students already in clinical programmes like midwifery? Is it mostly GPA-based or do other things matter too?

Would really appreciate any honest experiences/advice 🙏

This might be a dumb question but for 601 placement in acute care setting, is one week entirely PM shifts than the next entirely AM shifts?
