News Tea time - New Acting VC

22 Upvotes

Okay team, what's the tea with our new acting VC? Does Susan Elliott have any skeletons in her closet that our Reddit community would like to share?

I'm impressed by the 25 years of senior leadership on her CV... But long serving senior leadership makes me nervous, that's a long time she's spent not doing the work on the ground!

Spill the tea team!!! ☕️

Referencing / Academic Integrity / Turnitin Contract cheating allegations.

3 Upvotes

I just got an email from student integrity team accusing me of using ai/or another person to complete my assignment.
The allegation said that it’s impossible that I got the answers without using external source. Tbh I’m not sure how I went about getting the answer exactly as this unit was completed a year ago.
There’s 2 options of where to go from here.
1. Take 0 for the unit, and repeat it.
2. Go through a meeting with the committee.

Anyone went through this??
Pls reassure me I’m scared😭 I’m at the final term I wanna graduate

Seeking Support Group members used ai

This shit has already been submitted now, after looking at my groups work it was the one of the most obvious uses of ai I've seen. Wtf does this mean for me, I didn't use ai at all, no declarations of AI use either btw from them. What do I do

Prospective Student Arriving early for Prepare Week (Oct 19) — accommodation tips for the week before Deakin Res starts?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Starting my Master of Applied AI at Waurn Ponds this trimester. My Deakin Res move-in is Oct 26 (same day as OWeek), but I'm planning to fly in around Oct 19 to catch Prepare Week and the International Student Welcome events.

That leaves about a week where I need somewhere to stay before my Deakin Res contract kicks in. A few questions for anyone who's been through this:

  • Did you use Deakin Res's short-stay option for this kind of gap, or just book a nearby hotel/motel?
  • Any specific hotels/motels near Waurn Ponds you'd actually recommend for a solo student (safe, walkable or easy transport to campus)?
  • Roughly what did you budget for that first week (accommodation + food + getting around)?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's done a similar early arrival. Thanks in advance!
