After assignment submission
The essential steps for working with undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students are below. Our focus is on working with lecturer feedback.
Learning advisors may be able to work with you on your assignment once it has been submitted and marked by your lecturer. In accordance with AUT’s proofreading guidelines for student assessments and the guidelines for the proofreading of postgraduate theses and dissertations at AUT, learning advisors do not proofread or check student work. Students may have approximately two appointments per semester.
