There are some fantastic lecturers at UTAS. My experience during placements was one of extreme negligence and toxicity. I was not supported, on fact it was so bad that durind a six week placement i saw my facilitator 5 times during which he was aggressive, smelt of alcohol, i could go on and on. I did seek help but was told he was very experienced, nobody listened. This was my final placement before graduation. He subsequently failed me though i had consistent excellent feedback from staff, but he was not present, nor seemed to care. It felt personal towards the end. The stress was so bad I broke out in hives and my face swelled up. The stress of working so hard at such a high standard then being overlooked, not supported, including when I sort help from more senior staff at UTAS, and to then be failed was a pure case of injustice and it has harmed me to this day.
