    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager did take time to explain things. I think the problem for me was that I was completely unprepared for this internship in that I knew and understood very little, if anything at all. My manager was good at explaining, though I had to take time to work out what those explanations actually meang.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
