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

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was solely in charge of my own time so in that sense I had the responsibility to get all my work done, however, as I was given my own project, I didn't have that many responsibilities with regards to the main department.
