    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My supervisor reviewed each piece of work I completed with me so I could see where I had gone wrong and how I could improve. She also set me a similar follow-up task so that I could apply what I had learned from the first time.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The research skills we received will prove very useful in my degree and the drafting skills I gained from the tasks I completed in my department will I hope stand me in good stead for starting my training contract.
