    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • Contacting my supervisor every morning to find out the tasks for the day. If tasks have rolled over from the day before, I continue on with them but let her know during the start of my shift that I'm continuing on with the tasks from yesterday. I usually worked on one task a day that would last till the end of my shift. If I finished early, I'd let my supervisor know and she would send me another task to work on.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • No, since I wasn't working in a team but rather under my supervisor due to the nature of my internship, as it was remote working. I felt responsibility when I had to submit a task by a certain deadline but other than that, no.

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
