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

    • Something in the middle...

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Appreciate the skills a lot, don't think I've developed enough to put 10 though. Probably my own fault. Overall, definitely helps with the studies, concentration during the lectures and tutorials and overall patience to get through the final year.
