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

    • My responsibilities increased as I progressed within the internship. I main responsibility was managing my own tasks and prioritizing tasks as I always had a pretty large to do list, which was always changing with the increase in work that came into the department.

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